Ozzy Osbourne tragically passed away on July 22, 2025, due to a heart attack, with coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease listed as contributing factors. In a recent, heart-wrenching interview on the Piers Morgan Uncensored show, Sharon Osbourne shared her account of the metal legend’s final days.
In the days leading up to his death, Sharon revealed that Ozzy experienced strange dreams about people he had never met: “He told me that he was having dreams in the last week of his life. He was seeing people that he never knew.” When Sharon asked him to describe these people, Ozzy replied, “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.” Sharon believes that Ozzy was aware that his time was coming to an end.
Sharon also shared the details of Ozzy‘s final night, which is truly heartbreaking: “Ozzy was up and down to the bathroom all night, and it was around 4:30 when he said, ‘Wake up.’ I told him I was already awake, and he said, ‘Kiss me.’ Then he asked me to ‘Hug me tight.'” Sharon couldn’t help but wonder if there was anything she could have done differently, saying, “I keep thinking, ‘If only I’d told him I loved him more. If only I’d held him tighter.'” After their emotional exchange, Ozzy went downstairs, worked out for 20 minutes, and tragically passed away.
Unfortunately, by the time Sharon woke up, it was too late, despite the paramedics’ efforts to revive Ozzy: “I ran downstairs, and there he was, and they were trying to resuscitate him. I told them, ‘Don’t. Just leave him. Leave him. You can’t. He’s gone.'” Sharon knew instantly that Ozzy was gone, and the paramedics’ attempts to save him were in vain.
Regarding the farewell show, Back To The Beginning, which featured Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath, Sharon revealed that Ozzy was advised against performing due to his poor health: “He’d been terribly ill this year, and when we met with his new medical team in England, the main doctor told him, ‘If you do this show, that’s it. You’re not going to get through it.'” However, Ozzy was determined to perform, saying, “I’m doing it. I want to do it, and I’m doing it.”
Sharon acknowledged that Ozzy was aware of his body’s limitations and was in immense pain: “He knew his body was failing him. He was in so much pain, and he had pneumonia three times this year. He’d had sepsis, which really destroyed him.” The extensive use of antibiotics had also taken a toll on his body, making it difficult for him to recover.
In a way, Ozzy‘s performance at Back To The Beginning was like attending his own funeral. Sharon described Ozzy‘s reaction to the show, saying he was overjoyed: “He was so happy afterwards, looking at the papers and saying, ‘I never knew so many people liked me.'” Ozzy was unaware of the immense love and admiration his fans had for him, and the show was a testament to his enduring legacy.
For two weeks after the show, Ozzy was on cloud nine, basking in the positive feedback and love from his fans: “He was really, really happy, happier than we’d seen him in seven years.” A public funeral was held for Ozzy Osbourne in Birmingham, and the turnout was a testament to his enduring impact on the music world.
