Music correspondent Published 26 October 2026, 01:40 GMT It's been 15 months since Ozzy Osbourne died, at the age of 76, at his home in Buckinghamshire.
Although he had suffered from health problems for years, including Parkinson's disease and a fractured vertebra, his death was a shock.
Less than three weeks beforehand, he had been on stage in Birmingham, playing a triumphant farewell concert.
"He was just so, so happy," recalls his wife Sharon.
"He was online, going through the reviews and saying, 'There's something terribly wrong', and I'm like, 'Why?'
"He goes, 'I didn't get slagged by anybody. Why are people being nice to me?'
