Sharon Osbourne admitted that she and her late husband, Ozzy Osbourne, used to have 'the worst arguments' during their over 40-year marriage.
The Black Sabbath frontman and rock legend passed away at the age of 76 on July 22, 2025, from a heart attack after being diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in 2019. In a rare interview with BBC Radio WM since her husband's death, the 73-year-old got choked up as she talked about Ozzy's impact and how she hopes fans will remember him despite their chaotic relationship.
This comes after their daughter Kelly Osbourne admitted 'it aches every single day' on the one-year anniversary of her dad's death.

Speaking about her late husband, Sharon said, "I mean, we could have the worst arguments in the world, but we would end up laughing because he would say something so ridiculous that we would just crack up."
Ozzy and his family became household names in 2002 after the debut of the reality television series The Osbournes, which followed the couple and two of their children as they navigated life as rock-and-roll royalty from their Beverly Hills mansion.

Ozzy and Sharon often engaged in loud arguments and on-camera clashes, so much so that Ozzy became known for shouting "Sharon!" throughout the series to get his wife's attention.

Sharon and Ozzy tied the knot on July 4, 1982, and were married for 43 years until his passing. The couple shared three children: Aimee, Kelly, and Jack. While Aimee chose to remain out of the public eye, Kelly and Jack shot to fame after appearing on The Osbournes.
While their marriage endured over four decades, the couple faced several public scandals, including Ozzy's struggles with substance abuse, infidelity, and ongoing health issues.
Despite going through several periods of separation, the couple renewed their vows in Las Vegas on Mother's Day in 2017.

Still, Sharon says that she wants people to "remember how funny he was — funny and charismatic and real."
She gushed, "He was authentic. He never tried to be anything other than what he was, and he would tell you the truth about everything, and that was him. You knew where you were with him. He was just genuine, so genuine and funny."
When it comes to how fans should remember the Crazy Train hitmaker, Sharon advised, "As Ozzy would say, 'When you want to remember me, just yank up the music really loud, as loud as you can get it, and just head bang.'"
To commemorate the one-year anniversary of Ozzy's death, Sharon traveled to the rock star's hometown of Birmingham to kick off the city's inaugural 'Ozzy Day' celebration.
