The main doctor said to him, if you do this show, that's it. You're not going to get through it. So he knew that if you went ahead with the show, you were probably killing. Yeah. I don't know how you feel, given how painful it's been to lose him. See, you started me off now. He didn't want to die on stage. He didn't. But he did it his way.

It was like I was in a dream. I was looking down on it all. My kids could see and feel how much they had. father was lost. It was just like overwhelmingly warm going back to your hometown where you're really loved. His Majesty sent me a letter the next day. King Charles. King Charles. He got Ozzy. They need to create new words for it, the feeling of loss. Grief is now become my friend. Ozzy Osbourne meant many things to many millions of people. He was a music legend, a cultural icon, a reality television pioneer.

For those who knew him best, he was something more important altogether. A loving father, a dearly cherished husband, without whom life will never be the same again. In the first interview since Ozzy passed away, Sharon Osborne joins me in the studio now. Sharon, it's great to see you. It's sad to see you. It's poignant to see you. It's everything at once. I haven't seen you since Ozzy died.

and I just can't really imagine you without Aussie. And all the time I've known you, with Sharon and Ozzy. How are you coping? Ish. Everything my life now is like, isish, it's okay, it's all right, I'm okay-ish, you know, that's it's it. That's it for now. Do you feel like an umbilical cord has been removed from it? because you were so intertwined for so long.

For so long, for so many years. And just it's really grief is now become my friend. That's it. See, you've started me off now. You're going to start me off. No, grief is a very weird thing. You know, when you love someone that much and you're grieving for them.

It's what I have to live with and I'll get used to it. I will. I have to. You know, things move on. I said this to people. I said it actually in the run-up to his last show, which was an amazing thing. I mean, the sequence of events was so classic Aussie in many ways.

But I said to people, you know, of all the people I've met in public life in my life, Ozzy Osbourne was the funniest. He was the funniest person. He was a deeply flawed individual in so many ways. It's so flawed. But he was a magical individual in so many ways. And he was just hilarious.

I mean, I first got to know you guys 20 years ago. America's Got Talent when you came on the show. And I first got to meet and know Ozzy. I'd meet you a few times before, but not properly. No. Really get to know you. And when we began to like work together for a few years We used to go out for dinner

And Ozzy would turn up somewhere in America Wherever we were doing a show And we'd have these dinners Or just a chat on the dressing He was just howlingly funny That's my lasting thing about Ozzy It's so authentic Yes

He never tried to be anything other than who he was Yeah Completely true to himself Yeah Yeah Let's talk about his last week because I actually had a text exchange with him. I think we've got it actually because it was poignant for me. I was talking about the last show and I wished him all the very best and I said,

Ozzy, I just want to wish you all the very best for your final show tomorrow. What an amazing moment it will be for you and so great that it will be back where it all started. You've had an incredible career, go out with a bang. kind regards peers and he replied thank you peers so much we're in Birmingham getting ready to do my final gig tomorrow

and that's that and when I read that later after he died it just felt so poignant to me that in a way perhaps subconsciously he hung in there for this grand finale

this great performer for this grand finale and maybe in the back of his mind he was thinking, I'm done. That's it. Did you feel that when you were with it? Very much so, because he'd been so ill this year, terribly, terribly ill. And when we came to England and we were meeting with new doctors here,

a new medical team for him, the main doctor said to him, if you do this show, that's it. You're not going to get through it. And we just sat there and he said, I'm doing it. I want to do it and I'm doing it. And he knew his body was failing him. He was in so much pain, so much pain. And I mean, you know, he had pneumonia three times this year.

He'd had sepsis. Did he? Yeah. And that's what really, really destroyed him. I mean, he was on these shots. of antibiotics. It used to take 20 minutes for the shot to go in and he had that twice a day.

And it kills everything in you, the good, the bad, everything. So much antibiotics and he just couldn't get over that. He just couldn't. How did he manage to get the strength for that final show? Because it was brilliant to watch. I mean, watching him in that throne, it was just, it was magic. And I couldn't have thought of a more brilliant way for Ozzy to bowed and live performing,

surrounded by his mates, his family in the wings, tens of thousands of fans who come from all over the world, a perfect show in many ways, and the bow and the throne, and how do you bowed? He just wanted it so bad to say thank you to everyone. And I think he honestly did know that he was he was done. It was his time.

So he knew that if you went ahead with the show, it were probably killing. Yeah. But he decided... I'm doing. What a way to go. Yeah. And in a way, I mean, it was, wasn't it?

Yeah. I mean, I don't know how you feel, given how painful it's been to lose him, but when you look back at that show, do you feel it was the perfect way out for us? He was so happy peers afterwards. And he kept looking at the papers and he goes to me, I never knew so many people like me.

