Prince of Darkness Ozzy Osbourne says that he saw death coming for the Princess Diana before her tragic accident, reports Contact Music.

Weeks before Diana and her fiance Dodi Fayed were killed in a 1997 car accident in a Parisian tunnel, Ozzy claims he woke up in a cold sweat with a terrible premonition. He immediately told an assistant about his prediction.

He reportedly said, “I remember when Princess Diana was still alive, I woke up one morning and said to my assistant, ‘You know what? Something very bad’s gonna happen to her.’

“And sure enough, days or weeks later, the tragedy in Paris happened.”

But Ozzy doesn’t really think there is anything particularly amazing about his foresight.

“The fact is, if someone’s living their life at 300 miles per hour, you don’t have to be a clairvoyant to see what’s coming” he said.

Even if there was no sixth sense involved, Ozzy and his fellow Sabbath members are no strangers to supposed weird phenomena. The legend behind their early hit single Black Sabbath is that it involved a nighttime visit from the great beyond.

Bassist Geezer Butler, who was going through a dark occult phase, was given a Latin book on witchcraft by Osbourne. Butler claims he read the book before going to bed, and was awakened later by a black hooded figure standing at the foot of his bed pointing directly at him. He was absolutely petrified. The next day he claims the book had mysteriously vanished.

The song Black Sabbath is said to be about the experience.
