Sharon Osbourne makes heartbreaking statement on Ozzy in rare return to social media

Sharon Osbourne has broken her social media silence following the death of her beloved husband Ozzy Osbourne who died on July 22.

Former X Factor judge Sharon, 72, was left completely devastated when the Black Sabbath legend died just a few short days after his final live performance in Birmingham with the iconic band. Ozzy was 76 at the time of his death after struggling with numerous health issues for years, including a battle with Parkinson's disease.

Almost six weeks after losing her husband of 43-years, Sharon has returned to social media to remember her late partner. Over the weekend, Ozzy's social media team who are still running his account following his death, posted a picture of him performing on stage in his beloved Birmingham.

The caption of the tear-jerking post read: "I don't wanna say goodbye. When I do, you'll be alright. After all, I did it all for you." In a rare social media move, Sharon liked the post from her official account as she continues to grieve her beloved husband and adjust to life without him.

Ozzy died just days after he performed what was billed as his farewell concert, Back to the Beginning, with his Black Sabbath bandmates in his beloved hometown of Birmingham. He also met fans at a Comic Con event in the days leading up to his death.

Hisdeath certificate confirmed the cause of the Prince of Darkness's death, revealing he died following an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease and Parkinson's disease with autonomic dysfunction (joint causes).

Ozzy's death certification also gave a beautiful nod to Sharon as it read his occupation as "songwriter, performer and Rock legend. Husband of Sharon Rachel Osbourne, Music Artist Manager."

Sharon became Ozzy's manager in 1979 after he was fired from Black Sabbath. It was also around this time that she and the Aston-born legend started dating one another.

Confirming that Ozzy had died in July, a statement from the 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."

Since the death of the musician, who has been hailed as one of the best of his time, his son Jack has spoken out. Taking to Instagram last month, Jack said: "I haven't really wanted to post anything since the passing of my father. My heart has hurt too much. I’m gonna keep this short because he certainly hated long rambling speeches.

"He was so many things to so many people, but I was so lucky and blessed to be apart of a very small group that got to call him 'Dad'. My heart is full of so much sadness and sorrow, but also so much love and gratitude. I got 14,501 days with that man, and I know that is such a blessing. I think this quote best describes my father.

"Hunter S. Thompson once said: 'Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body... but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, 'Wow! What a ride!' That was my dad. He lived and he lived his life fully. I love you dad."

Meanwhile, Ozzy and Sharon's daughter, Kelly said: "I've sat down to write this a hundred times and still don't know if the words will ever feel like enough... but from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

"The love, support, and beautiful messages I've received from so many of you have truly helped carry me through the hardest moment of my life. Every kind word, every shared memory, every bit of compassion has meant more than I can ever explain.

"Grief is a strange thing - it sneaks up on you in waves. I will not be ok for a while, but knowing my family are not alone in our pain makes a difference. I'm holding on tight to the love, the light, and the legacy left behind. Thank you for being there. I love you all so much. Kelly #BirminghamForever #OzzyForever."