But that was the way he was. I mean, he knew he was famous, but not to the amount that people loved him. It's a whole different thing. Yes. And he was just so happy, so, so happy. And for two weeks, he was, you know, really, like every day was sunshine for him.

him. Really? Really happy. Yeah. So happy. Happier than we'd seen him in seven years. Really? I love that. Yeah. Because it was an amazing outpouring of love. It was unbelievable. Around the world though. It was like an enormous thing. I remember posting a picture on Instagram about it before the show. And I was amazed by the reaction. It just blew up. And I suddenly realized, yeah, I sort of taken for granted me because I knew him so well, but I took for granted how big Ozzy was as a rock star, how famous he was. But I think you're right, I hadn't factored in how much people loved him. And they really, really loved him. And that day was like an outpouring of love for him, as it was when he died.

I mean, the scenes after he died were extraordinary. It was unbelievable. It was like when we drove into Birmingham, I mean, we were just like the whole family. We were just like, oh, look at this. He was just, again, people loved him. He made people happy. And people knew he was authentic. He wasn't pretending to be, you know, Mr. Big or, you know, I'm bigger than you.

He was genuinely happy for all his friends when his friends were successful. And he just was happy with his place in life. And he didn't want any more. He didn't want any less, but he was really, really happy at what he'd done in his life. Was he amazed he lasted as long as he did, given the wild excess he'd put his body through?

I mean, to live to, what was he, 76? 76. I mean, you could have got good odds in Vegas that Ozzy Oswald would not make it to 76. Absolutely, absolutely. And I, you know, I used to think to myself when we were going to, you know, You know, we went everywhere, Pierce, to try and get him fixed.

You know, it was like trick doctors that had different machines, and, you know, I would do anything in the hope that something could help, but nothing could. But he, I would say to him, you know, we're blessed. We are blessed to still be together at this point because of what you've done to your body. Me, what have I done? You know, like, what are you talking about? Yeah.

You know, oh, you only smoked like 50 cigarettes a day for, you know, 50 years. You know, drank the breweries dry. But he did it his way. And that's it. What were your last conversations with him like? He told me that he was having dreams the last week of his life. excuse me he was seeing people

that he never knew and they were I said well what kind of people 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 and he knew he was ready extraordinary and they were really vivid dreams Really, really vivid dreams. The night he, well, the night before he passed, he, oh, you know, up and down to the bathroom all night.

And it was like 4.30 and he said, wake up. It's already bloody awake. You woke me up. And he said, kiss me. And then he said, hug me tight. Was that the last? He used to get up early and he would say, I've got to. to go down and work out and he went downstairs, worked out for 20 minutes and passed away.

You just had a heart attack? Yeah. How did you find out? How did you know? Screaming in the house and I ran downstairs and there he was and they were trying to resuscitate him and I'm like, don't leave him, leave him. gone. He's gone. I knew instantly he's gone. And they tried and tried and then they took him by helicopter to the hospital and they tried and it's like he's gone, just leave him.

What were you thinking? Fear, regrets. Just I couldn't, I couldn't function. What were the regrets? I should have, could have, would have, if only I'd have told him I loved him more if only I'd have held him tighter. But you always told him you loved it. I did. You always hugged him tight. You had one of the great marriages I've ever seen in my life. It was turbulent.

It had his ups and downs. Everybody knows that. But it was a great marriage show. I mean, you knew each other from 1970. Yeah. I mean, incredible, if you think about that. 55 years he'd known since you were a teenager. Yeah.

And he's just never not been. that. Do you think when he the night before said hug me, do you think he knew that the end was very close? Yeah, he knew. He knew when he did the show that it was, you know, he, I think he didn't want to die on stage. He didn't.

But he knew that it was that close. He did. When he was hugging him that night before, what was he saying to him? Oh, he's just tuck me tight, but he was having, you know, when I go, do you think he'll ever get married? I'm like, fuck off, are you joking? Piss off. Questions like that, you know. Could you imagine ever marrying anybody else?

Never. Oh my God, no, never. Ever, ever, ever. No. No. In those two weeks, knowing that the show probably would take so much out of it, that it would bring an end to his life, did you get the chance to really say the things that you wanted to say?

Yes and no. I mean, I had the chance, but I didn't want to be a downer because he was on such a high. He was on such a high. Right. You wanted to celebrate him being alive. Yeah, yeah. And it was just so, it's such a joyous time for him in his life.

And I'm like, so good to see him laughing again. And, you know, it was just great. How important have your kids been to you? Oh, my God. Throughout this period. It's, um, I wouldn't, I wouldn't have gone through. I would have just gone with Ozzy. Would you?

