WILLIE NELSON’S LAST “HELLO” — HE SINGS TO OZZY OSBOURNE’S EMPTY CHAIR ON OZZY’S BIRTHDAY Empty stage. One spotlight. One worn black coat draped over a chair where Ozzy Osbourne used to sit, laugh, and raise hell in the gentlest way. Tonight — on Ozzy’s birthday — Willie Nelson walked out slowly, holding his guitar like a memory he wasn’t sure he could face. Then he whispered, “This one’s for you, brother,” and began singing a trembling version of “See You On the Other Side.” He sang straight to the chair… as if Ozzy were right there nodding along. When the final note faded, Willie reached into his pocket and placed a black-and-red bandana on the empty seat — matching the one he wore. Two rebels, two legends, sharing one last moment across the distance. The crowd didn’t cheer. They couldn’t. A few swear the spotlight flickered… almost like Ozzy leaned in to listen. Tonight proved one thing: The Prince of Darkness never really left — especially not on his birthday.
