Sharon Osbourne is marking the first anniversary of her husband Ozzy’s passing by encouraging fans to honor the rock legend by playing his music at maximum volume. In a heartfelt interview with BBC Radio WM, she reflected on the death of the Black Sabbath frontman, who was 76 and had been living with Parkinson’s disease.
Reflecting on his personality, Sharon described him as a genuine, charismatic individual who never pretended to be anyone else. She recalled their spirited arguments, noting that even at their most intense, they usually dissolved into laughter because of his sharp wit and sense of humor. She shared that Ozzy himself would have wanted fans to celebrate his life by blasting his songs and headbanging.
As Birmingham prepares for its inaugural Ozzy Day, Sharon highlighted the deep connection her husband felt toward his hometown. She praised the city’s spirit and emphasized that such a tribute would only feel appropriate in the place where he was raised. The couple had long supported charitable causes, and Sharon confirmed that their efforts—specifically regarding Parkinson’s research—would continue in his memory. Reflecting on the final farewell concert at Villa Park last year, she expressed gratitude for the immense global outpouring of love and respect for the singer, describing the event as a beautiful moment that her family will cherish forever.