Oh, yeah. Definitely. I've done everything I've ever wanted to do, you know. It's, but they've been, they've been, excuse me, unbelievably just magnificent with me, all three of them. They're the reason and their kids are the reason. My, you've got to hang in there. Oh, I, years ago when I had one of my mental breakdowns, I went into a little, facility to help with my head and I'd there were two girls of there who's they didn't know

each other but they were in there then each mother had committed suicide and I saw the state that these two young women were in and what it had done to their lives and I thought I will never ever ever do that to my kids but here we are and he wanted to do an interview with you. He goes, I never want to interview with anyone again unless I really like them. And I said, well, you can do that. He goes, I really want to talk to peers. I said, do you know what? I would have loved that. He used to send me random tech. I just reminded myself, looking at the one earlier, he sent me one, which I just loved it, because it was from him. I said, I just, peers, I just want to let you know. I think your show is the best show ever. I'm a

addicted to watching it, all I'm watching now, I love it, keep up the good work, much love and respect, Ozzy. And I was said, I'm so touched that you think this. He said it's the best show in town. And I just thought, you know, in last year, here, I've got one here, first of January. Hey, peers, here's to a happy new year. God bless you always. Just randomly. And I just, that was Ozzy to me. The randomness of his thoughts and communications and the stuff he'd do and the jokes he'd come out with and the way he lived his life. A lot of it was random. But underpinning it all, I always felt was his unbelievably ferocious love for you. And it may not have manifested itself always in the best way, but it was undeniable.

He just had this ferocious love for you, didn't he? I mean, it was like you were basically brought to... As I did. As I did for him. Yeah. You know, and we were like two odd balls. Yeah. Yes. That connected.

Yeah. Do you remember the first time you met him? Oh, yeah. Paint me the picture. My dad was a manager at the time. And Black Sabbaths were just breaking. There was this huge... You've got to remember that in the 70s,

the industry was so small. And every manager in town knew that they were managed by this local guy in Birmingham. and they were like prime to be stolen. And they were playing at the marquee, and my dad had a meeting with them the next day. So we went down to the marquee to see them, and it was like, jam-pat.

You couldn't move, and sweat was dripping down the walls. And when they came on, I was like, oh, my lord, what is that? What is that? Because I'd been used to seeing a slick American artist that looked and smelled brilliant and whatever and here are these four guys like, what the hell?

And the music, I'm like, and then halfway through, you've got it. You've got what they were all about. And so the next day they came into the office and I was the receptionist. And in those days, you had a... Yeah, the little... Yeah, with the plugging in. Hilarious.

And they came in, they sat down on the floor. I asked them if they wanted tea and whatever. And then they went in to see my dad. And afterwards he goes, oh, we've definitely got him. It's in the bag, it's in the bag. And my father's bodyguard and chauffeur collected them from their hotel, brought them to our office, and then took them back to their hotel.

And on the way back, they told him that they were terrified of my father. And he said, I know somebody that you should meet. And it was my father's day-to-day guy who did the day-to-day work in the office and the bodyguard. And then the next day, they were the man. managers. Really? Yeah.

Illarious. Yeah. Where I'm from, chips are called crisps and our chips are actually what Americans call French fries, but that's not really my biggest problem. Have you ever actually read the label on a bag of chips? It sounds like a science experiment, seed oils, MSG, artificial dyes, mystery ingredients which sound like diseases. It cannot be good for you.

When did you first think that you and Oz you might be having a little romantic fire? I was, I've moved to America and, you know, the band was so huge by then, by the time I'd moved. This is like 75, 76. And they were always in LA, recording, touring, whatever. And the guitar player, Tony and I would, one of those things, oh God, how are you, what's going on, clubs and bars,

you know, down the strip. Yeah, yeah. At the whiskey, the rainbow, all of those places. And he would say come to the show. And I would go down to the show and, you know, talk to him after the show. And I would always see Ozzy and he was like, just had the best smile in the world. That smile would be, it was hypnotizing.

And we would talk and he would make me laugh and I'd go home. And then it was in 79 that they decided to come back because my dad's chauffeur and his day-to-day guy had taken all their money. What they thought my father was, would do. Really?

They did. Wow. And so they were broke and they called me and said, can we come and see your dad? Can he help us out? And he did. Did it? And that was it? Yeah.

And was that the moment when you and Ozzy? Well, we were, I was working with them as a day-to-day person. And so he was just so funny and I used to love his company because it was always enough, you know. He was never one of these musicians that complains about everything and nothing's right and you know, it's all your fault and he was never like that. He was just fun the whole time. When was the moment he asked you on a date or whatever it was? That was in 1980.

We were in Shepperton Studios and he was rehearsing to go out on his first solo tour. And he was really excited. He saw his little stage set that was all his and he had his band there and it was again, you know, joyous. Everybody was on a high and the album was doing good. It had just been released and that was it. What? Well, we got together that night and then...

