โEvery Morning, Sharon Osbourne Opens Her Phone To Read Ozzy’s Last Text Message โ And The Words Made The Whole World Cry ๐ฅ๐โ
Itโs the quiet moments that hurt the most.
Since Ozzy Osbourneโs passing, Sharon Osbourne has kept a ritual that has both broken and comforted her in equal measure. Every morning, before she speaks to anyone, before she brushes her hair or reaches for her tea, she unlocks her phoneโฆ and opens one final message. Ozzyโs last text.
The world knew them as rock royalty โ the Prince of Darkness and his fierce, fiery queen. But behind the scenes, theirs was a love of ordinary routines, whispered jokes, and endless devotion. And that devotion now lives on in a digital footprint โ a text message Sharon says sheโll never delete.
The message is short.
Simple.
But it contains a lifetime of love.
โDonโt forget to feed the dogs. And yourself. I love you, my girl.โ
Ozzy sent it from his hospital bed in the early hours of the morning, just hours before he slipped into unconsciousness. Sharon hadnโt seen it until later that afternoon. By then, the machines were silent, the monitors still. He was gone โ but his words remained.
In interviews following his death, Sharon spoke of how that final message has become her anchor.
โI read it every morning. Itโs how I start my day. It reminds me to take care of thingsโฆ and that heโs still watching over me in his own way,โ she said, her voice breaking.
What makes the message so powerful isnโt just the content โ itโs what it says between the lines.
Ozzy, who had battled so much โ addiction, Parkinsonโs, chronic pain โ wasnโt thinking about himself. He was thinking about her. About the dogs. About making sure the woman who had stood by him through everything would carry on, fed, loved, and not alone.
Fans across the globe were moved to tears when Sharon shared a screenshot of the message on her social media. It wasnโt staged. No filters. Just raw honesty and a glimpse into a love story that spanned decades of chaos, tenderness, and defiance against the odds.
The photo has since gone viral โ shared by millions, reposted by celebrities, and even printed out by fans who say it helps them through their own grief. One person commented, โI lost my husband last year. This message? It felt like he was speaking to me too.โ
Ozzyโs text โ ordinary on the surface โ became something extraordinary. A universal echo of love that endures, even after death.
What many people donโt know is that Ozzy was never a fan of texting. He preferred calls, voice notes, or gruff grumbles in person. Sharon said the message was rare โ and that made it even more meaningful.
โHe never sent me long messages,โ she laughed softly. โThis one, thoughโฆ it was like his soul knew. Like he wanted to say something that would stay with me.โ
And stay, it has.
Each morning, Sharon sits in her kitchen, dogs at her feet, reading Ozzyโs words again as if for the first time. Sometimes she cries. Sometimes she smiles. But every time, she feels him beside her.
โI know people talk about closure,โ she said. โBut I donโt want closure. I want connection. And this messageโฆ this is my thread to him.โ
In the weeks following Ozzyโs passing, fans held vigils. Musicians paid tribute. Murals appeared overnight on the streets of London, Los Angeles, and even small towns. But for Sharon, the greatest tribute is something quieter: carrying on with the same fierce love that Ozzy gave her.
โI feed the dogs. I feed myself. And I keep going. Because he asked me to.โ
The Osbourne family has been open about their grief. Kelly, Jack, and Aimee have all spoken publicly about their fatherโs legacy โ not just as a musician, but as a father, a fighter, and a man who, at the end of it all, loved deeply.
But Sharonโs ritual โ the morning text โ is perhaps the most intimate reminder of who Ozzy really was beneath the legend.
He wasnโt just the wild man of rock. He was a husband who remembered breakfast routines. Who worried about his wifeโs appetite. Who loved until his final breath.
And so each day, as the sun rises, a woman once part of one of the most outrageous couples in music history sits quietly, phone in hand, reading words that have now become scripture in her heart.
โDonโt forget to feed the dogs. And yourself. I love you, my girl.โ
The message that made the world cry.
The message that proves love never dies.
