Sharon Osbourne is sharing one heartfelt way fans of her late husband, rock icon Ozzy Osbourne, can pay tribute to The Prince of Darkness on the first anniversary of his death.
In an interview with BBC Radio WM published on Wednesday, July 22—the one-year anniversary of Ozzy's death at age 76 following a battle with Parkinson's disease—Sharon told fans to remember him by playing their music "really loud."
"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,'" Sharon, 73, continued.
Looking back on her four decades of marriage to the Black Sabbath rocker, Sharon described him as "authentic" over anything. "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," she told the BBC, praising her late husband as "so genuine and funny," even in hard times.
"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," The Talkpersonality added.
As she marks the first anniversary of Ozzy's passing, Sharon made sure to visit the musician's hometown of Birmingham for its first-ever Ozzy Day celebration. Less than three weeks before his death, Ozzy performed alongside Black Sabbath at the band's Back to the Beginning concert in Birmingham's Villa Park to raise money for Cure Parkinson's, Acorns Children's Hospice and Birmingham Children's Hospital's charity.
Sharon assured the BBC that Ozzy's passion for charity will be honored after his death, especially when it comes to the support of Parkinson's research. "We will continue that until we find a cure for Parkinson's, because people don't realise it's more and more prevalent," Sharon said, adding of her late love, "He was just a real bloke, a really good bloke with a big heart and he wanted to give back."