But how? After all these years of being in each other's orbit, how did it suddenly become a romantic thing? of the guys from our office was in the room. We were in Ozzy's bedroom. We were going over stuff. And then he goes to the guy, fuck off. Get out of here. Oh, God, okay.

I'll go, I'll go. And that was it. That was it. But I thought, oh, my God, he's married. He's got two kids. Yeah. What the fuck have I done? Because everybody knows.

You don't shit on your own doorstep. And then I thought the next day he's never going to talk to me. Because, you know, that's how it was, you know. He was like, was right at the moment, but today, you know. And I thought he's never going to talk to me. I've ruined it. I fucked it up. And he was so happy to see me the next day and I'm like, really? And that was it.

We were together from that day. How difficult was it early on because he was married, because he had kids? Very, very, very hard for him, very hard. And I'd never had kids and I wasn't from a family where there were a lot of kids and I didn't really have friends with kids. They were all young. They weren't, you know, even married by mates. So I was really like had no idea what it was that he was going through.

And then it's not until you have your own kids that you realize how this must have destroyed him. And it really did. It really, really did. He went through some wild periods in that time. He was a big party guy. We know all that. How hard was that? That Aussie was very different to the Aussie towards the end of his life.

So how hard was it to do? deal with him? See, I'd seen people, not people like that, but I'd seen my whole life was surrounded by alcoholics and addicts and whatever. It was, that was it, you know, the 70s. And he was, it didn't face me. It honestly didn't face me at all. Because I always say, when people say, how did Sharon, I said, how did Ozzie cope with

Sarah? Exactly. Exactly. It's like when people would say, oh my God, it gets very violent. And I'm like, yeah, it's only by dad. You know, I'm so used to it. I was so used to extreme behavior that it just is like, okay. Did that make it easier just generally when Ozzie would fall off the rails, be it with booze or whatever or women or whatever?

Did it make it easier to know that you'd been around a lot of mercurial people? especially performers, they get hooked on adrenaline, life in the fast lane, the party stuff, the image, the brand, being a rock star. Is it easier to navigate when you know what you've got? Oh yeah, yeah. And you've got to realize that I know it's a whole thing with a lot of women, you know, if you go with somebody else, that's it, it's over. it's over and we're all so different, but it didn't phase me. Not until it was, you know, a couple of times, it was like, I don't like the fact you bought them to my house. And it is my fucking house.

I would go to him. I furnished it. That would, that I didn't like. But it never fazed me because I know what he's like and it means nothing. Yeah. It means nothing. I think that's undeniable. What meant everything to him in the world was you and the kids and the family and life.

Yeah. When we talked earlier about the outpouring of love for him after he died, with those scenes in Birmingham, I mean, I've not really seen anything like that since Princess Diana died. It was on such an enormous level. Back at the city where it all began for him, back with his own people, You looked at the time to be completely crushed by the enormity of losing him. My heart just broke for you, seeing the pictures.

But how uplifting was it at the same time to feel those fans of the scale of it and the volume of people? It was important. I knew how much people loved him to a point. But this was going back to your hometown where... you're really loved. Yeah. And it was just, it was like I was in a dream. I was just kind of like up here looking down on it all.

It was comforting. I loved it because my kids could see and feel how much their father was loved. Yeah. And is. How many messages did you get in total of any kind, do you think? If you were to get... With everything that came through,

because the city was so brilliant, every flower that was left at the bench, they brought me, everything, every note, every condolence book. It's got to be over 100,000. Amazing. From what they got, and then from what we got in Los Angeles and here.

here that were sent to the house. I mean, it was just like overwhelmingly warm. And it was like, for me, you got him. You got him. You knew what he was like. You said in your podcast that you do with your kids that Donald Trump sent you a message, a voicemail. I think we've got a copy of that.

And he wrote me too. And he just so, and the kid. Let's see if we've got the, This isn't to it, yeah. I wanted to wish you the best and the family. Grateful. Ozzy was amazing. He was an amazing guy.

I met him a few times, and I want to tell you, he was unique in every way and talented. So I just wanted to wish you the best, and it's a tough thing. I know how close you were, and whatever I can do. Take care of yourself.

Say hello to the family. Thanks, bye. He didn't have to call and leave a voicemail. And he wrote to you as well. Yeah, he did. Because you've known Trump a long time, as obviously I have too. You've worked with him a bit, actually, over the years. Yeah.

