Ozzy Osbourne died on July 22 at the age of 76 just two weeks after performing his last ever gig with his heavy metal band Black Sabbath in his beloved Birmingham
Ozzy Osbourne‘s widow Sharon has revealed the telling sign which meant Ozzy ‘knew he was ready’ to die.
Speaking in a new interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored, former X Factor judge Sharon, opened up about the last few days of husband Ozzy’s life and revealed he knew he was ‘ready’ to go.
She said: “He had told me that he was having dreams in the last week of his life. He was seeing people that he never knew. 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.”

Sadly Ozzy died on July 22, 2025 at the age of 76 just two weeks after he performed with his band Black Sabbath for the final time in a homecoming gig in his beloved Birmingham on July 6.
It has since emerged that doctors warned Ozzy that if he took to the stage again his body wouldn’t withstand it. But he was determined to perform with his band one last time and did it anyway.
Sharon revealed: “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’. But we just sat there, and he said, ‘I’m doing it. I want to do it, and I’m doing it’.”
Piers clarified: “So he knew that if he went ahead with the show, it would probably kill him. I don’t know how you feel given how painful it has been to lose him.” Breaking down in tears, Sharon said: “The main doctor said to him that if he did the show, ‘that’s it, you’re not gonna get through it. … He didn’t want to die on stage, he didn’t.”
Detailing his health issues, Sharon – who married Ozzy in 1982 – continued: “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.
“That’s what really, really destroyed him. 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.”
In the same interview, Sharon heartbreakingly revealed that she considered “going with Ozzy”, her husband of 43 years – and may have ended it all had it not been for their children Aimee, 42, Kelly, 41, and 40-year-old Jack – who is about to become a father again for the fifth time. While Kelly has a three-year-old son called Sidney with Slip Knot star Sid Wilson, who proposed to Kelly in front of Ozzy at his farewell gig.
Jack was also proudly able to share his baby news with his late father before he died. It’s his second child with second wife Aree Gearhart. The couple already share three-year-old daughter Maple. He also has three children from his previous marriage to Lisa Stelly – Pearl, 13, Andy, 10, and seven-year-old Minnie.
In a recent interview following his exit from I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here, Jack said: “It’s awesome. We’re super-excited. It was sort of planned, I should say. It was maybe a little earlier than expected. But it’s definitely something that we were wanting to pursue and somehow it happened, miraculously.”
“I think it’s been partly a healthy distraction, partly healing — probably in that kind of ‘full cycle’ category, in a weird way. It’s very much taken energy out of the grieving side of things and parked in a bit more hopefulness,” he told The Sun on Sunday.
