In her first interview about Ozzy Osbourne’s death, Sharon has opened up about their final night together, and the last words the Black Sabbath rockstar said to her before he sadly passed away
Heartbroken Sharon Osbourne has opened up about the last words her husband Ozzy Osbourne ever said to her before he died, and the painful regret that haunts her.
The Black Sabbath frontman passed away on July 22 at the age of 76, having struggled with a range of long-standing health concerns, including Parkinson’s disease. Tributes rolled in as the Osbourne family laid Ozzy to rest beneath an apple tree on the grounds of the family home this summer, with many holding great affection for the ‘Prince of Darkness’.
This was especially true in the rockstar’s home city of Birmingham, where just weeks earlier music fans had lined the streets ahead of his final homecoming. Such displays of support have been greatly appreciated by the Osbournes, who have now opened up in a touching interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored. This includes Ozzy’s devastated widow, Sharon, who has shed light on their poignant last conversation.

Speaking with Piers, whom she worked alongside on America’s Got Talent, Sharon, 73, remembered their final evening together. Explaining Ozzy had been up and down out of bed all night, Sharon recalled: “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.”
The mother-of-three recalled how she’d screamed uncontrollably after finding her husband of 43 years dead, knowing nothing could be done to revive him, despite desperate efforts by medics. According to Sharon, “He had a heart attack. 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’. 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.'”
Sadly, Sharon’s mental health plummeted as she grappled with her bereavement, and she says it was only the thought of her kids that pulled her through that dark time. She explained: “I would have just gone with Ozzy, definitely. I’ve done everything I wanted to do.” Having previously met women who’d lost their mothers to suicide, she’d vowed never to do the same to her children.
In the same interview, daughter Kelly, 41, emphasised just how much her father would have appreciated the “outpouring of love” following his passing. She said, “The outpouring of love has been so helpful to us. I never could have even imagined it to be as helpful as it has been to know that we’re not alone in our grief, in our sadness and that the rest of the world loved him as much as we did… I haven’t seen an outpouring like that since Princess Diana died. I didn’t expect it.”
