by

Ozzy Osbourne had admirers in royal places.

Sharon Osbourne recently shared that King Charles III sent a heartfelt, handwritten note to the family of Black Sabbath singer Ozzy Osbourne, who passed away on July 22nd at age 76 after a battle with Parkinson’s disease.

Sharon Osbourne recently shared on the podcast The Osbournes how much she appreciates King Charles. She explained that he’s a truly kind person, pointing out that he sent a thoughtful letter after Ozzy Osbourne’s passing, and that he likely extends that same consideration to countless others.

The 73-year-old was also grateful for how kind King Charles had been to Ozzy over the years. 

Sharon explained that he’s a genuinely kind person. She pointed out he’s gone above and beyond for Ozzy, like remembering his birthday and being there for him when he was hospitalized after a motorcycle accident. She emphasized he’s a caring man with a truly good heart.

Sharon also mentioned that she and Ozzy are supporters of the royal family, expressing their respect for the King and his relatives.

She remembered that he personally took the time to write them a letter, which was hand-delivered. It was a message of sympathy from the King regarding Ozzy’s death, and she felt that gesture spoke volumes about him.

The family was deeply moved not only to hear from the King, but also to receive tributes from many famous artists, including Oasis, Robbie Williams, Rod Stewart, Coldplay, and Lady Gaga. Even the King’s Guard paid their respects, performing a version of “Paranoia” that Sharon described as incredible.

She shared with Kelly and Jack Osbourne on their podcast that their father would have been thrilled to see the creative ways people were honoring his music.

The siblings also shared their feelings about their father’s death, and Kelly became tearful while remembering her relationship with Ozzy.

Wiping away tears, she said she cherished every moment she had with him and was thankful he was her father.

Kelly, who shares 2-year-old son Sidney with her fiancé Sid Wilson, said she was even thankful for all the challenges and craziness that came with being a mom.

Jack shared that dealing with grief has been a profoundly mixed experience for him, describing it as both incredibly painful and surprisingly meaningful.

It really makes you stop and think about things, she explained. “It’s awful he’s no longer with us, but it also made me incredibly grateful for all the love in my life and appreciate the small moments you often overlook.”

Sharon, who shares 42-year-old daughter Aimee Osbourne with Ozzy, said it’s easy to forget how valuable memories really are.

She’s found comfort in remembering Ozzy and cherishing the outpouring of love from his fans since he died, and she’s actively focused on these positive aspects throughout her grieving process.

In a September Instagram post, Sharon shared how deeply touched she is by the incredible support she’s received online. She said the kind comments, posts, and heartfelt tributes have been a huge comfort, and she wants everyone to know she’s seen and appreciated it all – it’s really helped her through some difficult times.

She expressed her love for everyone and shared her deep gratitude for all the incredible support she’s been receiving.

I remember when these incredible musicians – Ozzy Osbourne, Geezer Butler, Bill Ward, and Tony Iommi – first started out! Before they became the legendary Black Sabbath, they actually played together as a band called Earth. It’s amazing to think about where it all began!

The heavy metal band members were ready to rock as they posed for this shot.

Ozzy Osbourne, originally named John Michael Osbourne, was born in Birmingham, England, in 1948. He didn’t enjoy school much at first, but his love of music helped him succeed.

In a 2010 interview with The Associated Press, he admitted he didn’t get much out of school. He explained that his dyslexia made learning difficult, and he was often teased by a sister for his inability to read, which he found deeply embarrassing.

He said The Beatles were hugely influential in getting him interested in music, and he doesn’t know where he’d be today without it. He explained that music was the primary reason he left his hometown.

In 1968, he started the band Black Sabbath with some friends, taking the name from a horror film. Their first album was a big hit. He married Thelma Riley in 1971, and they had three children: Jessica Osbourne, Louis Osbourne, and Elliot Kingsley.

