Television personality Sharon Osbourne opened up about life after the death of her husband, Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne, describing her daily visits to his grave and the reasons for burying him on their private estate rather than in a public cemetery in a wide-ranging interview released on October 26, 2026.
Ozzy Osbourne died on July 22, 2025, at the age of 76, and his funeral was held on July 30, 2025, in Birmingham, England. Sharon and Ozzy met in 1970 and married on July 4, 1982, in Maui, Hawaii. Now 74, Sharon said she can see her husband's grave from her window and visits it every day.
Sharon Osbourne has spent the months since her husband's death learning to live with an absence that shows no sign of fading. In a wide-ranging interview released on October 26, 2026, the television personality spoke about coping with the loss of Ozzy Osbourne, her visits to his grave and her reasoning for keeping his resting place on private ground rather than in a public cemetery.
Private Burial Decision
Now 74, Sharon explained why Ozzy was buried on their estate in Buckinghamshire. "There was no way I could put Ozzy in a public graveyard. I've seen what happens to other people in the public eye," she said. She added that public burial sites attract a constant stream of visitors wanting to pay their respects, which leaves no peace for the person buried. "There's no peace because people want to come and they want to pay their respects. That's an ongoing thing, and I wanted Ozzy to rest and just be," she explained. Fans had gathered in large numbers in Birmingham, England, to mourn the singer following his funeral on July 30, 2025.
Ozzy's death came on July 22, 2025, when he was 76. His cause of death included an out of hospital cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction, and Parkinson's disease with autonomic dysfunction. The couple's story began in 1970, when Sharon and Ozzy first met, and culminated in their marriage on July 4, 1982, in Maui, Hawaii.
Coping With Loss
The television star visits the gravesite daily, keeping a constant physical connection to the man she married. "Of course, every day. I can see him from my window," she shared. Sharon said time does not erase the pain of losing a lifelong partner. "You've lost the love of your life, so you don't just wake up and go, 'I'm fine now. I'm cured.' You never get over it," she said. Her approach, she explained, is acceptance rather than withdrawal. "But you learn to live with it, and that's what I'm trying to do. So you either sit in a room and don't come out, or you accept it, befriend it and that's it," she said.
Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne's partnership stretched across more than five decades of rock music history, and her account of daily visits to his grave offers a portrait of grief that remains active, ordinary and unresolved.