What do they mean to you that the President of the United States took the trouble to do that? Just so much, so, so much, you've got no idea. And then when I actually, His Majesty, sent me a letter the next day. King Charles. King Charles hadn't delivered it. Really? What was it is to say? Just how sorry he was. He knew Ozzy. He knew we've met him several times and he's always been so gracious with Ozzy

and they would always laugh together and just, you know, he got Ozzy. What would young Ozzy in his teens have thought if one day when he died, the President of the United States and the King of the United Kingdom would go out? out of their way to send messages. And the Mexican parliament stood up and gave him applause and just, I mean, it was just worldwide. And it was just, makes you feel good, makes you feel good that they loved the person you loved. And they saw good in him. Because, you know, people's perception is not reality.

And, you know, there are still some snooty English people that go, oh, that dreadful man, you know. You're like, mm-mm. Just, you know, when you look at King Charles and you look at Donald Trump, whatever anybody might think about them, it's their business, but their days, you know how full their days are. I mean insanity.

And that they had the time and the graciousness to do that for Ozzy. Who else meant a lot to you in the way they reached out to you? Oh my God, his peers, all his peers. Just amazing. Just amazing. Yeah, the rock musicians. Yeah. Because they felt like they'd lost one of their great iconic figures.

I mean, I saw the tributes from all of them. They really did have Ozzy up on a pedestal with very few people. I mean, he's on the Mount Rushmore of rock frontmen, really, I think indisputedly. Because when he came along, he kind of just reimbled. invented the wheel, very few rock singers ever do. He, it's, they just saw the good in him, and they saw his individuality, and they were drawn to that.

It was unique. There was never been anybody like Ozzy, so complexed, but yet so sociable, and, but he, you know, he was a really complex person. He was, but I also, But I also, like behind the scenes, like if I went to your house and we just were hanging out and stuff, there was a real, like, warmth to Aussie. He's just a warm guy. He wanted you to have a good time.

He'd have, you know, he'd be very solicitous, ask about your own family, ask everyone else. And he kind of had a wonderful kind of slightly bemused air about life and just all the crap going on. You just imagine him throwing himself up and watching the news and exasperated by all this. crazy stuff but there was a real warmth that underpinned on Ozzi I felt always always he was I mean he is the epitome of somebody that just doesn't care what you are what religion you are what you know where you come from in the world he would just be open and if you're you know he's nice and he expects that back and then if you didn't, he'd be, oh, see you. What would he have made of Roger Waters,

who reacted to Ozzy's death in an interview with the Independent? Ozzy Osbourne, who just died and said, bless him in his whatever state that he was in his whole life, will never know. Although he's all over the TV for hundreds of years with his idiocy and nonsense. The music, I have no idea. I couldn't give a fuck.

I don't care about Black Sabbath. did I have no interest in Biden the heads of chickens whatever they do I couldn't care less I mean part of me thinks Ozzie would find that hilarious and think Roger Waters you are a prick which by the way he sat in that very chair oh god he sat there may not be in the exact chair but he sat and he was an unbelievable prick to interview so all for him to take the high moral ground with anyone but what do you feel when you hear things like that from you know from one of the big big rock stars of the country. Yeah.

But not legendary, not liked. Has been today. You know, that's the way it is. He was great, but his greatness didn't last. He couldn't do any great music on his own. He has been. And very bitter. I mean, he was very bitter when he was with me.

Oh my God, he's crazy though. He's definitely, definitely not wired right. Five-wired. wives later and, you know, hates everybody that's successful. And he's stomping around in his, you know, pathetic homemade Nazi outfit. And, you know, he's just, he's nuts. I was going to send him one of my Tiffany boxes, but I will save it. For those who are not O'Shea with your Tiffany boxes,

would you like to explain what they used to contain? Oh, dear. Well, I used to save it for the press, actually, because the rock press usually at, say, a festival, you know the rock press, they'd be pissed up at the bar, and then they would go home and write a review of the show, and they never watched any of it. And there was this one guy that reviewed Ozzy at some festival and said, you know, his blonde hair blowing in the wind and gave this. worst review ever. And I just sent him a Tiffany box, which everybody loves, and it was full of Jack's poo from his diaper.

And it's like if you're going to write a review, if you've seen it, God bless you, you're entitled to your opinion. But Ozzy never had blonde hair then at that point. So it's like you just... So the guy I hadn't watched it. I hadn't watched it, pissed in a bar, and then I began doing it to other people I disliked.

But even that is a waste to send shit to him. You know, it's a waste because he's really insignificant. But I just thought, with anybody that passes that has a family, you don't do that. Anybody else let you down in the way they're reacting? No. He seemed to me a bit of an outlier. I didn't see anything else. Nothing.