Let me tell you, seeing Black Sabbath live at the California Jam was incredible! During their set, the singer – you probably know him as the voice of “Paranoid” – really connected with the audience. He was wearing these amazing, shimmering pants decorated with a snake design, and he actually went out into the crowd to embrace everyone. It was a truly special moment!

Black Sabbath walked the streets of London in style.

The band performed at the iconic Hammersmith Odeon—now named the Eventim Apollo—in London.

Tony, Ozzy, Geezer, and Bill were all happy and proud to display their silver record award for the album Technical Ecstasy.

Ozzy Osbourne enthusiastically participated in a darkly themed photoshoot. This came after being dismissed from Black Sabbath the previous year because of his battles with substance abuse.

In his documentary, Biography: The Nine Lives of Ozzy Osbourne, Ozzy admitted that he misused money, comparing it to alcohol and drugs, and that this led to destructive behavior. He described this period as one of the worst times in his life.

Ozzy Osbourne performed at Madison Square Garden during his Diary of a Madman tour shortly after the famous incident where he bit the head off a bat thrown onstage, mistakenly thinking it was a prop.

You know, I always thought the story was hilarious, but also a little terrifying. In the documentary, Ozzy explained it like it was no big deal – he just saw what he thought was a rubber bat and instinctively bit down on it. He said he totally acted like the goofball he always was, and then realized it was actually a real bat! Can you imagine? He just crunched down on it, thinking it was fake. It’s classic Ozzy, honestly.

Later that year, he married his manager, Sharon Arden.

Ozzy Osbourne, known for his dark eyeliner and song “Iron Man,” was photographed with a cigarette before a show in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. He and his wife, Sharon, later had their first child, Aimee Osbourne.

Ozzy Osbourne and Vince Neil of Mötley Crüe took a photo together after a performance on their Bark at the Moon tour. Meanwhile, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne recently celebrated the arrival of their daughter, Kelly Osbourne.

I’ve been a fan of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne for years! It was so lovely to see pictures of them enjoying a vacation in Brazil – they’ve been married since 1982, and it’s wonderful to see them still so happy together. And of course, they’re the proud parents of Jack Osbourne, who I’ve also always admired.

In August 1989, Ozzy’s band performed at the Moscow Music Peace Festival in Russia.

Black Sabbath cemented their legacy with handprints in the Rock Walk of Fame in Los Angeles.

Ozzy sang his heart out at Terminal 1 in Munich, Germany.

Black Sabbath showed their lasting connection by celebrating three decades together as a band. Ozzy Osbourne had returned to the group just a year before the celebration.

In 1999, the musician was present at the launch of the Ozzy Osbourne action figure at the McFarlane Toy Showroom in New York City.

The Grammy-winner rocked his signature black leather style at the 2000 Grammy Awards.

For three years, from 2002 to 2005, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne shared their personal lives with the public on their reality TV show, The Osbournes.

It was so sweet seeing Kelly at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction! You could just tell how much she adored her dad, Ozzy, as she was there to support Black Sabbath. It was a really touching moment – definitely a proud daughter showing her love.

Ozzy performed at the Gods of Metal Festival in Milan, Italy.

Ozzy and Sharon attended the premiere of Amy at ArcLight Cinemas in Los Angeles.

A year after the infidelity came to light, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne temporarily separated. However, they eventually got back together, and Ozzy later told viewers on Good Morning America that things were going well again.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer had emphasized that Sharon was, in fact, the One.

During his documentary, he spoke about his wife, saying she was the only person he’d ever truly loved and that she was his soulmate.

The famous rock star looked thrilled when he revealed his No More Tours II: Final World Tour at a press conference.

Wow, thinking about Ozzy’s career… it’s just incredible to look back on everything he’s accomplished over the last 50 years. He’s really lived a life packed with amazing moments, and I’ve been a fan through it all. It’s truly a star-studded history!

In a 2018 interview with Rolling Stone, he admitted he was surprised by his success. Reflecting on his past, he said he didn’t know why he’d lived so long, considering his wilder days. He jokingly suggested that maybe a higher power wanted him to keep going.
