Sharon Osbourne reveals why she missed Ozzy tribute event

Sharon Osbourne has shared a health update after a sudden hospital stay kept her from an Ozzy Osbourne tribute event.

On Friday, June 19, sharing footage of the twenty foot statue on her official Instagram handle, the 79-year-old wrote, 

"I'm sorry I couldn't be at Hellfest for the unveiling of Ozzy's statue. Unfortunately I had an unexpected trip to the hospital earlier in the week."

She continued, "A big thank you Olivier Garnier, Ben Barbaud and everyone at Hellfest. Special thank you to @philippe_pasqua_officiel for the absolutely stunning statue!"

The tribute was held less than a year after Ozzy’s death in July 2025 at age 76. 

His death certificate cited cardiac arrest and acute myocardial infarction, along with coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease with autonomic dysfunction.

Sharon and Ozzy, married since 1982, shared a long public life together and three children. 

She has continued to honour his legacy, including involvement in projects celebrating his impact on rock music.
