Sharon Osbourne was in Ozzy's hometown of Birmingham to mark the first anniversary of the metal legend's death. Jeffrey Mayer/WireImage On the first anniversary of Ozzy Osbourne‘s death, his wife Sharon revealed the advice the metal legend gave her to help remember him when he was gone.
Sharon, who was in Ozzy’s hometown of Birmingham on Wednesday as the city celebrated its first Ozzy Day, spoke with BBC about how she hoped to continue his legacy. “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 said.
“He was authentic,” she continued. “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.” Sharon added, “He was just genuine, so genuine and funny.” Ozzy, who commanded audiences with his unpredictable, exhilarating live performances, was also known for his sharp sense of humor. (His dry wit eventually found mainstream audiences on the beloved reality TV show, The Osbournes.)
“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,” Sharon recalled.
