Ozzy Osbourne's Family Helped By Robin Williams During Cancer Fight

08/14/2014
. (Classic Rock) Ozzy Osbourne will never forget the kindness shown to him and wife Sharon by later comedian Robin Williams. He came to their rescue in 2002 when she was fighting cancer - and the Black Sabbath frontman says he's "forever in debt" to him.

Williams, 63, committed suicide on Monday after a lifelong battle with bipolar disorder and depression. Ozzy tells VH1: "When Sharon was diagnosed with colon cancer, I'd seen the film Patch Adams, about a guy in a hospital working with terminal people. I thought, 'What a great thing to do, and he's a very funny man.'

"I got my agent to contact him and ask if he'd be so kind as to come round and talk to my wife, which he did. It was very nice of him." Read Sharon's recounting of the visit here.
