In an emotionally raw and exclusive interview, Sharon Osbourne has shared the intimate details of the final hours she spent with her husband, the legendary heavy metal icon Ozzy Osbourne. Speaking on the latest episode of “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” Sharon recounted the traumatic morning of July 22, 2025, when the Black Sabbath frontman passed away at their home in Buckinghamshire at the age of 76.
For the first time since his death, Sharon opened up about the conversation they shared just minutes before he died. According to Sharon, Ozzy woke her at 4:30 a.m., shortly before going downstairs for his morning exercise routine.
“[Ozzy] was up and down to the bathroom all night, and it was like 4.30 and he said, ‘Wake up’,” Sharon told Morgan (via The Sun). “I said, ‘I’m already bl**dy awake, you’ve woken me up’. And he said, ‘Kiss me’. And then he said, ‘Hug me tight’.”
Reflecting on that final exchange, Sharon expressed deep regret and longing.
“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,” she said. “And he went downstairs, worked out for 20 minutes and passed away.”
Ozzy, who had been battling significant health issues including Parkinson’s Disease, pneumonia, and sepsis, collapsed in the family’s home gym. Sharon recalled hearing yelling from the staff and rushing downstairs to find paramedics attempting to save him.
“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’,” she recounted, fighting back tears. “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’.”
The interview also shed light on Ozzy‘s determination to perform one last time, despite dire medical warnings. Just weeks prior, on July 5, Osbourne delivered a triumphant farewell set at Villa Park in Birmingham. Sharon revealed that his medical team had explicitly advised against the performance.
“When we came to England and we were meeting with new doctors here, a new medical team for him, the main doctor said to him, ‘If you do this show, that’s it. You’re not going to get through it’,” Sharon revealed. “But we just sat there, and he said, ‘I’m doing it. I want to do it, and I’m doing it’.”
Sharon described the physical toll the last year had taken on the singer, noting that he had suffered pneumonia three times and undergone grueling antibiotic treatments for sepsis. Despite the pain, the show provided Ozzy with a final period of immense joy.
“For two weeks he was, you know, really, like every day was sunshine for him. Really, really happy, yeah, so happy — happier than we’d seen him in seven years,” she said. “He kept looking at the papers, and he goes to me, ‘I never knew so many people liked me’… I mean, he knew he was famous, but not the amount that people loved him.”
In the week leading up to his death, Ozzy appeared to have premonitions that his time was ending. Sharon shared that he spoke of vivid, strange dreams.
“He had told me that he was having dreams in the last week of his life. He was seeing people that he never knew,” she explained. “He goes, ‘All different people. And I just keep walking and walking, and I’m seeing all these different people every night… and nobody’s talking’. And he knew. He was ready.”
The loss has left Sharon devastated. In a harrowing moment of the interview, she admitted that she would have considered taking her own life to be with him if not for their children—Aimee, Jack, and Kelly—and her grandchildren.
“I would have just gone with Ozzy, definitely. I’ve done everything I wanted to do,” she confessed. “But… years ago, when I had one of my mental breakdowns, I went into a little facility… And there were two girls over there… each mother had committed suicide. And I saw the state that these two young women were in and what it had done to their lives, and I thought, I will never, ever, ever do that to my kids.”
Sharon also dismissed any possibility of remarriage, recalling a question Ozzy asked her during his final weeks.
“One night when he was hugging me tight, you know, he said, ‘When I go, do you think you’ll ever get married?’ I’m like, ‘…Oh, my God no, never, ever, ever, no.'”
Since his passing, the family has received condolences from around the world, including personal letters from President Donald Trump and King Charles.
“President Trump wrote to me, and then actually His Majesty sent me a letter the next day,” Sharon said. “It said how sorry he was. He knew Ozzy… and they would always laugh together. And just, you know, he got Ozzy. He got him.”
