Sharon Osbourne Shares Emotional Details About Ozzy's Final Night and Her Life After His Passing

For the first time since Ozzy Osbourne died earlier this year, Sharon Osbourne has opened up in depth about her husband’s final moments, his state of mind before his passing and how she is adjusting to life at home without him. The interview took place during her appearance on “Piers Morgan Uncensored”, marking her first sit-down conversation since Ozzy died on July 22 at the age of 76, just weeks after his historic 'Black Sabbath' farewell performance Back To The Beginning.

Ozzy’s Final Weeks: Dreams, Pain and a Sense of Acceptance

Sharon revealed that in the final week of his life, Ozzy experienced vivid dreams that seemed to signal he knew his time was near. He described encountering unfamiliar people in those dreams, walking endlessly among them in silence. According to Sharon, he understood what those visions meant and had accepted that the end was approaching.

Ozzy’s declining health had been a concern for months. Doctors warned him that performing Back To The Beginning could be fatal. But Ozzy, determined to thank his fans one final time, refused to back down. Despite pneumonia, sepsis and relentless chronic pain, he insisted on stepping onstage one last time.

After the concert, Sharon said Ozzy was happier than he had been in years. He spent the following days filled with joy, amazed by the global response to the show. “He never realized how deeply people loved him,” Sharon said. “For two weeks, every day felt like sunshine for him.”

The Last Conversation Between Sharon and Ozzy

During the interview, Sharon recounted the tender final exchange she shared with her husband during the early hours of July 22. Ozzy had been restless through the night, repeatedly getting out of bed. Around 4:30 a.m., he asked her to wake up.

“I told him I was already awake because he kept getting up,” Sharon recalled. “Then he said, ‘Kiss me,’ and after that, ‘Hug me tight.’”

Moments later, Ozzy went downstairs to exercise, as he often did. Twenty minutes later, he was gone. He suffered a sudden heart attack inside their home.

Sharon Remembers the Moment She Realized He Was Gone

Sharon described racing downstairs after hearing shouting in the house. She found Ozzy unresponsive as attempts were made to revive him.

“They were trying to resuscitate him and I just said, ‘Leave him. He’s gone.’”She explained that she knew instantly what had happened. Ozzy was transported by helicopter to the hospital, but every effort failed. “He was already gone,” she said.

The legendary singer was honored with a private ceremony on July 30, following an emotional public procession through Birmingham that stopped at the iconic Black Sabbath bench. A local brass ensemble performed “Iron Man” and “Crazy Train” as thousands of fans gathered to pay their respects.

How Sharon Is Coping at Home

In the months following Ozzy’s death, Sharon has remained at their home in the United Kingdom while her children spend most of their time in the United States. She admitted that adjusting to daily life without him has been overwhelming.

“Every day I think, ‘What am I going to do with myself? What the fuck am I going to do?’” she told Morgan.

Sharon revealed that she has been spending many hours reading through Ozzy’s personal diaries. The rock icon began journaling in 1984 during his time in rehab and continued the habit for decades, documenting his thoughts with complete honesty. Sharon said she had never read them until now.

“He was very truthful in his writing,” she explained. “But a lot of it is sad. He put himself down constantly.”

She also shared that she has more than 2,000 drawings Ozzy created over the years. Although she currently has no plans to publish his journals or artwork, she said she might consider sharing select pieces in the future.

A Legacy That Lives On

Even in his final months, Ozzy’s dedication to his fans never wavered. Despite pain, illness and doctor warnings, he insisted on delivering one last show. Back To The Beginning became the closing chapter of a career that shaped the entire history of heavy music.

For Sharon, navigating life without him is a daily challenge. But through his drawings, his journals and the memories they shared, she continues to feel his presence.

“He knew. He was ready,” she said. “And now I’m learning how to live in a world without him.”
