Sharon Osbourne recently revealed that a sudden hospital visit prevented her from attending a tribute event for her late husband, Ozzy Osbourne, at France’s Hellfest. The 73-year-old TV personality and music manager took to social media to express her regret over missing the unveiling of a statue honoring the legendary rocker on June 18.
“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,” Sharon shared, without providing further details about her health issue. She extended her gratitude to the organizers, including Olivier Garnier, Ben Barbaud, and artist Philippe Pasqua, whose work created the striking statue.
This update comes amid Sharon’s ongoing openness about her health challenges. In 2022, she was hospitalized following a sudden medical emergency, which she later explained involved fainting during a filming project and undergoing extensive testing without a clear diagnosis. Sharon has also faced COVID-19 hospitalization in 2020 and battled colon cancer years prior, now in remission.
The Hellfest tribute adds to numerous honors celebrating Ozzy Osbourne’s enduring legacy as the iconic frontman of Black Sabbath and a pioneering figure in heavy metal music. Sharon and Ozzy’s decades-long marriage was both a personal and professional partnership. Recently, Sharon and their son Jack have discussed plans to use artificial intelligence to preserve Ozzy’s image, emphasizing this initiative as a way to honor his memory for future generations rather than a commercial endeavor.
“Technology moves on,” Sharon explained. “For somebody to say I’m doing a cash grab, no.
You don’t know my husband. He used to ask me, ‘How long do you think I’ll be remembered?’
This is something that will pass on through our family and is for our grandkids.”
