Sharon Osbourne has never been one to shy away from the public eye, but her recent appearance this time is different. After months out of the spotlight, she was back in the public eye alongside Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi, promoting their final Black Sabbath show.
Her return happened just after her husband, Ozzy Osbourne, revealed that his Parkinson’s disease had progressed to the point where he could no longer walk. While Ozzy prepares for what could be his final live performance, Sharon remains by his side as his wife and manager.
Sharon Osbourne has stood by her husband in sickness
Sharon has been open about the toll Parkinson’s has taken on Ozzy; she emphasized that the disease is unpredictable. “It affects different parts of the body, and it’s affected his legs,” she shared. She also added that while his mobility has declined, “his voice is as good as it’s ever been.” Despite the challenges, she has remained a strong and steady presence for her husband, though she admitted that watching Ozzy struggle has been difficult.
Right now, apart from planning Ozzy’s final show, the pair are focusing on Ozzy’s health and the moments they have together. Ozzy himself acknowledged the reality of his condition, saying, “I can’t walk, but for all my complaining, I’m still alive.” Sharon has continued to stand by him, ensuring he gets the support he needs while also helping to bring his final show to life.
Black Sabbath will perform again after 20 years
As Ozzy prepares for his last major performance, Sharon has taken an active role in promoting the event. She was with Tony Iommi at Villa Park, where they held up personalized Aston Villa shirts to mark the occasion. She wore a white T-shirt under a blue suit for the promotion event. The show, set for July 5, will see Black Sabbath’s original lineup perform together for the first time in over 20 years.
The event has been described as “the greatest heavy metal show ever,” with bands like Metallica, Slayer, and Pantera also set to take the stage. Beyond the music, the show will raise funds for charities, including Cure Parkinson’s and Birmingham Children’s Hospital.
