Sharon Osbourne has marked what would have been her 46th wedding anniversary with Ozzy Osbourne, sharing a heartfelt tribute almost a year after the legendary Black Sabbath frontman’s passing.
Ozzy passed on July 22nd, 2025, aged 76, just weeks after his final performance at Black Sabbath’s historic Back to the Beginning farewell concert in Birmingham, this year’s anniversary marked the first Sharon has faced without her husband of more than four decades.
Posting to social media on Saturday, July 4th, Sharon reflected on the milestone with a deeply personal message alongside a photo of the couple holding hands on their wedding day (per Loudwire).
“Today would have been our 46th wedding anniversary. Instead, it is a celebration of a love that even death could not diminish. I miss your hand in mine, but I carry your love with me every step of the way. Forever my husband. Forever my heart.”
Support messages
The post quickly resonated with fans around the world, drawing thousands of messages of support from people sharing both condolences and their own experiences with grief and loss.
Many reflected on the Osbournes’ enduring relationship, which spanned nearly five decades through career highs, personal challenges and Ozzy’s status as one of heavy metal’s most influential figures.
Among those acknowledging the anniversary was daughter Kelly Osbourne, who also shared a heartfelt message to her mother as the family continues to navigate life without the Prince of Darkness.
The anniversary also arrives almost one year after Ozzy and Black Sabbath’s emotional farewell performance in Birmingham, a show that brought together some of rock and metal’s biggest names to celebrate the band’s extraordinary legacy before Ozzy’s passing later that month.
For generations of fans, Ozzy and Sharon’s relationship became one of rock music’s most enduring partnerships, both on and off stage. From navigating decades in the spotlight to redefining celebrity through The Osbournes, the couple remained inseparable in the eyes of millions.
Sharon’s tribute serves as a reminder that while Ozzy’s music continues to inspire fans across the world, his absence is still deeply felt by those closest to him.
Nearly a year on, her simple message captured a love story that resonated far beyond heavy music, one that, in her own words, remains unchanged despite loss.
