Sharon Osbourne has taken to social media to vehemently deny false reports claiming her husband, rock legend Ozzy Osbourne, has passed away. The Black Sabbath frontman, who has been battling numerous health issues in recent years, became the subject of a cruel online death hoax this week.
The 75-year-old Prince of Darkness has faced a series of medical challenges since his 2019 diagnosis of Parkinson's disease, including spinal surgery and a severe fall that aggravated previous injuries. However, Sharon confirmed her husband is very much alive, though continuing to face health complications.
The Viral Rumour That Shocked Fans
False claims about Ozzy's death began circulating online, prompting widespread concern among the metal icon's global fanbase. The rumour gained such traction that Sharon felt compelled to address it directly on her social media platforms.
"Some WACKO online said Ozzy was dead - NOT TRUE," Sharon stated emphatically. She went on to explain that while Ozzy continues to deal with significant health issues, he remains under medical care and is fighting his conditions.
A Legend's Health Battles
Ozzy's health struggles have been well-documented in recent years. After cancelling his 2023 tour dates to focus on recovery, the rock star has been largely out of the public eye. His last major public appearance was at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, where he performed alongside Black Sabbath bandmate Tony Iommi.
The music world has rallied around Ozzy during his health challenges, with fans and fellow artists regularly sending messages of support. This latest death hoax has only strengthened the outpouring of love for the metal icon.
What's Next for the Prince of Darkness?
While Ozzy's touring days may be behind him, Sharon has hinted that her husband hasn't ruled out returning to the studio. The couple recently moved back to the UK after years in Los Angeles, settling in their Buckinghamshire mansion.
As the music world breathes a sigh of relief that the death rumours were false, fans continue to celebrate Ozzy's incredible legacy and wish him well in his ongoing recovery.
