Lita Ford honored Ozzy Osbourne following his passing by dedicating their duet, 'Close My Eyes Forever,' at her concert. Ford expressed that Ozzy changed her life from an early age after attending a Black Sabbath concert. She described their Top 10 hit as a highlight of her life and emphasized the importance of celebrating his music. Ford acknowledged Sharon Osbourne's role in supporting Ozzy's career, stating she greatly contributed to his longevity as a superstar. Ozzy had recently called their duet the best he ever recorded.
He changed my life, from the time I was 13 years old going to [a] Black Sabbath concert. That was it. That was the day and the night the light bulb went off over my head, and I just thought, 'I have to do this. This is what I wanna do.... And so that night I came out of there, and I knew what I was gonna do with my future.
It's just really ironic that I got to have a Top 10 hit single with Ozzy. And I have to say it was one of the highlights of my life. And we will all miss him, but his music will live on.
And I'm sure he would've probably been gone a long time ago if not for [his wife and manager] Sharon. I mean, Sharon was the best, and she took good care of Ozzy, and so she kept him going and she made him into the superstar that he is today.
Just weeks prior to his passing, Ozzy had declared that 'Close My Eyes Forever' was the best duet he had ever recorded.
