The Final Chapter: Sharon's Emotional Revelations on Ozzy's Passing

In the months following the death of the Prince of Darkness, Sharon Osbourne appeared on several platforms, including "Piers Morgan: Uncensored," to share the deeply personal and often painful details of her husband’s final year and last moments.

1. The 2024 Fall That Triggered His Decline

Ozzy’s long-standing health battles, including his diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PRKN2), were widely known, but Sharon revealed a specific turning point. She explained that a fall in 2024 was the catalyst for a "domino effect" of worsening health. This fall resulted in a fractured vertebra, which led to a series of subsequent surgeries and a significant impact on his mobility and overall well-being.

Despite his deteriorating health, Ozzy continued to give updates on his SiriusXM radio show, "OZZY Speaks," in early 2025, discussing his ongoing struggles with walking and his sobriety, demonstrating his characteristic resilience.

2. His Poignant Last Words

In a tearful interview, Sharon shared the final, simple words Ozzy spoke to her just before he passed away. She recounted that he told her, "I just love you so much," a final, powerful affirmation of their extraordinary, if complicated, love story. These words underscored the deep, soulmate connection they maintained for over 40 years, despite the numerous public scandals and private struggles they endured.

3. The Heartbreaking Decision to Break the 'Death Pact'

One of the most shocking revelations was the existence of a "death pact" between the couple. Sharon disclosed that she and Ozzy had agreed that if one of them were to become severely ill and unable to live a quality life, the other would help them end it. This pact was a testament to their commitment to each other's dignity.

However, when the moment arrived, Sharon found herself unable to go through with it. She credited their children—Aimee, Kelly, and Jack Osbourne—as the reason she ultimately broke the pact. The thought of inflicting that level of pain on her children by going through with the pact was something she couldn't bear, choosing instead to be present and surrounded by love during his final moments.

4. The Peaceful Passing Surrounded by Family

Ozzy's death in July 2025 was described as a peaceful passing, as he was "with his family and surrounded by love" in their Harefield home. The family had moved back to the U.K. full-time in 2024, a move Sharon had admitted they were desperate to make. This detail confirms that the legendary rocker spent his final days in his home country, surrounded by his closest loved ones, including his wife of 43 years.

5. Sharon’s Biggest Regret in Their Relationship

Looking back on their decades-long journey, Sharon also revealed what she considers her biggest mistake with Ozzy. She admitted that she should have been more present and less focused on managing his career and their finances. This candid self-reflection highlights the immense pressure and blurred lines in their personal and professional relationship, where Sharon was both his wife and the formidable business brain behind his career.

The Prince of Darkness's Enduring Reign and Legacy

Ozzy Osbourne’s legacy extends far beyond his shocking stage antics and the reality television cameras of The Osbournes. As the co-founder and original lead singer of Black Sabbath, he is universally recognized as a pioneer of the heavy metal genre.

His solo career, masterfully managed by Sharon, produced iconic hits like "Crazy Train" and "Bark at the Moon," cementing his status as a global rock icon.

The couple's willingness to open their lives to the public through their MTV reality show, The Osbournes, in the early 2000s, transformed them into household names and influenced a generation of celebrity reality programming.

While Ozzy's final public performance was a farewell show on July 5, 2025, his music will continue to resonate for decades. Sharon Osbourne, in her first public appearances since his tragic passing, has shown immense poise and strength, vowing to keep his name and music alive. Their story remains a powerful testament to enduring love, the complexity of fame, and the unbreakable bond forged in the fires of rock and roll.

The outpouring of grief and tributes from fellow musicians and fans worldwide confirms that John Michael Osbourne's reign as the Prince of Darkness is a legacy that will never fade.
