Sharon Osbourne shared a poignant four-word Instagram caption just days before the death of her husband, Black Sabbath legend Ozzy Osbourne. The 76-year-old rock star passed away on Tuesday, July 22, surrounded by family, following a long battle with Parkinson's disease.
In her post, Sharon wrote 'Taking it all in' alongside a photograph of herself sitting at the edge of the stage during Ozzy's final concert, titled Back to the Beginning, held on July 5 at Aston Villa FC's Villa Park. The show marked the band's reunion, with original members Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward performing.
Ozzy, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2019, performed seated on an ornate black throne with bat-wing detailing, similar to the one used at his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction. His health struggles, including major spinal surgery in 2023 and a fall in 2019, had forced the cancellation of his No More Tours 2 European and UK dates.
Fans flooded the comments with messages of support, with one writing: 'Your face says you already knew what was coming. My condolences.' Another added: 'This shot has a deeper meaning and larger impact today of all days. RIP.'
Tributes have poured in from fellow musicians, including Yungblud, who performed Changes at the farewell concert and called Ozzy 'the greatest of all time'. Sir Elton John described him as a 'huge trailblazer' who 'secured his place in the pantheon of rock gods'.
