Sharon Osbourne Shares Heartfelt Valentine's Day Tribute to Late Husband Ozzy
Sharon Osbourne has marked her first Valentine's Day without her beloved husband, Birmingham music legend Ozzy Osbourne, with an emotional social media post. The former America's Got Talent judge lost the iconic Black Sabbath frontman on July 22 last year when he passed away at age 76.
Emotional Instagram Post Captures Enduring Love
On Saturday, February 14, Sharon posted a poignant photograph to Instagram showing her holding Ozzy's hand, accompanied by the simple yet powerful caption: "Forever Valentine." The image quickly garnered thousands of responses from fans offering support and sharing their own memories of the couple's legendary relationship.
One supporter commented: "What a beautiful and unique love you two shared. It will never be replicated. Sending so much love to you this Valentine's." Another wrote: "You two are the perfect example of true love. Bless you and yours." A third fan added: "Beautiful. Your love will be forever. He is with you always."
Final Moments and Last Words Revealed
In a recent interview with broadcaster Piers Morgan on his Uncensored YouTube show, Sharon, now 73, recalled her final evening with the Prince of Darkness. She shared intimate details about Ozzy's last hours, revealing that he woke her at 4:30 AM saying, "Wake up." When she responded that she was already awake, he asked for a kiss and said, "Hug me tight."
Sharon expressed lingering regrets about those final moments, saying: "I can't help wondering if I should have, could I have? If only I'd have told him I loved him more. If only I'd have held him tighter." After their brief interaction, Ozzy went downstairs, worked out for twenty minutes, and suffered a fatal heart attack.
Medical Details and Funeral Arrangements
According to Ozzy's official death certificate, the rock legend passed away from cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease and Parkinson's disease with autonomic dysfunction at the couple's Buckinghamshire home. Sharon immediately knew her husband had died when she found him, telling medical responders: "Don't - just leave him. Leave him. You can't. He's gone."
The funeral procession for the Birmingham-born musician took place on July 30 through his hometown streets, followed by a private funeral at the Osbourne family estate the next day. Ozzy was laid to rest beside a lake on the property, creating a permanent memorial to the rock icon.
Family Support and Moving Forward
Sharon has credited their three children - Aimee Osbourne, 42, Kelly Osbourne, 41, and Jack Osbourne, 40 - with helping her through the devastating loss. She admitted that without their support, she "would have just gone with Ozzy." The television personality has also stated emphatically that she will "never, ever" remarry, emphasizing the unique bond she shared with her husband of over four decades.
The couple married in 1982 and became one of music's most recognizable partnerships, weathering numerous personal and professional challenges while maintaining their deep connection. Sharon's Valentine's Day tribute serves as a powerful testament to a love that continues beyond loss, honoring the memory of one of Birmingham's most famous musical exports.
