Sharon Osbourne tearfully reveals the intimate details of Ozzy Osbourne’s final night, offering a rare glimpse into the legendary rocker’s last hours before his passing on July 30.
The Final Night
During a December 10 episode of “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” the 73‑year‑old shared a memory that has since become a poignant testament to their bond. “He was up and down to the bathroom all night, and it was 4:30 a.m., and he said, ‘Wake up,’” she said tearfully. “I said, ‘I’m already bloody awake, you’ve woken me up.’”
He continued, “He said, ‘Kiss me,’” and then he said, “Hug me tight.” Sharon confessed that she wished she had seized that moment to tell him how much she loved him, adding, “If only I’d have told him I loved him more,” and “If only I’d have held him tighter.”
The Heart Attack
The following day proved to be Ozzy’s last, as he suffered a heart attack shortly after a brief workout. He was 76 when he died, a loss that reverberated through the music world.
The Funeral
The family’s grief was made visible on July 30 when Sharon, along with daughters Kelly, 41, and Aimee, 42, and sons Jack, 40, and Louis, walked beside his flower‑covered coffin in Birmingham, England. The scene was described by Sharon as a quiet procession of love and loss.
She recalled the moment they arrived: “I ran downstairs, and there he was,” she said. “They were trying to resuscitate him, and I’m like, ‘Don’t — just leave him. Leave him. You can’t. He’s gone.’”
The Final Dreams
Sharon also spoke about the days leading up to Ozzy’s death, noting that he was “seeing people that he never knew” in his dreams. “I said, ‘Well, what kind of people?’” 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 I go back there and I’m looking at these people, and they’re looking at me, and nobody’s talking.’”
She concluded that he was ready for the end, saying, “He knew,” she added. “He was ready.”
A Silver Lining
While the family continues to grieve, they have found a silver lining. Earlier this week, Jack announced that he and his wife Aree Gearhart are expecting their second baby together — his fifth overall — and that he was able to share the happy news with his dad.
Jack told The Sun on Sunday in an interview published Dec. 7, “It’s been partly a healthy distraction, partly healing,” he said. “It’s very much taken energy out of the grieving side of things and parked in a bit more hopefulness.”
