“He howled for decades. But for me, he always sang.”

The world knew him as the Prince of Darkness. But in the quiet of their bedroom, with the machines turned low and the curtains pulled back just enough for the morning sun to kiss his face, Ozzy Osbourne took his final breath — his wife Sharon holding his hand.

A Love That Survived Fire and Fame

They married in 1982. They weathered infidelity, addiction, near-death — and still, they stayed. Sharon once said:

“He tried to leave this world more times than I can count. But he always came back to me.”

In his final hours, as doctors monitored quietly and family stood in a respectful hush, Ozzy turned his head toward Sharon. With a voice nearly gone, he said:

“You kept me from floating away. I screamed into the dark, and you held the light.”

The Last Night

Sharon slept beside him that final night — not on the hospital couch, but curled beside him in the bed. A nurse later said she heard Sharon humming softly: a lullaby Ozzy once sang to Kelly.

The next morning, he slipped away.

And Sharon simply said,

“Rest now, my love. The crowd is quiet.”
