Sharon Osbourne has revealed she didn’t want to live anymore after her husband Ozzy passed away.
The Black Sabbath legend died of heart failure at his Buckinghamshire home on July 22 aged 76, just three weeks after performing a farewell gig with his bandmates in his hometown.
In a heart wrenching interview with Piers Morgan: Uncensored on Wednesday, Sharon, 73, spoke of what stopped her from ‘going with Ozzy’.
The television personality revealed it was the love for her children; Aimee, 42, Kelly, 41, and Jack, 40, which stopped her.
She said through tears: ‘I would have just gone with Ozzy… Oh, yeah, definitely, I’ve done everything I wanted to do…
‘But they’ve been, they’ve been, excuse me, unbelievably, just magnificent with me, all three of them.’

Piers asked: ‘They’re the reason, and their kids are the reason why you’ve got to hang in there?’
The former X Factor judge replied: ‘Years ago, when I had one of my mental breakdowns, I went into a little facility to help with my head.
‘And there were two girls over there – they didn’t know each other, but they were in there, each mother had committed suicide, and I saw the state that these two young women were in and what it had done to their lives, and I thought, I will never, ever, ever do that to my kids.’
She added: ‘Grief has now become my friend… Is it very weird to me, you know, when you love someone that much and you’re grieving for them, it’s what I have to live with, and I’ll get used to it. I will, I have to, you know, things move on.’
Sharon said she is unsure what to do with her life now Ozzy is gone and visits his grave every day.
She said: ‘You know, each day I go, “What am I going to do with myself? What the f**k am I going to do?” I’ve been going through all these diaries… He went into rehab.
‘What year was it, ‘84 and that’s where they told him every day, you journal. He kept it up. He journaled, went back to drinking.’
She added the content was ‘sad’ because ‘he would put himself down a lot, in his journaling’.

It comes after last week Sharon and her daughter Kelly posted touching tributes to Ozzy on the late rocker’s birthday
Ozzy was buried in grounds of the family estate, underneath a crabapple tree.
Sharon visits the site every day to talk to him.
‘Everybody goes down there and has a chat with him. I burn several candles in the house, that are always replaced. It’s never without candles, by his pictures and just in the house,’ she said.
‘It’s an ache that you wake up with, and you can’t get rid of that ache. It’s like a big hole inside of you, and the kids feel exactly the same way, and it’s just, what do you do? It’s inevitable that it happens to all of us.’
