On the first anniversary of Ozzy Osbourne's death, Sharon Osbourne shared how she hopes fans will honour the Black Sabbath frontman's memory. The rock icon died on July 22, 2025, at age 78 following cardiac arrest. In a BBC interview, Sharon encouraged fans to celebrate Ozzy's life by playing his music loudly and 'head banging,' as Ozzy himself would have wished. She reflected on his defining characteristics—his authenticity, sense of humour, and straightforward nature—describing how he never pretended to be anything other than himself.

The anniversary comes as Birmingham, Ozzy's hometown, observes 'Ozzy Day' to collectively remember the musician. Sharon expressed admiration for the city's support and reiterated her commitment to continue the work begun by the Back to the Beginning benefit concert, which raised funds for Parkinson's disease research. Ozzy battled the disease in his final years, and Sharon has pledged to pursue a cure. Their daughter Kelly also marked the occasion with an Instagram post expressing her connection to her father's memory through music, scent, and moments of love transcending grief.