Nothing. I mean, the guy is, I thought it was about me because he hates Jews and I'm half a Jew. And it's like, so he hates me because my dad was Jewish. Well, my mother was a fucking Roman Catholic. Who gives a fuck? Right? But I think it was me. Yeah, but he was, he was one of those musicians. There are very few musicians that come from money. you can name them and he was well educated middle class you know and they

he's just always been a bit ponzi you know don't you know who I am oh fuck off you fucking has been God is good to have Sarah back on your back on all firing cylinders

but you know what the other guys David yeah David Gilmore yeah Totally different. I mean, all those guys. They've all fallen out with him too. Oh, yeah, no wonder they fucking aimed him out.

Yeah, yeah. No, they've got no time for him. It's been five months now. Tell me what your life is like now. I mean, you're at the house here. You still got the place in L.A., which is a beautiful house. It's like a museum to your life with Ozzy, in a way. You know, it's the most beautifully decorated, as all your homes are.

All was decorated and so beautifully. but it's got so many things which are uniquely you and Ozzy. Have you thought about what you'll do, where you're going to live? I mean your kids and grandkids live mainly in America. Yeah. What are you going to do? Have you worked it out yet? No.

No. And it's like I, you know, each day I go, what am I going to do with myself? What the fuck am I going to do? You know, all I've been doing is going through Oz's diary and, you know, he kept a journal every day. Really? Yeah. Oh, my God.

You're going to publish it? Some, maybe. Did he want it out as a book? He never, he's done, I've got over 2,000 drawings. By Aussie? Yeah. Because he was incredibly artistic and creative. I saw some of them, who were amazingly talented guy.

Yeah. So many different ways. God, the Aussie Osbourne Diaries. I'm already salivating. How long had he kept it for? Oh, wow. He went into rehab. What year was it, 84,

and that's where he got. They told him every day you journal, journal. And he kept it out. He journaled. Went back to drinking, but he... That's nearly 40 years. Yeah. 40 years of Ozzy Oswald Diaries.

Yeah. That would be incredible. Was he very honest in them? Very. Very. Really? Yeah, and I'd never, ever read them. And have you been reading them now?

Yeah. What's it like? Sad. Is it? Yeah. Why? Because he would put himself down a lot in his journaling. And, yeah.

Have you read things which surprised you about what he was saying about you? No. He would be pretty honest with, eventually he would be pretty honest. about situations and the way he acted or whatever. And, no, but he, that's sad. Very sad. And happy as well? Yeah, yeah, of course.

So there's a lot of us. He was always so appreciative of everything with his fans. He was so appreciative of everything.

to bury him under a crabapple tree on the family estate, where you are at the moment, and you agreed. It was to be a place where they could remember him. He wrote in his 2010 autobiography, I am Ozzy, that he wanted to be buried there, so the kids can make wine out of me and get pissed out of their heads. And I think he is buried by the crabapple trip. He is.

Have you made any Aussie wine yet? No. Do you think you will? Probably not. Probably not. But, yeah, he's buried under the tree. Do you go down there all the time? All the time.

Every day. Oh, yeah. Every day. Do you talk to him? And the kids do exactly the same as his son, Lewis and, you know, as his grandson, Elijah. Everybody goes down there and has a chat with him. Yeah. Do you find that comforting?

So comforting. So comforting. You feel him there, his presence. Oh, God, yeah. And they, you know, I still haven't, I burn several candles in the house that have always replaced. It's never without candles by his pictures and just, yeah, he's in the house. What would he want you to do with your life, do you think? He'd want to be missed.

He is so terribly. I mean, it's not even missed. It's an ache that you wake up with and you can't get rid of that. It's like a big hole inside of you and the kids feel exactly the same way and it's just What do you do it's inevitable that it happens to all of us It would have been a 77th birthday On the third of December so just this last week. Yeah, what did you do on that day? I went to Birmingham The mayor had another award for Ozzie and I took the award and I took the award and

I went to see his exhibition at the museum. And we walked around there. We went to the bench and I laid flowers. And then we went for an Indian meal, which Ozzy would want us to do. And so I saw Ozzy's sisters and his brother and his nephew and Louis. And we were all together. He never, I never really noticed an accent with Ozzy, despite all the time he was in America. He basically was a brummy.

from the day he was born to the day he died. Oh my God, yes. So much so. And he was proud of it. You know, he's a working class guy and he had that working class mentality. When he couldn't work for the last seven years, I mean, he made two albums, but touring,

he would say this just doesn't like, I have to keep working, I can't not work, I have to keep working. And I'm like, why? He goes, because that's what I do. You know, I can't just sit here. Do you feel that the same for yourself? Yeah.

You've always worked all the time I've known. Since I was 15, I've worked. So it's like this is what we do. What do you miss most about him, Sherry? His hand. He's holding his head. Yeah. Yeah.

It's, you can't put it into words. They need to create new words for it, the feeling of loss. You know, and the love of your life and you go into that room at night to sleep. But I never sleep. I keep looking at my phone as he texts me, you know, it's just hard. But it will be hard. And I know I will always feel the same.

