Jack Osbourne Opens Up: Sharon's Heartbreaking Journey After Ozzy's Passing
SHOCKING UPDATE ON SHARON AND OZZY OSBOURNE'S DEVASTATING LOSS
In a heart-wrenching update, Jack Osbourne revealed that his mother Sharon is still reeling from the loss of her beloved husband Ozzy just two weeks after he rocked out for the last time on stage with Black Sabbath. The 72-year-old former X Factor judge was seen thanking fans on social media for their overwhelming love and support, but sources close to the family say she's "not okay" and is still trying to come to terms with her loss.
Ozzy, the Prince of Darkness himself, passed away on July 22 at his Buckinghamshire home due to heart failure, a heartbreaking end to a life marked by addiction, health struggles, and rock 'n' roll excess. The music legend had been battling Parkinson's disease for years and had suffered a series of painful operations in the months leading up to his death.
In an emotional interview on Good Morning America, Jack revealed that he gave Ozzy a heartfelt hug before his final farewell concert at Villa Park in Birmingham, telling him "Crush it! You're going to do so good." The younger Osbourne brother was overcome with emotion as he watched his father perform one last time, knowing it would be the last chance for fans to see the iconic musician live.
But behind the scenes, the family was dealing with a heartbreaking reality. Kelly and Aimee Osbourne have spoken candidly about their mother's pain in the new BBC One documentary Sharon & Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home, which charts the couple's life together after Ozzy returned to the UK from the US.
"We were all crying," Jack said of his father's final performance. "It wasn't because we were sad for him. It was because we knew it was the last time. In hindsight, it kind of was a living wake if you think about it. He got to say goodbye to everyone."
The documentary also sheds light on Sharon's struggles as Ozzy's carer in his final years. Kelly revealed that watching her mother care for her father through some of the toughest times of their lives has been "the most heartbreaking part" of this whole experience.
"It's hard on everyone, and you feel like you put a clown's face on and say everything is gonna be great," Sharon was seen crying in an interview. "And it's not."
As Ozzy battled with pain and health issues, the family rallied around him, including Aimee who spoke about her father's struggles in the documentary.
"The way I feel now it'll be a miracle if I make it," Ozzy said just months before his death, revealing the extent of his suffering. "My back is in a pretty bad state and I am in a lot of pain."
Sharon has been carrying on through the love and support of their fans, but sources close to the family say she's still finding her footing after losing her partner of 43 years.
The documentary also delves into Ozzy's final days, including his long battle with Parkinson's disease. His death certificate, obtained by The New York Times, confirmed that he died from heart failure and coronary artery disease, in addition to suffering from Parkinson's.
As the family continues to grieve, they're opening up about their pain in a bid to raise awareness for those affected by Parkinson's. Sharon & Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home is available to stream on BBC iPlayer, offering a poignant look at one of rock 'n' roll's most iconic couples.
