Sharon Osbourne said she will 'never get over' the death of her husband Ozzy, the Black Sabbath rocker who died aged 76. In an interview with the BBC, she revealed that in the hours before his death, Ozzy woke in the night and asked her to kiss him twice. 'And then he said, "Hold me, hold me tight," and I did,' she recalled. That morning, someone came running into her room telling her to come downstairs, and 'that was it', Sharon said.

The New York Post reports that Ozzy died on 22 July 2025 at his home in Buckinghamshire, England. His death certificate listed the causes as cardiac arrest, coronary artery disease and Parkinson's disease with autonomic dysfunction.

Speaking of her grief, Sharon said: 'You've lost the love of your life, so you don't just wake up and go, "I'm fine now. I'm cured." You never get over it. But you learn to live with it.' She visits Ozzy's grave every day and chose to bury him privately rather than in a public graveyard, saying she wanted him to 'rest' without disturbance from members of the public.
