Celebrity — Fans Spot Sharon Osbourne’s Subtle Tribute to Ozzy at His Final Farewell
Fans of the Osbourne family have uncovered the touching meaning behind a piece of jewelry Sharon Osbourne wore during her husband Ozzy’s burial service.
The Black Sabbath legend passed away on July 22 at the age of 76, and his final farewell took place today, July 30, in Birmingham, England—the city where his career first began.
The day included a public procession that drew hundreds of onlookers. Sharon was joined by the couple’s three children—Aimee, Kelly, and Jack—each visibly emotional as they walked together.
When the family reached the Black Sabbath bench, now adorned with flowers, notes, and memorabilia in Ozzy’s honor, they paused to pay their respects. Together, they raised their hands in a peace sign, a gesture of love for the late rocker.
As the event unfolded, sharp-eyed fans following the coverage online noticed a few symbolic details worn or carried by the family. One, in particular, sparked heartfelt discussion—a necklace hanging around Sharon’s neck.
The gold band suspended from the chain, fans quickly realized, wasn’t just any ring. Many were convinced it was Ozzy’s wedding ring.
“Sharon Osbourne wearing Ozzy’s wedding ring on a chain around her neck while mourning him [crying face emoji]—we love you, Shaz,” one fan wrote.
Another chimed in with more context: “That’s the ring from their vow renewal in 2017. He used to wear it along with his original wedding band from 1982.”
A third admitted, “Seeing Sharon wear Ozzy’s ring like that… absolutely broke me.”
Sharon and Ozzy’s story began in 1970 when Sharon’s father was managing Black Sabbath. It wasn’t until 1979, when Sharon became Ozzy’s solo manager, that their relationship turned romantic.
They married in 1982 and welcomed three children together. Though they briefly separated in 2016, the pair reconciled within months.
In 2017, they renewed their vows—something Ozzy described to Hello! magazine as “actually [our] real wedding day.”
“This is the one I’ll remember,” he said at the time. “Sharon and I have been through so much, and this honestly feels like a fresh start.”
At today’s service, each family member carried a single pink rose wrapped in black paper and tied with a purple ribbon. Sharon joined her children in placing the flowers near a poster of Ozzy.
Before setting hers down, she pressed a kiss to the rose—one final, intimate goodbye to her husband of more than four decades.
