Sharon's last act of love for Ozzy

Rocker's wife fought for farewell show to go ahead

Ozzy Osbourne’s final performance in his home city almost never happened, we can reveal.

The rock legend was warned that insurers would not cover the show if he pursued his dream of standing to say goodbye to his devoted fans.

But Ozzy’s determined wife Sharon waged a secret battle with the insurance agents and overcome any potential issues by seating the Black Sabbath frontman in a throne for his five solo tracks and four Sabbath tunes.
