Sharon Osbourne, 74, is sharing how she copes with the loss of her husband, rock star Ozzy Osbourne, who passed away at the age of 76 in July 2025 at their home in Buckinghamshire, England. Although more than a year has gone by since his death, Sharon still grapples with her grief, believing she will never completely overcome the loss. In an interview with the BBC, she mentioned that while it is difficult, she is trying to learn how to live with the pain rather than simply hide from it.
Ozzy faced many health challenges in the years before his passing, including Parkinson’s disease, which he discussed publicly. His death surprised many fans, especially just weeks after he performed at a farewell concert in Birmingham, where he felt elated and received positive reviews.
On July 22, 2025, Ozzy woke up early for his routine exercise but suffered a heart attack shortly afterward. Sharon revealed that they had shared a moment the night before, where he had asked her for kisses and to hold him tightly. She recounted the moment when someone rushed in to tell her to come downstairs, which marked the end of their time together.
Following his death, there was a funeral procession through Birmingham, where thousands of fans gathered to pay their respects, leaving flowers and singing songs from Black Sabbath. Later, a private burial took place for family only. Sharon expressed that she could not bring herself to bury Ozzy in a public cemetery, citing concerns about the lack of peace for those in the public eye. This choice allows her to feel close to him, as she shared that she visits his resting place every day and can see it from her window.
