In a shocking turn of events, the music world was left reeling as news broke that rock legend Ozzy Osbourne had passed away at the ripe age of 76. The husband of Sharon Osbourne, one of the most iconic and fiery women in the industry, Ozzy's death has sent shockwaves through the hearts of fans worldwide.

The legendary couple, who tied the knot in 1982 after a whirlwind romance that began three years prior, was no stranger to controversy and drama. Their relationship was put under the microscope for all to see as they navigated their family life on the hit MTV reality show "The Osbourne's." However, despite the ups and downs of fame, Ozzy frequently professed his undying love for Sharon, often referring to her as his "soulmate."

In a series of heart-wrenching clips shared by fans on social media, Ozzy can be seen gushing about his beloved wife. In one poignant clip from their family's podcast, Ozzy confessed that he couldn't live without Sharon, sharing, "Sometimes I love her, sometimes I don't love her. Sometimes I'm angry with her. Sometimes I'm crazy about her." The 76-year-old rockstar went on to reveal his deep-seated admiration for Sharon, stating, "But through it all at the end of the day, I love her more than anything in the world. I couldn't live without her, I don't want to live without her."

Sharon, who was sitting beside him during the intimate conversation, chimed in with a resounding "Ditto," leaving fans wondering what secrets their relationship held.

But Ozzy's affections for Sharon weren't limited to just public declarations. In an interview with Zane Lowe in 2023, he credited his wife with keeping him alive, stating, "She's my heart and soul... How lucky I am to have what I have, if it wasn't for Sharon, I would've been dead long ago." The devoted couple's love story is a testament to the power of true devotion.

Asked in a resurfaced interview what attractive her to Ozzy, Sharon said: 'He was so funny, so funny and quick witted, and yet very vulnerable'

But how did this iconic duo meet? In an exclusive interview with AXS TV, Sharon shared the sordid details of their whirlwind romance. "In '79 we were working together and it was '80 when it started," she revealed, leaving little to the imagination. When asked what drew her to Ozzy, Sharon confessed that his quick wit and vulnerability had piqued her interest.

As fans mourned the loss of this musical legend, Sharon led a sea of grieving family members in an emotional funeral procession through Birmingham, where Ozzy grew up. The streets were filled with thousands of tearful devotees who lined the streets, singing along to Black Sabbath classics as they said their final goodbyes.

Sharon paid a touching tribute to her late husband by wearing Ozzy's unmistakable wedding band around her neck – a token that represented the couple's enduring love story. The gold ring, adorned with diamonds, was seen by fans as a poignant reminder of the bond between this iconic duo.

In a final nod to their legendary status, Sharon held up two fingers in the air and flashed a double peace sign – a gesture synonymous with Ozzy's hippie roots. As reported, this symbolism had deep meaning for the rockstar, who once told Rolling Stone, "We were the last hippie band... We were into peace."

The city of Birmingham came together to honor Ozzy's legacy as thousands gathered along the route, paying their respects to the Prince of Darkness. The funeral cortege was led by a live brass band, Bostin' Brass, who performed versions of Black Sabbath classics like "Iron Man." Amidst this sea of love and support, Sharon stood strong alongside her children Jack, Kelly, Aimee, and Louis, drawing strength from the outpouring of tributes pouring in.

In a fitting tribute to his lasting impact on Birmingham, Ozzy was posthumously awarded the freedom of the city – an honor bestowed upon individuals for their exceptional service. As fans continue to mourn this incredible loss, one thing remains clear: Ozzy Osbourne's legacy will live on through the love story he shared with Sharon.
