Sharon Osbourne has paid tribute to her late husband, Ozzy Osbourne, on what would have been their 46th wedding anniversary, sharing an emotional message reflecting on their decades together.
On Friday, July 4, Sharon posted a close-up photograph of the couple holding hands on Instagram alongside a heartfelt caption.
She wrote, "Today would have been our 46th wedding anniversary. Instead, it is a celebration of a love that even death could not diminish. I miss your hand in mine, but I carry your love with me every step of the way. Forever my husband. Forever my heart."
Ozzy died on July 22, 2025, aged 76, following a public battle with Parkinson's disease. His death came 17 days after he headlined the farewell concert, Back to the Beginning, at Villa Park in his hometown of Birmingham alongside Black Sabbath.
The couple married in Hawaii on July 4, 1982, and remained together for more than four decades.
Despite experiencing well-documented challenges, including a brief separation in 2016, they renewed their wedding vows in 2017 and raised three children together; Aimee, Kelly and Jack.
Following Ozzy's death, his music experienced a significant resurgence on the Billboard charts.
His 1980 solo hit "Crazy Train" entered the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time, debuting at No. 46 with 9.2 million streams during the tracking week ending July 24, 2025.
