Sharon Osbourne has opened up about the letter of condolence that King Charles wrote and had hand delivered after the death of her husband, heavy metal icon Ozzy Osbourne.

The Black Sabbath frontman died at the age of 76 in July, weeks after performinga huge farewell show with the band he formed in 1968.

In a forthcoming interview on Piers Morgan’s show* Uncensored,* a tearful Sharon, 73, explained: “His Majesty sent me a letter the next day… King Charles [had it] hand delivered... [It said] just how sorry he was.”

She continued: “He knew Ozzy. He knew we met him several times, and he’s always been so gracious with Ozzy, and they would always laugh together… He got Ozzy. He got him…”

King Charles was not the only head of state to send his regards. Sharon revealed last month that Donald Trump left the family a voicemail praising Ozzy as a “unique” character.

Speaking to Morgan, Sharon added: “When you look at King Charles and you look at Donald Trump, whatever anybody might think about them, it’s their business, but their days, you know how full their day is? I mean insanity, and that they had the time and the graciousness to do that for us.”

Elsewhere in the emotional interview, Sharon said that Ozzy’s final words to her were: “Kiss me. Hug me tight.”

In August, it was confirmed that Ozzy’sofficial cause of death was a heart attack and “acute myocardial infarction,” typically meaning the death of tissue resulting from a failure of blood supply to an organ.

Sharon, who also managed Ozzy for most of his career, recalled how he had woken up July 22 at around 4 a.m. at their home in Buckinghamshire — just 20 minutes later, he was dead. Sharon said she screamed after finding Ozzy slumped over in the gym at their house, apparently having decided to have an early morning workout despite his ill health at the time.

“He had a heart attack,” she told Morgan. “I ran downstairs, and there he was, and they were trying to resuscitate him, and I’m like, ‘Don’t – just leave him. Leave him. You can’t. He’s gone.”

She continued: “I knew instantly he’d gone. And they tried and tried, and then they took him by helicopter to the hospital and they tried, and it’s like, ‘He’s gone. Just leave him.’”

Before going downstairs to the gym, Ozzy had apparently been up and down all night in the bathroom, telling her at one point to “wake up,” before she told him his movements had already woken her.

It was then that he said to her, “Kiss me. Hug me tight.”

Sharon said that Ozzy had been told by his doctor that his final show would kill him.

“He didn’t want to die on stage, he didn’t,” she said. “But he did it his way.”

She described Ozzy’s homecoming funeral procession in Birmingham as “like a dream,” in which she felt she was “looking down at it all.”

“My kids could see and feel how much their father was loved… it was overwhelmingly warm, going back to your hometown where you’re really loved.”

Sharon and Ozzy share three children: daughters Aimee and Kelly, and son Jack.

“Grief has now become my friend,” Sharon said, describing the sense of loss she still feels today.
