Weeks Before His Death, Ozzy Osbourne Revealed His 7 Deepest Regrets to Sharon — And It Was Shocking

“I built an empire on chaos. But I’d trade it all to undo these seven things.”

In the quiet shadow of his final days, Ozzy Osbourne, the Prince of Darkness, finally laid his demons bare — not on stage, but in a hushed conversation with the one person who had stood by him through madness, music, and mayhem: Sharon Osbourne.

According to those closest to the family, Ozzy asked Sharon to sit with him one night — no cameras, no managers, no press — just raw truth. And in that dimly lit room, he confessed the 7 things he wished he could take back.

What she heard shocked her — and shattered decades of silence.

1. “I Was a Father in Body, Not in Presence”

Ozzy reportedly broke down as he admitted he was “barely there” during his children’s most important years — caught between fame, addiction, and chaos. He confessed that he didn’t know his own kids the way he should have, and that the guilt haunted him more than any tabloid headline ever could.

2. “I Chose Drugs Over Music — And Over You”

For someone who lived under a spotlight of excess, Ozzy’s next regret wasn’t surprising — but it was brutally honest. He admitted that his addictions didn’t just damage his health, they sabotaged his talent, derailed relationships, and nearly cost him everything.

3. “I Humiliated You — Again and Again”

From public affairs to unhinged interviews, Ozzy said his most bitter shame came from how often he embarrassed Sharon, the one person who fought to keep him alive and relevant.

4. “I Destroyed Friendships for the Sake of Chaos”

Ozzy admitted that he burned bridges with fellow musicians, mentors, even fans, often for no reason beyond ego or intoxication. He even mentioned people he couldn’t name anymore — “because I can’t remember what I did… only that I lost them.”

5. “I Turned My Band Into a Battleground”

Black Sabbath changed music forever — but behind the scenes, it was a battlefield of resentment, power struggles, and betrayal. Ozzy reportedly told Sharon:

6. “I Was Afraid to Be Alone With Myself”

In what may be the most human of all confessions, Ozzy said he feared silence more than death. Without noise — the music, the crowds, the chaos — he’d be left with himself. And that was something he’d avoided for decades.

7. “I Lived Like I’d Never Die — Until I Knew I Would”

Near the end, Ozzy finally confronted what every rockstar avoids: mortality. He reportedly told Sharon that he lived for adrenaline, for rebellion, for the next insane moment — but never thought it would end.

Sharon’s Response: “I Forgive You. But You Have to Forgive Yourself.”

Sharon, who had weathered more storms than most marriages could survive, didn’t flinch. She didn’t cry — at least not in front of him. Instead, she held his hand and whispered what Ozzy had been aching to hear for decades.

Final Thoughts

Ozzy Osbourne lived a life of extremes — from metal legend to reality TV star, from addict to survivor. But in the final chapter, he was just a man seeking redemption, not applause.

These seven regrets don’t erase his sins.
But they do reveal the soul of a man who finally faced himself.

And maybe, just maybe, that’s the most rock ‘n’ roll thing he ever did.
