Sharon Osbourne’s first appearance since Ozzy’s death revealed.
Sharon Osbourne was seen publicly for the first time since Ozzy Osbourne’s death.
Ozzy’s road to rock royalty highlighted.
Born in Birmingham in 1948, John Michael “Ozzy” Osbourne rose from factory worker to global rock god as the founding voice of Black Sabbath.
He formed Black Sabbath in 1968 with Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward—pioneering the heavy metal genre with a raw, doom-heavy sound.
After being fired from Black Sabbath in 1979 for substance abuse, Ozzy launched a wildly successful solo career with hits like “Crazy Train” and “Mr. Crowley.”
Ozzy became a household name again in the 2000s with The Osbournes, MTV’s chaotic, foul-mouthed, and wildly popular reality show.
While Kelly and Jack embraced the show’s fame, Aimee refused to participate, leaving home to avoid the cameras—maintaining a rare level of privacy.
Ozzy Osbourne’s death confirmed.
Ozzy passed away at his UK estate following a long battle with Parkinson’s disease—a diagnosis he’d revealed publicly in 2020.
His death was confirmed in a somber family statement last week, leaving fans around the world stunned and heartbroken.
“There will never be another like him,” Sharon Osbourne wrote in the announcement, which was brief, emotional, and straight from the heart.
No cause beyond complications from his illness was given, though insiders say Ozzy had been in and out of hospitals in the weeks leading up to his passing.
The announcement came just weeks after his final public appearance in Birmingham, where he performed at a charity event to thunderous applause.
In one of his final public acts, Ozzy raised a staggering $190 million for charity after performing in Birmingham.
Fans flooded social media with tributes within minutes, calling Ozzy “immortal,” “irreplaceable,” and “the voice of rebellion.”
Even longtime rivals and fellow rockers like Gene Simmons and Alice Cooper posted messages honoring his legacy and groundbreaking influence.
Though his body gave out, the Prince of Darkness went out on his own terms—leaving behind six children, a rock empire, and millions of grieving fans.
Sharon’s funeral appearance exposed.
She was visibly emotional and accompanied by her three children during a tearful funeral procession in Birmingham.
Crowds chanted “Ozzy! Ozzy! Ozzy!” as the hearse passed, a haunting tribute to the late Black Sabbath icon who died last week at the age of 76.
The Osbourne family chose a public procession so fans could say their goodbyes—starting at the Black Sabbath bench on Broad Street.
Sharon was seen embracing Birmingham’s Lord Mayor Zafar Iqbal before laying a floral tribute under a poster reading: “Birmingham will always love you.”
Each family member carried a pink flower wrapped in black paper, placing it among hundreds of other tributes laid across the city.
The hearse paused at Lodge Road in Aston—Ozzy’s childhood home—where fans lined the streets, throwing flowers and holding signs of love.
Live musicians from Bostin Brass played iconic Black Sabbath songs while fans sobbed, clapped, and shouted their last words to the rock legend.
While Sharon put on a brave face, she was visibly shaken. Friends say she’s been “holding it together for the family.”
Kelly Osbourne was seen leaning in to comfort her mother, holding her hand as the family paused before the bench memorial.
Jack played the role of protector—guiding his sisters and mother through swarms of fans and media near the city center.
The appearance marked the first time Sharon has been seen in public since confirming her husband’s death in a quiet statement last week.
In a final dramatic gesture, fans tossed black roses at the hearse as it rolled down Broad Street, mirroring the gothic pageantry of Ozzy’s career.
The family paused at the floral memorial one last time, as Sharon whispered something inaudible and touched the image of her husband.
Tears flowed freely at the Black Sabbath bench, now blanketed with tributes—an unofficial shrine to Birmingham’s dark prince of metal.
Tributes pour in from across the globe.
Musicians, actors, and fans around the world have shared memories of Ozzy—who was praised for his grit, humor, and legendary voice.
The family has not yet announced when or where Ozzy will be buried, though some sources claim it will be in a private ceremony abroad.
In a stunning display of public mourning, Sharon Osbourne and her rarely-seen daughter gave fans one final look into the life—and death—of a legend.
And she fulfilled his only wish for the funeral.
He wanted it to be a celebration of his life not a typical funeral, and his wife proudly delivered that.
