Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne's love story: What the 18-year-old really thought of the young rocker when they met and how the 'soulmates' endured all despite the odds
Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne became one of the most unlikely A-list power couples and their love story endured despite the many challenges thrown their way. The couple remained devoted to each other over their nearly five decades together, standing by one another through Ozzy's addiction, infidelity and health difficulties. Sharon steadfastly stood by her husband's side until his death on Tuesday aged 76, supporting him through his ill health and his final ever Black Sabbath concert just weeks before his passing. They first met when Sharon was just 18 years old and Ozzy was 22, but it certainly wasn't love at first sight for the couple, with Sharon recalling how she really felt about the rocker at the time. Speaking to CBS' Dan Rather for AXS TV in 2017, Sharon said she was 'nervous' of Ozzy and his Black Sabbath bandmates - Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward - at first. They first met when Black Sabbath were considering being managed by Sharon's father, talent agent Don Arden - who then signed the band in 1974. When asked if it was love at first sight during that first meeting, Sharon replied: 'No, no not at all! I was like ''oh Lord look at them'' because they were all odd and hairy''. 'I'd been used to dealing with artists who were American and they were really slick and put together and they smelt nice. 'But suddenly these guys came in and they were very hairy and they were from the North of England and they don't look or dress like anything I'd ever seen, so I was very nervous of them.' However, Sharon said she began to understand the Black Sabbath appeal when she watched their London show that night, though it wasn't until years later that romance formed between her and Ozzy. 'I was so in awe of what I was seeing, again, I hadn't seen anything like that,' she admitted. 'When I saw how electric it was and how different, I was blown away! So that's when I became interested in Black Sabbath.' In 1979, Ozzy was fired from Black Sabbath due to his unreliable behaviour and substance abuse with Sharon taking over as his solo manager, straining her relationship with her father Don - who had been fired by the band. On The Osbournes podcast, Ozzy recalled: 'I got fired from Black Sabbath and I thought ''I'm done'', and then Sharon said ''I want to manage you'' and I thought ''does she want me?''' In 2017, Sharon said she was 'nervous' of Ozzy at first, but his sense of humour eventually won her over - which she credits for keeping them together (they are pictured in 1985) It was then that sparks began to fly, with Sharon telling how she was attracted to his sense of humour and vulnerability - crediting that for keeping them together over the years. 'In 79 we were working together and it was in 1980 that we started. We were working together and it just became something else,' she told Dan Rather in the 2017 chat. 'He was so funny and quick-witted and very vulnerable. I just thought he was the funniest, sweetest guy I'd ever met because he was so vulnerable about everything. That just attracted me to him.' Their romance blossomed during a trip to San Francisco with musician Gary Moore, with Ozzy previously telling how he desperately tried to sneak off to Sharon's room. On their family podcast last year, Sharon recalled: 'He was trying to find my room but I had booked in another name and Ozzy couldn't find me in my room.' While Ozzy quipped: 'All night, I was going to say ''can I come and watch your telly?'' cos that was my pick-up line back then.' However, it wasn't plain-sailing as Ozzy was married, with his first wife Thelma Riley - with whom he shared children Jessica and Louis and adopted her son Elliot - divorcing him in 1982 due to his alcohol addiction. Sharon said of the time: 'It was tough because Ozzy was married and had two children so after the divorce - his wife divorced him, I would have done the same thing at the time - so everything he had, he just left with her, which was the right thing to do.' When asked if she was the reason for their split, Sharon added: 'No, because of the drink, she couldn't take it anymore and I get it.' When the couple tied the knot after his divorce in 1982, Sharon told how they had 'nothing', with Ozzy struggling financially after being fired from his band while she was laden down by tax bills from her father Don's management firm - which he had put her in charge of. Despite their hardships, Ozzy has described Sharon as his 'soulmate' and said he believes they were always meant to be together. 'I was attracted to Sharon for many years, we'd see each other in airports and festivals along the way and she had this infectious laugh, she was fun,' he said on The Osbournes podcast in 2024. 