“He Just Looked At Me… Like He Was Waiting For Me To Be Ready.” As The World Mourns The Icon, Sharon Osbourne Grieves The Quiet Goodbye Only She Truly Heard. No screaming guitars. No stadium lights. Just silence — and a hand she’d held for over forty years. In a tearful, trembling voice, Sharon Osbourne recounted the final moments with the man the world knew as a rock god — but she knew simply as home. “He just looked at me… like he was waiting for me to be ready,” she whispered. “There were no words. Just that look — and then his fingers, gently tightening around mine.” For decades, Ozzy Osbourne was chaos incarnate: the wild frontman, the rebel, the storm. But to Sharon, he was the stillness in her most fragile hours. She didn’t speak of fame or headlines. She remembered hospital rooms and whispered jokes. Socks he warmed by the fire for her. The way he’d hum to their dog when he thought no one was listening. “He wasn’t the Prince of Darkness to me,” she said, wiping away tears. “He was the man who brushed the hair from my eyes when I was too sick to move.” Their last night wasn’t loud. There were no goodbyes. Just breaths — slowing together. Hands — refusing to let go. “He didn’t need to speak,” Sharon said. “That last squeeze… that was him telling me he loved me. That he was ready — and that it was okay if I was too.” In the end, Ozzy didn’t leave the way he lived. Not with fire, but with grace. Not in noise, but in love. And the silence he left behind… still echoes louder than any scream…

Ozzy Osbourne’s family have accompanied the rock legend’s coffin on an emotional final journey through his home city, watched on by thousands of fans who cheered and chanted his name.A tearful Sharon Osbourne added a pink rose to dozens of tributes left by fans in Birmingham, consoled by family members including children Kelly and Jack.

The large crowd of onlookers created a highly-charged atmosphere, giving the heavy metal star a respectful but fittingly raucous send-off as they chanted: “Ozzy! Ozzy! Ozzy!”

The funeral procession was led by a brass band playing Black Sabbath songs, with Ozzy’s body transported in a hearse topped by a purple floral tribute in the shape of a cross.

The procession took place a week after Ozzy’s death at the age of 76, and less than a month after his triumphant farewell concert for 40,000 fans at Villa Park football ground.

On Wednesday, the cortege drove past the stadium and his childhood home before heading into Birmingham city centre, where fans wearing Ozzy and Sabbath T-shirts and scarves lined Broad Street. Some threw flowers, and spontaneous chants and singalongs erupted in the crowd.

The procession stopped on Black Sabbath Bridge, where a bench bearing images of the band’s members has been turned into a makeshift memorial.

Over the past week, fans have been leaving flowers, messages, empty beer bottles and even bat-shaped balloons – a reference to the infamous 1982 incident when the rock hell

raiser bit the head off a bat on stage.
