First podcast episode since the death of the Prince of Darkness
Sharon, Kelly and Jack Osbourne reminisced about Ozzy and discussed details from their last year together in the first episode of their family podcast “The Osbournes Podcast.” The artist died at the end of July 2025 at the age of 76, just 17 days after Black Sabbath gave a farewell concert at Villa Park in Birmingham.
Previously secret hospital stay before the farewell concert
Just two weeks before the heavy metal band’s last performance in early July 2025, Ozzy was hospitalized, as his Sharon Osbourne revealed on the podcast. However, to protect privacy, the public should not find out about this. In the latest episode it was also revealed that even son Jack Osbourne didn’t know anything about it – that’s how secret his stay was. The reason for this remains under wraps. The hospital staff received pictures of people who were allowed to visit him, Sharon Osbourne continued.
Deterioration in health
Long before his death, Ozzy Osbourne had been struggling with unstable health, which was characterized by setbacks until the very end. According to son Jack Osbourne, Parkinson’s disease, which the singer was diagnosed with in 2019, “worsened” in early December 2024, as he announced in the episode “Remembering Ozzy: The Osbournes Unfiltered on Brief, Legacy & Love | An Exclusive Family Tribute”. The trigger for this was a small fall.
