Sharon Osbourne Opens Up About Ozzy’s Final Days and a Love That Defied the Odds. Just days before Ozzy Osbourne’s death on July 22, 2025, Sharon Osbourne gave a deeply moving interview reflecting on their extraordinary life together. For more than four decades, their bond endured chaos, fame, addiction, and illness.
Sharon said she fell in love with Ozzy not for his stardom, but for his rawness and honesty — “He wasn’t pretending. He was what he was.” Vulnerable, wild, unpredictable, and absolutely himself. They married in 1982, shortly after Ozzy was dismissed from Black Sabbath. What seemed like the end of his career turned into a new beginning, thanks largely to Sharon, who became his manager and helped reshape rock history.
Together, they raised three children — Aimee, Kelly, and Jack — and faced more hardships than most couples do in a lifetime. Ozzy often called Sharon his rock, but she said he was her wind — the force that moved everything forward. Despite scandals, separations, and relapses, their love stayed strong.
In recent years, Ozzy’s health declined due to Parkinson’s disease and spinal surgeries, but his passion for music never faded. In early July, he reunited with Black Sabbath for one last concert — a true farewell. “If I die on stage, I’ll die happy,” he told Sharon, and she believed him because the stage was his home.
The interview closed with Sharon’s quiet but powerful truth: “He was my life. He still is.” Their love story wasn’t perfect or easy, but it was real and enduring — a testament to a bond that hardened, rather than shattered, through every storm.
