The Final Days: Ozzy’s Health Battle and Last Performance

Ozzy Osbourne's final years were overshadowed by a series of severe health struggles, which Sharon has confirmed were far more debilitating than the public realized. His battle with Parkinson’s disease (PRKN 2) was compounded by a severe fall in 2019 that aggravated a previous neck injury, requiring extensive surgery and physical therapy.

The Progression of Illness

Ozzy had been open about his inability to tour, but Sharon's recent interviews revealed the true extent of his decline. By early 2025, the "Prince of Darkness" had largely lost his ability to walk, relying on a wheelchair and the constant care of his family.

Despite his physical condition, Ozzy managed to perform his final show, titled "Back to the Beginning," in his hometown of Birmingham on July 5, 2025. This performance was a monumental effort, with Sharon later confirming that Ozzy was determined to go out on his own terms, knowing it would likely be his last time on stage.

The Tragic End

Ozzy Osbourne died on July 22, 2025, just over two weeks after his final concert and days after celebrating his 43rd wedding anniversary with Sharon. The official causes of death were a heart attack, with coronary artery disease and Parkinson's disease listed as secondary factors. The family revealed that Ozzy had suffered multiple health setbacks in the months leading up to his passing, making his final concert an even more heroic feat.

5 Heartbreaking Truths Sharon Revealed in Late 2025

Since Ozzy’s death, Sharon Osbourne has bravely shared the intimate, painful details of their final chapter in a series of highly emotional interviews, most notably with Piers Morgan, and on *The Osbournes podcast*. These revelations have provided the freshest, most current, and most shocking insights into their legendary marriage.

1. Ozzy’s Final Words and Last Moments

In a tearful interview, Sharon revealed the final words Ozzy spoke to her. The legendary rocker, known for his wild public persona, passed away peacefully, but his last words were a profound and deeply personal farewell. Sharon shared that Ozzy's final moments were spent surrounded by his family, a quiet and loving end to a loud life.

2. The Assisted Suicide Pact Was Real—But Not Executed

Perhaps the most shocking revelation was the discussion of the couple’s long-standing assisted suicide pact. Sharon confirmed that they had a mutual agreement to die together if either of them became seriously ill and lost their quality of life.

However, Sharon chose not to go through with the pact after Ozzy’s death. She explained that the thought of putting her children—Aimee, Kelly, and Jack Osbourne—and her grandchildren through that kind of pain was a deterrent. Her family became her "reason" to live, demonstrating a profound shift in her perspective in the wake of her loss.

3. He Knew the Last Show Would ‘Kill Him’

Sharon stated that Ozzy was fully aware of the risk he was taking with his "Back to the Beginning" concert. She said he "knew [the last show] would kill him," but he was determined to perform one final time for his fans and to prove he could still do it despite his physical limitations. This final act of defiance against his illness is now seen as the ultimate farewell from the "Prince of Darkness."

4. Her Current Struggle with Grief and Loss

In interviews conducted just months after Ozzy's passing in late 2025, Sharon opened up about her "heartbreaking struggles" as a widow. She described the profound loneliness and the difficulty of adjusting to life without her husband of 43 years. Her public appearances, including an event in November 2025, showed a brave face, but she admitted to contemplating her own loss and struggling to find her footing.

5. The Biopic and Grammy Tributes are Still Happening

While Ozzy is gone, his legacy and the Osbourne brand continue. Sony confirmed in late 2025 that the long-awaited biopic about Ozzy and Sharon's epic love story is still in production. Furthermore, in November 2025, Sharon, Jack, and Kelly Osbourne made a joint public appearance at the 2026 Grammy Awards nominations event to pay tribute to Ozzy and announce the rock and metal nominees, confirming the family's commitment to honoring his musical impact.

Sharon’s Future: Legacy and New Projects

As of December 2025, Sharon Osbourne is channeling her grief into continuing the family's media presence and preserving Ozzy's memory. The ongoing success of *The Osbournes podcast*, featuring Sharon, Kelly, and Jack, serves as a current platform where they frequently share fresh, candid stories about Ozzy's life and their family dynamics. The most significant ongoing project is the aforementioned Sony biopic, which is expected to delve into the raw, uncensored details of their life, from Ozzy's early days with Black Sabbath to his solo career and their reality TV fame. Sharon, the ultimate music manager and businesswoman, is ensuring that the "Prince of Darkness’s" story is told accurately and completely, cementing his place not just as a rock legend, but as a beloved family man whose final days were marked by immense courage and an unforgettable love.
