“Ozzy Osbourne’s widow Sharon in tears after hearing voicemail from Trump.”
Sharon Osbourne, widow of the late rock icon Ozzy Osbourne, was overcome with emotion after hearing a heartfelt voicemail left by former U.S. President Donald Trump. The message, which Sharon played publicly for the first time during the Osbourne family’s podcast, offered condolences following Ozzy’s death earlier this year and has drawn widespread attention for its unexpected sincerity.
Ozzy Osbourne, frontman of the legendary heavy metal band Black Sabbath, passed away on July 22, 2025, at age 76 after years of battling health issues, including Parkinson’s disease. His death marked the end of an era in rock music, leaving fans, friends, and fellow musicians mourning across the globe. During the family’s latest podcast episode, “The Osbournes,” Sharon, along with her children Jack and Kelly, reflected on their loss and shared how moved they were by the outpouring of support from both fans and public figures.
Among the many messages they received, one stood out: a voicemail from Donald Trump. The former president’s voice could be heard saying, “Hi Sharon, it’s Donald Trump. I just wanted to wish you the best and the family. Ozzy was amazing—I met him a few times, and I want to tell you he was unique in every way and talented. So I just wanted to wish you the best… whatever I can do. Take care of yourself. Say hello to the family. Thanks, bye.”
As the voicemail played, Sharon became visibly emotional. Fighting back tears, she said softly, “That’s really kind of him. He didn’t have to do that.” Her son Jack agreed, adding, “Love him or hate him, it was a kind gesture. He didn’t have to call.”
The moment was particularly striking because Sharon had previously worked with Trump during her stint on The Celebrity Apprentice in 2010. Despite the divisive nature of Trump’s political career, she made it clear that she appreciated the personal outreach, saying that both Trump and his wife Melania had always treated her and her family with respect.
“I’m not political,” Sharon explained. “I’m British, so I’ve never voted in America. But it’s nice when someone takes the time to show compassion. It means a lot when you’re grieving.”
In addition to Trump’s message, Sharon revealed that she had received a handwritten condolence letter from King Charles III, which she described as “lovely and deeply moving.” The combination of tributes from such different figures — from royalty to a former U.S. president — highlighted the global impact Ozzy Osbourne had throughout his life and career.
The segment struck a chord with listeners, many of whom praised Sharon for her grace and vulnerability in sharing such a personal moment. For the Osbournes, who have spent decades living their lives in the public eye, this emotional exchange served as a reminder of the man behind the music — a husband, father, and icon whose legacy continues to touch people across generations.
Through her tears, Sharon summed it up simply: “Ozzy would have laughed at all this attention. But he would have loved knowing people cared enough to reach out.”
