Sharon’s Final Gift to Ozzy

Just weeks before Ozzy Osbourne’s death, Sharon Osbourne fulfilled his last wish—to say goodbye to fans on his terms. Determined, she fought insurers

who refused coverage for Ozzy’s appearance at the Back to the Beginning benefit concert on July 5, 2025, in Birmingham due to his Parkinson’s and frailty.

Her solution: Ozzy would perform seated on a custom bat-shaped throne. Though disappointed—he had trained for months to stand—he agreed.

The concert marked Ozzy’s farewell in his hometown, raising millions for charity. Despite sitting, he trained daily,

wore a pulse oximeter, and gave everything he had. “He was driven,” a source said. “He wanted to show strength—even seated.”

Ozzy leaves behind six children and an estimated $220 million fortune. Legal experts predict potential disputes if his will lacks clarity.

True to form, Ozzy wanted a humorous farewell. He once joked about playing Justin Bieber at his funeral and

knocking from inside his coffin. His sisters, Jean and Gillian, were shocked by his death, recalling his excitement just weeks earlier.