'We were meant to be together, looking back, we were meant to be.' He gushed: 'Sharon is like my soulmate, sometimes I love her, sometimes I don't love her, sometimes I'm angry with her, sometimes I'm crazy about her, sometimes I'm very jealous of her, sometimes I want to f**king kill her. 'But through it all, at the end of the day, I love her more than anything in the world. I couldn't live without her, I wouldn't want to live without her. My love for her is bigger than it's ever been, we've had a rocky road.' The couple have had many marital difficulties over the years from infidelity to illness but remained together through it all, with Ozzy praising his wife for staying by his side through his health woes. 'These last five years have been hell and I've been a pain in the arse trying to recover but my family have been so f**king wonderful,' he said last year. 'My wife has worked her arse off trying to help me get back on my feet, and my kids have been great as well.' Ozzy underwent seven surgeries over the past five years, including a fourth spinal operation in 2023, and had battled Parkinson's disease since 2003 - though he only publicly revealed his diagnosis in 2020. Ozzy and Sharon tied the knot on July 4, 1982, in Hawaii and welcomed three children during their marriage - Aimee, 41, Kelly, 40, and Jack, 39. They documented their family life throughout the 2000s on their reality TV show, The Osbournes, though their eldest daughter Aimee chose not to feature on the series. Ozzy supported Sharon through her battle with colon cancer in July 2002, when she underwent surgery to remove a large portion of her colon. Thankfully, Sharon was given the all-clear and has remained cancer free ever since, though she underwent a preventative double mastectomy after learning a genetic mutation raised her risk of developing the disease. But one of the couple's most trying moments in their marriage was when Sharon discovered Ozzy had been having an affair with his hair stylist Michelle Pugh in 2016. The distraught music manager struggled to cope with the devastating news and it drove her to take a drug overdose before she walked out on their decades-long marriage. However, she publicly forgave him months later, admitting she was still in love with him and couldn't imagine her life without him, so was working to rebuild their trust. Ozzy later shared his deep regret for cheating on his wife and voiced his sadness over almost losing her because of his 'outrageous' actions. 'I've done some pretty outrageous things in my life. I regret cheating on my wife. I don't do it anymore,' he told British GQ. 'I got my reality check and I'm lucky she didn't leave me. I'm not proud of that. I was pissed off with myself. But I broke her heart.' In Ozzy's final years of life, Sharon remained steadfastly by his side and nursed him through several major health issues, including his Parkinson's struggles. Sharon appeared by his side at his Back To The Beginning concert on July 5, which saw Ozzy take to the stage for one last time for his farewell show. It was also the last time that Ozzy performed with his Black Sabbath bandmates since 2005, with thousands of fans flocking to Birmingham's Villa Park for the concert. Ozzy had planned to keep recording music after retiring from live performing, but less than three weeks after his last show, his family announced the sad news of his death, sending the music world into mourning. In a statement on Tuesday July 22, his family said: 'It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. 'He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis.'

It used to terrify me ... And then it happened - that day when I woke up in this little single cell with human sh-- up the walls - and I thought, what the f--- have I done now? Has one of my practical jokes backfired? So I asked a police officer. I said: 'What am I here for?' I hadn't got a f---ing clue. It's the most horrific feeling. He read me a piece of paper, and said, 'You're charged with attempting to murder Mrs Sharon Osbourne.' I can't tell you how I felt. I just went numb. "But even that didn't stop me.

Heartbroken Sharon Osbourne responds to touching Ozzy tributes after Black Sabbath legend's death aged 76