When you love so deep, it never goes away. They say that you just get used to it. And that's why I say grief is my friend. I think, I mean, I've been with people who've been through extreme grief at various stages of age and life. And the old thing of time is, time is definitely a healer. Things get less sharply horrible. But I don't think you ever get over it.

It's like, I don't think you'll ever, you're not going to get over Ozzy, right? I won't get over him and I wasn't married to him in a sense that every time I hear his music or that's the thing. He's not like he's some guy we never knew. Everywhere you go, you must occasion up comes his music on the radio or you see a picture or something. There'll be a story in the papers about something that triggers the memory. I mean, that's the other thing when you're married to an iconic figure like Ozzy Osbourne.

There are constant public memories which will come to you. He's everywhere. He's everywhere. Does that help you, or does it make it more difficult? No, it... Just... I look at pictures of him all day in my house. There's things he brought back from every country in the world

and different things he bought at different times. I've never seen so many artifacts from around the world in houses in my life than what you have in your... They're like, they're like global museums. It's incredible. When you take it for granted, but when you walk into an Osborne home, it is dazzling the stuff you amassed.

Yeah, and it's like, you know, things. And I, he's everywhere, everywhere in the house. You're going to have your first Christmas without him. Yeah. Do you have a plan? You're all going to be together? I'm going to spend it with Kelly and my grandparents. grandson and Kelly's partner.

Here in England. In England and then on 27th I go to L.A. and I'll have it with Jack and the girls. Have you spoken to Jack since he came out of the... Yeah. The I'm a Celebrity Jungle? Yeah. Yeah. He did great.

He came over with Jack. I mean, he's a great character. He, you know, all of that about living outside and loving nature is all from Ozzy. when he was this big, Ozzy and him would be outside in the garden and a tent. Oh, we're going to be here for the week, you know. And he just, all of that is from Ozzy. I mean, you're all natural reality TV stars.

Ever since you did the Osborne show, you were a family born to do this. Because you're all such peculiar characters, all of you. What is that? Where does that come from? I think it just people with very strong personality all of us and it just just works

I remember I was I was talking on Fox in America the week after Ozzy died and I suddenly remembered a story I said if you want to know I mean one of the funniest times ever we were doing America's Got Talent I think there was somewhere like Dallas or Miami

some of that and we had dinner and Kelly came with her then-boyfriend. And after about half an hour of the five of us having dinner, she suddenly said, we're just fucking bored with this. You went, bored? He said, fucking bored, we're leaving. And they got up and left.

And you and Ozzie were like, bored of us? Bored! And then they went around, and we hadn't seen it. They walked around outside. It was snowing. And the next thing, they tapped on the window. And they both dropped their trousers and did a mooney. Do you remember this?

through the French windows. And you and Ozzy, from a moment, you were outraged. That's disgusting. And then I had to remind you, you're Ozzie and Sharon Osbourne. This is the natural consequence of your union. And it was, it was hilarious. And then you both fell about laughing.

And I remember we had such a funny time after that and that dinner. We did. Just laughing. Laughing, laughing, laughing. My time with Ozzy, 90% laughing. You know, I loved his music. I loved everything about that side of him. But when I think about him, I just think about him making me laugh.

Or laughing as something we'd said, or whatever it was. He was a man who loved to laugh. God, did he ever? And he had the best laugh. He did. It was so infectious. Wasn't he? It was hilarious.

Yeah. Yeah. No matter. And, you know, it's like when people go, oh, I didn't like his music. But he was more than that. you know, his personality, he was a trailblazer, you know. You know, I was thinking of the legacy, if you like, the bloodline, because Kelly had posted something online on Instagram,

and then she got attacked. This has all happened in the last like 24 hours. She got attacked by people for the way she looked. They thought she was too skinny and this and this. And like a classic Osborne. She went straight on the attack. Let's take a look. No, what did you?

I don't even know how to say this. So I'm just going to say it. To the people who keep thinking that they're being funny and mean by writing comments like, are you ill? Or get off Ozambic or you don't look right. My dad just died. And I'm doing the best that I can. And the only thing I have to live for right now is my family.

And I choose to share my content with you and share the happy side of my life, not the miserable side of my life. So to all those people, fuck off. That is an unborn. Yeah. What do you feel like when you hear that? I just, it's just, she's right. You know, she's right.

And if she's happy that she can't eat, well, she's not happy because she's lost her daddy, but she can't eat right now. She doesn't. What do you think about people who just troll Kelly or whoever it may be who's going through, obviously unbearable grief? Cardi loses weight and then has to put up with that because of social media.

You know, 25 years ago, that wouldn't be, it wouldn't be possible. But now it's, you know, you've had it yourself, right, in the last few years? Yeah, all the time. It's like, it's, you know, It's a shield for people that are unhappy. It's a shield.

