In an emotional interview with Piers Morgan for his Uncensored show, Sharon Osbourne opened up about the final moments she shared with her beloved husband, rock legend Ozzy Osbourne.
The conversation, which aired for the first time, revealed the pain and deep love that defined their relationship.
Sharon also opened up about Ozzy's final words and the last moments of his life.
Ozzy's Final Moments: A Tearful Goodbye
Sharon, still grieving the loss of her husband of 43 years, recounted Ozzy's last words to her.
The moment, which occurred in the early hours of the morning, was captured in a heartbreaking recollection.
It was 4:00AM, and Ozzy, who had been battling severe health issues, had woken up to speak to her.
"He said, ‘Kiss me. Hug me tight,’” Sharon shared.
Sharon revealed that just 20 minutes later, Ozzy passed away at their family home in Buckinghamshire.
“He died of a heart attack,” she explained.
Sharon rushed downstairs upon hearing shouts, only to find her husband collapsed in the gym.
Despite attempts to resuscitate him, Sharon knew instantly he was gone. "I’m like, ‘Don’t — just leave him. Leave him. You can’t. He’s gone,’" she recalled.
Ozzy's Health Struggles Before His Passing
The Black Sabbath frontman had faced a long string of health battles in his final years, including pneumonia and sepsis.
Despite these challenges, Ozzy remained committed to maintaining his fitness, often working out on his cross-trainer for up to 90 minutes a day.
That night in July, Sharon had noticed Ozzy’s restless behavior.
"He was up and down to the bathroom all night," she recalled. “It was like 4:30, and he said, ‘Wake up.’ I said, ‘I’m already bloody awake, you’ve woken me up.’”
Sharon couldn't help but wonder if she could have done more. "If only I’d have told him I loved him more. If only I’d have held him tighter."
After a brief workout, Ozzy passed away.
Did Ozzy Know He Was At The End?
Sharon shared an intimate detail of Ozzy’s last days that suggests he may have known his time was nearing.
In the week before his death, Ozzy spoke to Sharon about the strange dreams he had been experiencing.
“He was seeing people that he never knew,” she said. “He goes, ‘All different people. And I just keep walking and walking, and I’m seeing all these different people every night.’”
Sharon believes that Ozzy knew he was approaching the end. “He knew. He was ready.”
The Final Concert: A Triumphant Goodbye
In one of Ozzy's final public appearances, he performed at Villa Park on July 5, just two weeks before his passing.
Sharon admitted that doctors had warned Ozzy his health was too fragile to perform.
“If you do this show, that’s it. You’re not going to get through it,” Sharon remembered the doctors saying. Despite their concerns, Ozzy was resolute. “I’m doing it. I want to do it, and I’m doing it,” he insisted.
Sharon revealed that Ozzy was aware of his deteriorating health.
“He was in so much pain,” she said. He had suffered multiple bouts of pneumonia and sepsis, which weakened him significantly.
During the performance, Ozzy sat on a custom-made throne because he could no longer stand for long periods.
