Sharon Osbourne Reveals Ozzy's Final Words: "Hold Me, Hold Me Tight"

Sharon Osbourne is sharing the most personal chapter of her life with the world. In a new BBC interview, she described the final night she spent with Ozzy at their home in Buckinghamshire before his death at 76 in July 2025. He woke her in the middle of the night, asked her to kiss him twice, and said,“Hold me, hold me tight.”She held him until she fell back asleep. The next morning she was woken early and ran downstairs, but by then he was gone.

More than a year later, the grief is still heavy. Sharon says she visits Ozzy’s grave every day. She chose to bury him in the family garden deliberately, so he could rest in peace, away from public attention. His death certificate listed cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease, and Parkinson’s disease. His final performance with Black Sabbath had taken place just weeks earlier in Birmingham on July 5, 2025.

Ozzy and Sharon were one of rock’s most iconic couples, and this story strips away the fame and shows the simple devotion underneath.“You never get over it,”she told the BBC.“But you learn to live with it, and that’s what I’m trying to do.”The last moments of a legend, told by the person who loved him most. How do you keep the memory of someone you’ve lost close to you?
