In the weeks before Ozzy Osbourne’s death, Sharon made a crucial decision that helped fulfill his final wish to say goodbye to fans on his own terms. Facing resistance from insurance providers due to Ozzy’s health issues, Sharon secured a compromise: he would perform seated on a bat-shaped throne at the “Back to the Beginning” concert in Birmingham, on July 5, 2025. Despite his frustration at not being able to stand, Ozzy gave the performance everything he had, marking his final farewell in front of a sold-out crowd.

Ozzy, who had spent months training to stand, ultimately had to remain seated because of his Parkinson’s disease and mobility issues. Sharon’s determination allowed the concert to go ahead, raising millions for charity and giving Ozzy the closure he desired. It became a bittersweet moment for fans, as they saw the “Prince of Darkness” one last time, honoring both his legacy and his struggle.

Ozzy’s wealth, estimated at £162 million, and his complex family situation added further challenges for his estate. With six children from two marriages, division of his assets could lead to legal complications. Legal experts warned that if Ozzy hadn’t made specific provisions in his will, disputes among his heirs might arise, complicating the inheritance process.

Despite his fame and fortune, Ozzy always maintained a sense of humor about his death. Over the years, he openly discussed his funeral plans, insisting on a celebration, not a mournful affair. His irreverence extended to his epitaph, joking that it should read, “Bats taste like [expletive].” As his family mourns, his sisters reflected on their brother’s genuine, unpretentious nature, remembering the humor and warmth that defined his life, even in his final days.
