Sharon Osbourne said she disinvited a greedy band from her husband Ozzy Osbourne’s Black Sabbath farewell concert.
In an interview with Billboard before the performance on Saturday, the former “Talk” co-host mentioned that the unnamed group “wanted to make a profit, and it’s not the right time for that.”
Sharon, 72, added, “After the show, I’ll let everybody know who it was. I think people will be shocked.”
Page Six has reached out to Sharon’s rep for comment but did not immediately hear back.
On Saturday, 76-year-old Ozzy Osbourne took the stage one last time with his Black Sabbath bandmates—Geezer Butler, Tony Iommi, and Bill Ward—at the Villa Park Stadium in Birmingham, England, the city where the band started in the late 1960s.
The 10-hour show featured stellar performances from Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Jack Black and more and was hosted by “Aquaman” star Jason Momoa.
In February, the rockstar announced that he would be taking the stage for a final time with the group amid his health ailments.
“It’s my time to go back to the beginning … time for me to give back to the place where I was born,” he said in a statement at the time.
“How blessed am I to do it with the help of people whom I love. Birmingham is the true home of metal. Birmingham forever.”
In 2020, Ozzy announced he had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Three years later, the father of five halted his touring schedule after undergoing major spinal surgery in 2022.
In November 2023, Ozzy shared that he only had “10 years left” to live after his back surgery left him “virtually crippled.”
“‘How long do you want me to f–king live for?!’” he shared with Rolling Stone UK about a conversation he had with Sharon. “‘At best, I’ve got 10 years left and when you’re older, time picks up speed.’”
Ozzy, who has an assisted suicide pact in place with Sharon, also told the outlet that he doesn’t “want to have a long, painful and miserable existence.”
“I like the idea that if you have a terminal illness, you can go to a place in Switzerland and get it done quickly,” he added. “I saw my father die of cancer.”
