Sharon Osbourne Wore Something Around Her Neck at Ozzy’s Funeral That Made Everyone Cry and Now I Can’t Stop Thinking About True Love

You know that moment when you see something so pure and heartbreaking that it just stays with you? That happened to me today watching Sharon Osbourne say goodbye to the love of her life.

Hundreds of fans lined the streets of Birmingham as the Osbourne family made their way to the iconic Black Sabbath bench — now a growing tribute site covered in flowers and messages for Ozzy, who passed away last week at the age of 76. Sharon walked quietly beside Aimee, Kelly, and Jack, each holding a pink rose wrapped in black paper and tied with a purple ribbon. It was a small, delicate detail — but it felt deeply personal, like a final love letter to the man they all adored.

But here’s what absolutely destroyed everyone watching: eagle-eyed fans immediately spotted something glinting around Sharon’s neck. A chunky gold chain with what looked like a ring hanging from it. And when people realized what it was, the internet collectively lost it.

It was Ozzy’s wedding ring.

Not just any wedding ring either – fans who’ve followed their love story for decades recognized it as the special ring from their 2017 vow renewal ceremony. You see, Ozzy actually wore TWO wedding rings – his original one from when they first married back in 1982, and this newer one that represented their fresh start after they worked through some really rough patches.

Can you imagine? After 45 years together, through addiction struggles, separations, health scares, and everything life threw at them, Sharon chose to keep her husband’s symbol of commitment literally close to her heart. When she leaned down to kiss that pink rose before placing it at the memorial, that ring was right there against her chest.

Their story wasn’t some fairy tale either. They met in 1970 when Sharon was just a teenager and her father managed Ozzy’s career, but they didn’t fall in love until nearly a decade later when she started managing his solo career. They built an empire together, raised three kids, survived his darkest moments, and somehow found their way back to each other even when it seemed impossible.

Remember when they split briefly in 2016 and everyone thought it was over? Ozzy later said getting back together felt like “a new beginning” – and that 2017 vow renewal was him calling it their “real wedding day” because of everything they’d overcome.

Now Sharon carries that promise around her neck, and honestly, I don’t think there’s a more beautiful way to honor a love that refused to quit, even when the world was watching and waiting for it to fail.
