SHARON OSBOURNE Reveals OZZY Was Hospitalized Two Weeks Before Back To The Beginning

Ozzy Osbourne sadly died on July 22, 2025 after years of illness and injury. While we all knew that Ozzy playing the Back to the Beginning show was an important goodbye for the man himself, it turns out that the show could've possibly never happened due to Ozzy quietly being in the hospital.

In the first episode of The Osbournes Podcast since Ozzy's death, Sharon Osbourne revealed that Ozzy was actually hospitalized two weeks prior to Back to the Beginning: "The story, I don't think even you know it, we had him in the hospital and we were just terrified that people were going to find out."

She continued: "So we had all the security and the hospital… the hospital was amazing, they really were. The people at the front desk were told 'nobody, if they ask for Ozzy, he's not here. Nobody's allowed up', all of that."

Sharon later revealed that someone claiming to be Ozzy's brother wanted to see him, which of course raised red flags: "They had pictures of all of us who were allowed up, and names, and this guy comes up and says 'I want to see John Osbourne [Ozzy's legal name]' so of course there's a red light and they go 'who are you?' and he goes 'I'm his brother.'"

"His sisters, his brother didn't know. So I sent security down and I said 'find out who this guy is, he's definitely from the press,'" she said before realizing that there was another John Osbourne in the same hospital, and the "brother" was actually that guy's brother. "[We] felt so terrible," she said.