Sharon Osbourne has spoken out for the first time since the death of her husband Ozzy aged 76 on Tuesday, replying to heartfelt messages from fans. English musician Gavin Rossdale took to Instagram shortly after the news broke to pay tribute to the heavy metal icon, writing: 'RIP OZZY - a great man -a true legend - i met ozzy through jack just a few times but he was so warm and kind and funny and i love that memory .sending much love to his family at this difficult time. Rest in power.' Ozzy's heartbroken wife Sharon replied to his post: 'Bless you.' The Black Sabbath legend's death was announced by his family last night in a statement which read: 'It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. 'He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis.' Ozzy married Sharon, the daughter of the band's manager Don Arden, on July 4, 1982. The rocker was able to bid an emotional farewell to his fans on stage this month as he reunited with his original Black Sabbath bandmates for the first time since 2005. 'You've no idea how I feel - thank you from the bottom of my heart,' Osbourne told the crowd in his final speech. The music legend vowed, however, that it would be his final ever performance due to his health, having opened up about his battle with Parkinson's in 2020. The star was a titan of music who somehow survived controversies that would end the careers of many others, and weathered health problems that would leave most of us on our backs. Whether it was biting the head off both a bat and a dove, snorting a line of ants or urinating on a US war memorial while wearing one of his wife Sharon's dresses, Osbourne was defined by his antics both on and off stage. The singer, who sold more than 100 million records, will forever be synonymous with the heavy metal band he formed in his home city of Birmingham in 1969. With hits that included Iron Man, War Pigs and Paranoid, Black Sabbath's pushing of occult themes proved both hugely popular and controversial, with a future pope even condemning Osbourne for his 'subliminal satanic influence'. On Wednesday, MailOnline revealed that an air ambulance was called to Ozzy's multi-million-pound country home as paramedics battled to save his life. The Thames Valley air ambulance landed in a field close to Welders House, the singer's Grade II listed mansion on Tuesday morning at around 10.30am. It's believed that calls from Welders House had led call handlers to believe that the Black Sabbath singer's life was in the balance. A chopper was dispatched from Thames Valley ambulance base at RAF Benson in Wallingford, Oxfordshire, some 27 miles from the mansion which is located close to the village of Chalfont St Giles, Buckinghamshire. The crew were airborne for around 15 minutes before landing in the grounds of the mansion and were then with Ozzy for around two hours, trying but failing to save his life, it's understood. News of the helicopter drama is the first insight into the finer details of the singer's death. Locals in the village of Jordans, which adjoins Osbourne's home told MailOnline that they realised 'something serious' was taking place when they heard a helicopter hovering above Welders and then saw it land nearby. It was seen taking off again at around 12.30pm. One resident, who did not wish to be named said: 'I went out to have a look and saw that it was landing close to Ozzy's house. 'All of us were talking about it and wondering what had happened. We immediately feared it may be for him as he was known to be in fragile health. 'When we heard later that night that he had died it confirmed our worst fears.' A spokesperson for Thames Valley Air Ambulance confirmed to MailOnline: 'We can confirm that our helicopter was dispatched to provide advanced critical care at an incident near Chalfont St Giles yesterday.' Ozzy's 125-year-old country pile is surrounded by a 350-acre estate which he and Sharon bought in the summer of 1993 for an undisclosed sum. Ahead of his arrival in the UK for his farewell concert in Birmingham three weeks ago it had undergone a major refurbishment which included a dedicated rehab wing, swimming pool and pond so that he could spend more time there as his health deteriorated. Another local, Jane, also saw the Air Ambulance. She told MailOnline: 'I was out walking when I saw the helicopter landing close to Welders and realised something serious was happening…. 'Ozzy Osbourne was quite a character and we'll miss him.' The Thames Valley Air Ambulance service is based at RAF Benson in Wallingford, Oxfordshire and covers Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire. It can reach any location within these three counties in a maximum of 15 minutes. The Air Ambulance base is around 27 miles from the property with locals telling MailOnline that after seeing it land, they saw it take off again and fly over Jordans at around 12.30pm. It only has one helicopter which is painted bright red and is routinely called out to provide critical care to patients in emergency situations. This can range from road traffic accidents to those who have suffered a heart attack or stroke. Thames Valley Air Ambulance receives no government or NHS funding and relies entirely on donations and is a registered charity. Earlier this week, it revealed that it had logged its 20,000th emergency call out since becoming an independent healthcare provider in 2018, which allows it to crew its aircraft with its own medical staff. This equates to an average of nine call outs per day.

