EXCLUSIVE: Sharon Osbourne Fuels Yet More Health Fears As She's Seen Weeping Over Brutal Death of Late Husband Ozzy's Guitarist

RadarOnline.com reports that Sharon Osbourne has ignited fresh worries for her health after visibly breaking down while recounting the tragic death of Randy Rhoads, the guitarist who died in a plane crash during her husband Ozzy Osbourne‘s early solo career.

The 72-year-old television icon and manager became emotional in the new Hulu docuseries, Into the Void: Life, Death & Heavy Metal, where she shares her heartfelt reflections.

During the premiere episode, she reminisces about the devastating event in 1982 that took the lives of Rhoads, who was only 25, and Rachel Youngblood, a close aide whom Sharon regarded as a maternal figure.

The incident took place when the band’s bus halted near Leesburg; the driver, who also piloted a small plane, took Rhoads and Youngblood for a flight while Sharon and Ozzy remained inside the bus that the plane eventually collided with.

A source close to the family shared, “Viewers witnessing Sharon break down are naturally concerned. She has faced numerous health challenges and is currently mourning the loss of Ozzy. Watching her so distressed only heightens fears that she is struggling.”

Another insider remarked, “This isn’t merely a trip down memory lane; the trauma is evidently still very present for her.”

In the documentary, she recollects the moment when she woke up to the sound of a sudden impact.

“It was like a scene from a horror film, a chaotic mix—body parts everywhere—and I found myself screaming at the tour manager, taking off my shoe and hitting him for his negligence,” she recounted.

“It’s clear why I was hesitant to speak about Randy,” she explained.

She expressed her fears of losing Ozzy, who was battling addiction, saying she was terrified that halting the tour would mean losing him to substance abuse.

Sarzo added, “Sharon was the anchor, keeping everything on track. We understood that if Ozzy went home, that would lead to disastrous consequences.”

While they pressed on with the tour, Aldridge remarked that nothing felt the same.

“Randy was the heartbeat of our operation, and his loss made everything incredibly difficult,” Sarzo expressed.

Ozzy has honored Randy’s legacy long after his passing, highlighting his importance in his life and career.

In 2004, Ozzy was posthumously inducted into Hollywood’s RockWalk, honored for his significant contributions to music.

Sharon stated, “I often think about Randy and cherish that he remains remembered. His mystique and the stories surrounding him will never fade away.”

The heartfelt interview with Sharon was recorded in June 2025, just weeks prior to Ozzy’s passing on July 22, aged 76, due to complications from Parkinson’s disease.
