Sharon Osbourne, the widow of legendary musician Ozzy Osbourne, has spoken out on the first anniversary of his death. She shared her feelings with the BBC, saying that the best way to remember Ozzy is to play music as loud as possible. Sharon described Ozzy as funny, charismatic, and always honest.

The city of Birmingham, where Ozzy was born and raised, held a special event to honor him. Fans from around the world traveled to Birmingham to celebrate Ozzy's life and music.

Ozzy Osbourne passed away at the age of 76 after struggling with health problems, including Parkinson's disease, which he was diagnosed with in 2019. Sharon said that supporting charities, especially those helping people with Parkinson's and children, was important to Ozzy and will continue in his memory. She visited Acorns Children's Hospice and Birmingham Children's Hospital, which cared for Ozzy when he was young. Sharon said Ozzy was a good man with a big heart who wanted to help others. She hopes that the love and respect shown for Ozzy will continue and that his legacy will live on through his music and the annual Ozzy Day celebration.
