Ozzy Osbourne, the world-renowned “Prince of Darkness” and legendary frontman of Black Sabbath, passed away on July 22, 2025, at the age of 76.

The news of his death sent shockwaves through the global music community, with tributes pouring in from fans, fellow artists, and celebrities.

But just days before his passing, his wife of 43 years, Sharon Osbourne, gave a deeply emotional interview where she reflected on their extraordinary life together — the love, the pain, and the enduring bond they shared.

“I Fell in Love With His Chaos and Energy,” Says Sharon

In a moving segment aired on AXS TV, Sharon spoke with a mix of tears and smiles, sharing her most intimate memories of her husband.

“I fell in love with his chaos, his energy, and the way he lived life without brakes,” she said. “He wasn’t pretending. He was what he was — vulnerable, strong, funny, and sometimes heartbreakingly lost. And I loved him for all of it.”

Sharon emphasized that their relationship was more than rock-and-roll stardom and headlines. It was a journey of unconditional love, resilience, and raw honesty — filled with both triumph and turbulence.

43 Years of Love, Battles, and Loyalty

Married since 1982, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne stood by each other through everything — from addiction struggles and health crises to career comebacks and worldwide fame.

“Ozzy always called me his rock,” Sharon said, “but he was my wind. He pushed me, lifted me, and sometimes carried me to places I never thought I could reach.”

The couple raised three children together — Aimee, Kelly, and Jack — and faced challenges that could have torn most marriages apart. But their connection remained unbreakable.

“He Knew the End Was Near, But He Didn’t Want Pity”

In the final months of his life, Ozzy’s battle with Parkinson’s disease and several back and neck surgeries had left him increasingly frail. Despite this, Sharon revealed that Ozzy never lost his passion for music — or his desire to perform.

“He told me, ‘If I die on stage, I’ll die happy,’” she recalled. “That’s why his final show this July meant so much to him. It wasn’t just a concert — it was his goodbye.”

Ozzy reunited with his original Black Sabbath bandmates for one final time in what would become a legendary farewell performance. Fans and family alike now look back on that moment as a symbolic closing chapter to one of the most influential careers in rock history.

Sharon: “I Will Never Stop Loving Him”

As the interview came to a close, Sharon’s voice cracked with emotion.

“He was my life. He still is. Ozzy wasn’t just my husband — he was a force of nature,” she said. “And now, without him, the world is a little quieter.”

Through her heartfelt words, Sharon gave fans a rare glimpse into the private world behind one of rock’s most iconic couples — a love story that defied the odds and left an indelible mark on music history.
