A legal expert reveals new financial information about Ozzy Osbourne’s estate

In the weeks leading up to Ozzy Osbourne’s death, Sharon Osbourne worked quietly to honor his final wish—to say goodbye to fans on his own terms. Determined, she fought behind the scenes to make his last performance possible.

At 72, Sharon clashed with insurance providers to secure Ozzy’s spot at the Back to the Beginning charity concert in Birmingham on July 5, 2025. Because of his Parkinson’s and frail condition, insurers refused coverage if he stood or walked.

The solution came in the form of a bat-shaped throne. Though Ozzy had trained hard to perform standing, he agreed to the compromise, which allowed the show to move forward.

The concert became his farewell, closing his career in his hometown before a sold-out audience. He raised millions for charity and, despite sitting, poured everything into the performance. Monitored constantly, Ozzy trained daily and insisted on giving fans his very best.

He leaves behind six children and an estate valued at around $220 million. Legal experts note that if his will is unclear, disputes could arise between his three children with Thelma Riley and three with Sharon.

Ozzy had long joked about his funeral, preferring humor over sorrow. He once suggested Bieber and Boyle medleys, Beatles songs, or even coffin pranks. His epitaph idea: “Bats taste like [expletive].”

His sisters, Jean Powell and Gillian Hemming, were shocked by his passing, recalling his authenticity and excitement at returning to Birmingham. Beyond music, Ozzy’s legacy lies in both his art and the unforgettable life he shared with fans.