And jealousy and people's perception of somebody else. How many times have we been wrong about somebody, you know, because of our perception, you know, and we haven't even met them. And we go, our soul, whatever, and they actually turn out to be great people. We do it. But you and I don't take the point where we spend a social. wasting a second of our lives in writing something about them. You know, going on their site, taking the time, writing. It's like, that's a lot of effort goes into that.

And I just feel sorry for people. You know, they're something wrong with their lights. They're not happy.

What are you going to do with yourself work-wise? Because I can't imagine you're not working. You're a brilliant performer yourself. Do you have a plan? Do you have something you want to do? The thing that I'm doing now is working on Ozzie's movie. We have a deal and we're looking for people to work on the movie now and that's my main thing.

Do you have an idea of who you want to plan? Yes. Can you share it? Not yet. Case they're watching. Can help it get over the line? Yeah. But is this someone that you feel could capture the real Aussie?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I just... Youngblood? Well, no denial. I'm not saying, I'm not. It's... That's my main thing right now, it's doing that, and then, you know, just...

I don't know? Things happen, don't they? You open a door and suddenly your life has changed and there might be something in the future, I don't know. But I know I'm not... I can't just sit at home and... No.

sit in my garden all day. No, you can't. You can't. I have a lot of ideas for you, Char. We've worked together a lot over the years and I have a lot of ideas. I think you're showing science to me that you've beginning

to get your strength back after what has been probably an utterly horrific five months. You know, I lost after Ozzy five days later, one of my oldest dogs died and then Elvis died two weeks after. was it? It's just unbelievable.

But it teaches you don't waste any time. People waste so much of their time. And energy. Stuff that just doesn't matter. I've lost a couple of really good friends in the last year. Young, you know, 57, 58, 61, old village mates who just, you know, one got an awful brain cancer, one dropped dead on

on a golf course, a very different ways to die, but they were so young comparatively. And you just think, you do, it's an old cliche, you get one go at this. And when I think about Ozzy, I think my God, he packed it in. I mean, talk about not dying with regrets. I mean, that's why I loved,

and we started like this, and I'd like to end it, because I just feel the end of Ozzie's life, if he could have scripted it, and could have chosen the way he would like to bow out. it would surely be with that concert on the throne, with his mates, his family, his people in front of him, his real diehard fans, and then to have two weeks of feeling great,

and to have that last hug with you, and then to, I mean, the irony of Ozzie dying, going to the gym, would have amused him. And that's it. I told him it was bad for him. Why, it's put so much effort into it. It's bad. I can imagine him now saying,

Sharon, I told you the gym would kill me. It wouldn't be the booze. It wouldn't be the drugs. It'd be the bloody gym. I'll miss him a lot, Ozzy. I already do. And I can't even imagine the level that you miss him. He had so much respect for you, Peter.

Well, we just had a great, I think we were very unlikely mates, actually, because we came from very different backgrounds. But I just immediately felt an offendingcy with Ozzy. I mean, you remember the first time we had dinner with America's Got Talent? And it was Ozzy that got us back talking. When I said something that annoyed you, you went berserk, got up, tried to throttle me, got pulled off. By... By Jerry Springer.

Jerry Springer, it was the host of the show, pulled you off. And the NBC execs were like, what the is happening here? And you stormed off And then all I remember is I went to bed And about two in the morning I get a phone call And it was you So, Ozzy says I should call you and say sorry

And he was right What was funny, I remember we went into first day filming The next day And of course the NBC executives were like Well this is complete catastrophe The two judges Basically one's just tried to kill the other one These Brits are crazy

And then we walked in like nothing in that happened And actually, we got on like an absolute house on fire. But Aussie, hilariously, was the peacemaker. Yeah. He was the one that solved the problem. He's just... Who would have thought? He was a magical guy.

Sharon, thank you for giving me this interview and for sharing so many lovely stories. He meant a lot to me, a lot to so many millions of people. And, you know, my brother, my army brother is a massive Black Sabbath fan, an Aussie fan. I mean, just a complete mental fan and was distraught by it all, but then also felt like the final show was the perfect way. Do you know that the King's Guard played paranoid? Yes. Wasn't it brilliant?

But Buckingham Palace, wasn't it? It was amazing for you. Loved it. Because that was magical. It was. Ozi would have loved that because he loved the Royals. Oh God, did he ever? He adored. Yeah. King Charles just adored him. What could be better? Nothing. What a way to seal that wonderful life of your amazing husband.

Yeah. Sharon, it's lovely to see you. Missed you, Pete. Come back soon. I will. Let's do some fun stuff. Yes. Let's just invoke the spirit of Ozzy and do some fun stuff.