‘Sharon saved me every day' How Ozzy's wife's devotion never wavered through years of drug addiction hell
OZZY Osbourne once admitted how his loyal wife Sharon Osbourne saved his life "every day" despite his turbulent life. The Black Sabbath star's death comes just weeks after he took to the stage one final time with his band mates at Villa Park in Birmingham. 3 3 3 Ozzy died aged 76, surrounded by his family on Tuesday morning, after bravely battling against Parkinson's disease. But the veteran rocker may not have hit the heights of his stellar career if he did not have his loyal wife Sharon standing by his side during his lowest moments. Ozzy once said of the woman who became his second wife: 'If it weren't for her, without a shadow of a doubt, I would be dead.' Ozzy's volatile behaviour from his drinking and drug abuse saw his life seemingly fall apart and sparked his divorce from his first wife Thelma. He was also sacked from Black Sabbath in 1979 as his life continued to spiral downwards. But everything changed when Sharon Levy turned up at the door that year. Sharon, then 27, was the daughter of Black Sabbath's manager Don Arden. They'd first met when she was 18 and working as her dad's receptionist. The singer wrote in his autobiography I Am Ozzy: 'I fell for Sharon so badly, man.' And in another interview with Australian music guru Billy Pinnell, Ozzy admitted: "Truly, without my wife at my side, I wouldn't be here – without any doubt. The rocker did not shy away from the subject, adding: "I wouldn't be alive, I wouldn't be singing. "She saved my life every day." When she turned up at his door, Sharon convinced the wreck that he could be a solo star, and that she should be the one to manage him. The pair wed in Hawaii on July 4, 1982. Not only did she become mother to his three children Aimee, Kelly and Jack but she also got things back on track. Debut solo album Blizzard of Ozz, with big numbers like Crazy Train, Suicide Solution and Mr Crowley, appeared in September 1980, and eventually sold more than five million copies. Sharon also amped up his satanic image, encouraging stage antics such as flinging animal entrails into the audience. But while Ozzy's solo career soared, so did his appetite for booze, illegal drugs and prescription pills. He later said: 'I was a beast. Absolutely terrifying.' Ozzy later expressed regret at the toll his much-publicised drug and alcohol abuse had on Sharon. In 1989, he attempted to kill Sharon while high on drugs. Sharon told the Guardian in 2001: 'He was totally insane from all the drink and drugs he was doing, and well, these things happen.' She fought him off and Ozzy was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, but Sharon later dropped the charges and he spent three months in rehab. Ozzy's family statement BLACK Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne has died at the age of 76. A statement from his family said: "It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. "He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. "Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis." Ozzy was also injured in a quad bike crash at his UK home in 2003, an episode that had a serious impact on his fragile health. Yet there was also redemption for the troubled singer, who relaunched himself as a reality TV star in The Osbournes in the early 2000s, after getting clean from drink and drugs with the help of Sharon. "The crap that I put her through when I was abusing myself - I'd disappear for weeks on end and I'd smack her in the eye and do all these horrible things, and she stuck by me and she got me through all kinds of stuff," Ozzy said. In later years, Ozzy became much more than just a singer. Along with Sharon and his kids, they became global TV sensations through their groundbreaking fly-on-the-wall documentary The Osbournes. It was such a smash hit that it paved the way for similar reality shows featuring Paris Hilton and later The Kardashians. Only three weeks ago, the Prince of Darkness who brought light into so many lives gave us one last hurrah when heavy metal royalty descended on Villa Park, Birmingham, to pay their respects. The Back to the Beginning gig ended with him - seated on a giant black throne because he could not stand - joining his Black Sabbath muckers on the songs that took him to the world stage. Ozzy Osbourne's career The singer first pursued his love of music after hearing The Beatles hit She Loves You in 1963, aged 15. After appearing in a handful of school plays, Ozzy joined Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler in their first group Rare Breed in 1967. When that band split, the pair reunited in Polka Tulk Blues alongside Tony Iommi and drummer Bill Ward. The group later became known as Black Sabbath and went onto shatter the music world with their whining guitar solos, Occult-based lyrics and Ozzy's screeching vocals. In 1970, the group gained a cult following in both the US and UK after releasing their eponymous first album. Black Sabbath saw incredible success with hit tracks such as Paranoid but discord in the group saw most of the original line-up leave. Ozzy himself quit the band in 1978, with a spiral into drug abuse leading to a divorce from first wife Thelma Mayfair, who he had two children with. It was then he first met a young Sharon Arden, who Ozzy at first wrote off as he believed she would think he was a "lunatic". But the singer could not be more wrong and the pair married in Hawaii in July 1982 before going on to have three children together, Aimee, Kelly and Jack. With Sharon's encouragement and help from her music manager dad Don, he began to carve out a successful solo career. His seminal first album Blizzard of Ozz in 1980 became a multi-platinum success thanks to Ozzy's howling vocals and macabre laugh on hit Crazy Train. Coupled with the Prince of Darkness' insane tour that saw him bite the head off a live bat, a string of successful tracks followed - cementing Ozzy as a rock legend around the world. In 1992, the singer announced his retirement but four years later created the beloved annual music festival Ozzfest with Sharon. Ozzy returned to Black Sabbath in 1999, with the band winning a Grammy for best metal performance for the song Iron Man. They later earned the same award in 2013 after releasing single God Is Dead? from album 13.
