A legal expert reveals new financial information about Ozzy Osbourne’s estate
**Sharon’s Secret Fight for Ozzy’s Final Bow**
In Ozzy Osbourne’s final weeks, Sharon Osbourne waged a private battle to honor her husband’s last wish – a proper farewell to fans. Despite insurers refusing coverage due to his fragile health, the 72-year-old manager found a way to make his July 2025 Birmingham benefit concert happen.
**The Bat Throne Solution**
Facing insurance restrictions that barred Ozzy from standing, Sharon devised an iconic compromise: her husband would perform seated on a custom bat-shaped throne. Though frustrated after months of training to stand, the metal legend agreed, determined to give fans one last show.
**A Legend’s Last Performance**
The emotional hometown concert became Ozzy’s swan song, raising millions for charity. Monitored by medical staff and wearing a pulse oximeter, he delivered a powerful seated performance. “He wanted to show strength,” an insider revealed, noting his daily rehearsals with a live-in coach.
**Estate Complications Loom**
With $220 million and six children from two marriages, Ozzy’s estate may face disputes. Legal experts warn potential conflicts if the will isn’t clearly defined, particularly between his children with first wife Thelma Riley and those with Sharon.
**Ozzy’s Unconventional Funeral Wishes**
True to form, the Prince of Darkness planned a humorous sendoff. Over the years, he joked about funeral pranks, bizarre music choices (from Bieber to Boyle), and even suggested the epitaph: “Bats taste like [expletive].”
**Family Remembers Their “John”**
Ozzy’s sisters Jean and Gillian recalled his excitement during final Birmingham visits. “He was frail but still our John,” they shared, emphasizing his authentic nature matched his public persona.
**A Fitting Finale**
Through Sharon’s devotion, Ozzy completed his legendary journey where it began – performing for adoring fans. His extraordinary life, from Black Sabbath to reality TV fame, concluded with the dignity and showmanship that defined his career.
