In a deeply emotional episode of ‘The Osbournes’ podcast, Sharon, Kelly and Jack Osbourne came together for the first time since Ozzy Osbourne‘s passing to share raw memories, laughter, tears and the incredible outpouring of love from around the world.
They discuss Ozzy‘s final days, his determination to perform one last show, his legendary spirit, and the powerful lessons of gratitude and authenticity he left behind. This is a heartfelt tribute to one of rock’s most iconic legends — from the people who knew him best.
Sharon, Kelly and Jack also revealed that they received messages of condolences from both U.S. president Donald Trump and King Charles III of the United Kingdom.
Jack said: “Love him or hate him, [Trump] didn’t have to call and leave a voicemail.”
Sharon concurred, saying: “Listen, when it comes to politics, we know nobody comes out a winner. Whoever you like, half of people are gonna [be unhappy], and now it’s more so than ever in history, that people’s choice of which party, which politician… You can’t come out a winner. All I know is a man that I know, I worked with for a month — I spent one month with him and his wife, who was always gracious, elegant, just a delight to talk to, his wife. And he was always, ‘How are the children? How’s Kelly? I’m so proud of Kelly and Jack for what they’ve done. And their manners are great.’ And he was just a great guy to talk to, and he has always treated me with respect.”
Sharon continued: “Listen, I’m not American. I can’t vote. I don’t wanna vote. I don’t vote for anyone. I vote for no one. Never have, never will. But this thing is, all I know is he’s treated me with respect, your father with respect. He wanted nothing from us — nothing. [His wife] Melania, the same. Nothing. And they have been great. And for him to take his time to do that for us, and because, do you know what? He doesn’t live in a bubble. He knows what’s going on in the streets. He knows what is going on. And I can’t say that for our prime minister [in the United Kingdom]. Again, for President Trump and Melania, thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”
After Jack confirmed that the Osbourne family “got a lovely letter” from King Charles III, Sharon said: “Our King. Now we’re talking. Our King, he’s an amazing person. He is an amazing person. Not just because he wrote to us when Ozzy passed, but if he did it for us, you know he does it for many, many, many people. Now here’s a man that does know what’s going on in the street with people. Not just politics, not just… Here’s a man that cares about the environment, animals. He cares about many, many, many things, and he’s got a good heart. He’s got a good heart. He didn’t have to do certain things that he’s done for Ozzy. In the past — Ozzy’s birthday, when Ozzy was sick in hospital with the motorbike accident, he reached out. He’s a good, caring man with a good heart, and Ozzy’s, as me, we are royalists, and that’s it. We respect him, we respect his family, and that’s it. And he, again, took the time out of his day to write us, have it hand delivered to us, a note from the King for Ozzy’s passing with his condolences, and that says so much.”
Ozzy died on July 22 of a heart attack, his death certificate revealed. The certificate filed in London also said Osbourne suffered from coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease.
