Ozzy Osbourne praised his beloved wife through and through to the very end.
In the documentary Ozzy: No Escape from Now, the Black Sabbath singer reflects on his 43-year marriage to Sharon Osbourne. Part of the documentary takes place on July 5, the day of the Black Sabbath farewell concert, Back to the Beginning, weeks before his death.
Ozzy and Sharon’s daughter, Kelly Osbourne, says she’s feeling “very emotional.” “He wants to be able to say thank you to everybody who made him who he is, and he’s getting that moment,” says Kelly, 40.
Ozzy, who died in July at 76, sits on a throne on a platform for the concert and rises to the stage as the audience cheers and cries for the legend.

Sharon, 72, says, “He said to me the other night, ‘I think I’m gonna cry on the last show,’ and I said, ‘Of course you are. I think there’s gonna be a lot of tears from a lot of people.’ Ozzy has gone full cycle. He came, conquered, had a brilliant career and it ended in a brilliant way.”
During his performance, Ozzy tells the massive crowd, “It’s so good to be on this f—ing stage.”
“I’m nervous. It’s my last hurrah, so it’s gonna be pretty emotional for me up there. I just hope I don’t think of Sharon when I’m up there, ‘cause then the f—ing tears will start coming. We’ve done a lot of miles together, me and my old girl,” he says, referring to Sharon.
Ozzy continues, “This is it. This is the last thing, and I’ve accepted it, you know?”
At another point in the documentary, Ozzy credits Sharon as the reason for his being around for so long. “If it wasn’t for Sharon Osbourne, I wouldn’t be here now. I would definitely not have the success I have. I wouldn’t be sober. I’d be six foot under without a shadow of a doubt,” he says.
“Because I didn’t drink any less or do any more drugs than any of them, but all the guys I used to do it with, they’re all dead, so there must be something I did right in the world. The one thing I did was have my Sharon,” says Ozzy

Weeks after the “Paranoid” singer took the stage in Birmingham for his final bow, he died of a heart attack.
“It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning,” his family told PEOPLE in a statement on July 22.
“He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.”
The week after he died, Ozzy was honored with a funeral procession in Birmingham. The streets were lined with thousands of fans, bidding the rocker farewell.

NEED TO KNOW
- The BBC shared one of the final photos of Ozzy Osbourne with his wife Sharon ahead of their hour-long documentary special
- Ozzy died on July 22, weeks after performing his final concert with Black Sabbath
- Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home premieres on Monday, Aug. 18 on BBC One
A photo of Ozzy Osbourne and his wife Sharon Osbourne with their pups has been shared ahead of the BBC’s doc about the musician.
On Thursday, Aug. 7, the BBC posted a final photo of the late rock legend from the upcoming documentary Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home. The picture features Ozzy and Sharon, 72, snuggled up on a couch together, posing with two dogs. It’s unclear when the image was actually snapped.
The hour-long doc focuses on the past three years for the famous family, as Sharon and Ozzy move back to the U.K. ahead of the Black Sabbath singer’s death.
The documentary was originally meant to be a series called Home to Roost, decades after the early aughts’ The Osbournes reality show.
However, amid several health setbacks for Ozzy, who had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2003, the project shifted into a film. The rock star died in late July.
After his death in July, a source told PEOPLE that Ozzy’s health had been impacting his move with Sharon back to England. “Sharon had wanted to move back to England for years, especially as she got older. England was always home for them, but it became more than that,” the source said at the time.
“It was about creating peace and the best life possible together in their final chapter. The path back to England wasn’t easy. His health has been fragile for years.”
Sharon and Ozzy, who had been married for over 40 years, moved to Buckinghamshire in 2023, per the source.
The documentary will highlight Ozzy’s love for his family along with his journey back to the stage for Black Sabbath’s final concert, which he performed at on July 5.
“It was an incredible privilege to spend the last few years with Ozzy, as well as Sharon, Jack and Kelly,” executive producers Ben Wicks and Colin Barr of the film company that produced the film, Expectation, said, per BBC.
“Ozzy wanted to make it back to the UK and appear on stage one last time – our film is an inspiring and poignant account of him fulfilling that dream.”
They added: “Ozzy was loved by millions around the world not just for his music, but for his sense of mischief and his honesty all of which we saw plenty of in the final years of his life. But one thing shone through even more brightly to us, and that was Ozzy’s intense love for his exceptional family who were by his side through it all.”

Ozzy died on July 22. His family announced his death in a statement shared with PEOPLE.
“It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning,” the statement read. “He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.”
His death certificate reported that he died of “out of hospital cardiac arrest” and “acute myocardial infarction.” Coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease with autonomic dysfunction were noted as “joint causes.” Ozzy’s occupation was listed as “Songwriter, Performer and Rock Legend.”
