Sharon Osbourne has opened up about her late husband Ozzy Osbourne's final moments before he passed away in July at the age of 76, sharing intimate details of their last hours together. The America's Got Talent alum, 73, spoke tearfully during the Dec. 10 episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored.
"He was up and down to the bathroom all night, and it was 4:30 a.m., and he said, 'Wake up,'" she recalled. "I said, 'I'm already bloody awake, you've woken me up.'" Sharon added, "He said, 'Kiss me,' and then he said, 'Hug me tight.'" Looking back, she admitted, "If only I'd have told him I loved him more. If only I'd have held him tighter."
The following morning, Ozzy went downstairs for a brief workout. "He went downstairs, worked out for 20 minutes and passed away," Sharon explained. She described the moment she found 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 added that she "knew instantly he'd gone."
In the weeks before his death, Ozzy shared with Sharon that he had been experiencing vivid dreams of unfamiliar people. He described seeing these individuals repeatedly, walking among them each night, while they looked at him silently. Sharon reflected that he seemed aware of what was coming and had accepted that his time was near.
Despite his severe illness, Ozzy went ahead with a farewell Black Sabbath concert in Birmingham shortly before his death, even though doctors warned it would be risky. He struggled with pneumonia, sepsis, and intensive antibiotic treatments, which took a heavy toll on his body. Still, he was deeply grateful for the performance and the outpouring of love from fans. During his final weeks, he was happier than he had been in years, enjoying each day to the fullest.
Sharon, who married Ozzy in 1982, shared that she will not marry again, stating through tears, "That's it for now." The couple shared children Aimee, 42, Kelly, 41, and Jack, 40.
