A newly conducted interview with Sharon Osbourne has found her opening up on the final moments she shared with her late husband, beloved heavy metal icon Ozzy Osbourne. Just weeks after delivering his farewell live appearance via an all-star tribute concert at Villa Park in Birmingham, UK on July 05th, 2025, the iconic Prince Of Darkness succumbed to a heart attack on July 22nd at the age of 76.. His tragic passing followed years of declining health from accrued injuries and his struggles with Parkinson’s Disease.
Appearing on the newest episode of ‘Piers Morgan Uncensored‘, Sharon — who also managed both Ozzy and the heavy metal pioneering outfit he fronted, Black Sabbath — emotionally discussed her life with Ozzy, whom she married back in 1982.
Speaking to Piers about the days leading up to Ozzy‘s passing, Sharon conveyed that he had remarked about having strange dreams roughly a week prior [per The Sun]:
“He had told me that he was having dreams in the last week of his life. He was seeing people that he never knew. I said, ‘Well, what kind of people?’ He goes, ‘All different people. And I just keep walking and walking, and I’m seeing all these different people every night, and I go back there and I’m looking at these people, and they’re looking at me, and nobody’s talking’. And he knew. He was ready.”
Sharon also recalled the details regarding their final night together during this new interview, telling Piers:
“[Ozzy] was up and down to the bathroom all night, and it was like 4.30 and he said, ‘Wake up’. I said, ‘I’m already bloody awake, you’ve woken me up’. And he said, ‘Kiss me’. And then he said, ‘Hug me tight’. I can’t help wondering if I should have, could I have? If only I’d have told him I loved him more. If only I’d have held him tighter. And he went downstairs, worked out for 20 minutes and passed away.”
Sharon said she was later woken up that morning by yelling, to which she came downstairs and found out that her husband had passed away:
“I ran downstairs, and there he was, and they were trying to resuscitate him, and I’m like, ‘Don’t. just leave him. Leave him. You can’t. He’s gone’.
She added:
“I knew instantly he’d gone. And they tried and tried, and then they took him by helicopter to the hospital and they tried, and it’s like, ‘He’s gone. Just leave him’.”
Prior to taking the stage at the ‘Back To The Beginning‘ concert in Birmingham, Ozzy had taken on an exercise regimen to help him get back into shape for the set. Unfortunately however, Ozzy‘s declining health presented considerable struggles, leading to him secretly being hospitalized just weeks ahead of the big show.
As Sharon stated in this new interview, his primary doctor had warned the couple in advance that the concert could have very well killed Ozzy. Given that knowledge, Piers asked Sharon if she thought Ozzy knew the end was near, she replied:
“Very much so, because he’d been so ill this year — terribly, terribly ill. And when we came to England and we were meeting with new doctors here, a new medical team for him, the main doctor said to him, ‘If you do this show, that’s it. You’re not going to get through it’. But we just sat there, and he said, ‘I’m doing it. I want to do it, and I’m doing it’.”
She continued:
“He knew his body was failing him. He was in so much pain, so much pain. And I mean, you know, he had pneumonia three times this year. He’d had sepsis. That’s what really, really destroyed him. He was on these shots of antibiotics. It used to take 20 minutes for the shot to go in, and he had that twice a day, and it kills everything in you, the good, the bad, everything. So much antibiotics, and he just couldn’t get over that. He just couldn’t.”
Despite his increasingly frail state of health, Osbourne gutted out the performance, raising some $11 million dollars for Cure Parkinson’s, the Birmingham Children’s Hospital and Acorn Children’s Hospice via the show, its livestreamed PPV, and an associated charity auction.
Ozzy‘s determination for one last live hurrah saw him perform seated upon a throne, running through abbreviated sets of both his own solo hits and classics with his Black Sabbath bandmates at ‘Back To The Beginning‘. That swan song received a joyous ovation from not only his adoring fans, but also his family and numerous esteemed peers in attendance. According to Sharon it was also a high point for him in his latter years:
“He just wanted it so bad to say thank you to everyone. And I think he honestly did know that, he, he was done. That was his time. And I think he honestly did know that, he, he was done. That was his time.”
Speaking of her husband’s mood after successfully pulling off the show, she relayed:
“He was so happy afterwards. He kept looking at the papers, and he goes to me, ‘I never knew so many people liked me’, but that was the way he was. I mean, he knew he was famous, but not the amount that people loved him. It’s a whole different thing, and he was just so happy, so so happy. And for two weeks he was, you know, really, like every day was sunshine for him. Really, really happy, yeah, so happy — happier than we’d seen him in seven years.”
Paramedics on the scene worked to resuscitate Ozzy for some reported two hours before the Rock & Roll Hall Of Famer was officially declared dead on the family’s estate in Buckinghamshire, UK. He was ultimately buried on the grounds of that estate in a private ceremony attended his family and friends.
