A post shared by Sharon Osbourne (@sharonosbourne)

“Your comments, posts, and tributes have brought me more comfort than you know. None of it has gone unnoticed, in fact, it’s carried me through many nights.”

The comment section of the post is brimming with over 10 thousand messages of support and sorrow, an astounding demonstration of the scope of the Osbourne’s appreciation and respect.

Sharon was seen publicly in July as fans flooded to the streets of Birmingham and swarmed the Black Sabbath Bridge to show their solidarity and compassion at Ozzy’s funeral procession.

The instagram post included a video of Sharon partaking in falconry, a bond from human to another, which she says knows all too well.

Sharon continued: “Though I’m still finding my footing, I wanted to share some glorious creatures I had the chance to spend an afternoon with.”

Sharon continued by saying: “The connection you make with these powerful birds is built entirely on trust and confidence. They’ll choose to perch on you only if they sense you are safe and unafraid of them. It’s a bond I know all too well, and the experience was nothing short of magical.”

Their daughter Kelly recently shared an instagram story praising falconry for helping her deal with her grief.  “In all my sadness & grief I have found something that truly makes me happy! I never thought I would find my smile again through falconry but I did. I absolutely love being with the birds!” Said the 40 year old. 

Kelly said that her mum loved it, and that it “put a smile on her face”

The former X Factor judge concluded her caption with a heartfelt thank you to her fans:  “I love you all, and I thank you deeply for the otherworldly amount of love you continue to send my way.”

The track from West’s latest project, ‘Carnival’ seems to feature a brief guitar riff from the Black Sabbath track: ‘Iron Man’. Although the original version of ‘Carnival’ was intended to use Black Sabbath’s iconic ‘Iron Man’ riff, the live show switched this sample to one from West’s own discography. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy’s ‘Hell of a Life’ was used in place of ‘Iron Man’. However, ‘Hell of a Life’ is itself an interpolation of Black Sabbath’s ‘Iron Man’. Speaking on social media Osbourne said: “Kanye West asked permission to sample a section of a 1983 live performance of ‘Iron Man’ from the US festival without vocals and was refused because he is an antisemite”.

. @KANYEWEST ASKED PERMISSION TO SAMPLE A SECTION OF A 1983 LIVE PERFORMANCE OF “IRON MAN” FROM THE US FESTIVAL WITHOUT VOCALS & WAS REFUSED PERMISSION BECAUSE HE IS AN ANTISEMITE AND HAS CAUSED UNTOLD HEARTACHE TO MANY. HE WENT AHEAD AND USED THE SAMPLE ANYWAY AT HIS ALBUM…

Kanye West, as of late, has continually entrenched himself in controversy surrounding his frequent antisemitic outbursts. Speaking last year with far-right conspiracy theorist, Alex Jones, West said: “I see good things about Hitler.” Elaborating further, West doubled down by saying: “Every human being has something of value that they brought to the table, especially Hitler”. Kanye West has spent the last year surrounding himself with far-right personalities like the aforementioned Jones, who has recently lost a court case after he popularised a conspiracy theory that suggested that a 2012 shooting that took place in Connecticut’s Sandy Hook Elementary school was a hoax.

Other associates of West include Nick Fuentes, a far-right ethno-nationalist who is recognised by the Anti-Defamation League as a holocaust denier. As reported by Politico, both West and Fuentes attended a dinner hosted by former Republican president Donald Trump in late 2022. West has been a vocal supporter of Donald Trump since 2016. Although not Jewish himself, Ozzy’s wife Sharron Osbourne has gone on record with The Jewish Chronicle to say: “My family, my father’s family, my aunt, my cousins, are all Jewish.” In this light, Ozzy Osbourne’s statement that Kanye West’s antisemitic behaviour “has caused untold heartache to many” appears to have affected him on a personal level.

Although Kanye West posted an apology in Hebrew to his twitter page in late 2023 that read: “I sincerely apologise to the Jewish community for any unintended outburst caused by my words or actions.”, West continues to portray himself as an antisemite. Last night’s listening party livestream was cut short after the rapper said: “I’m still crazy, bipolar, antisemite, and I’m still the king”.

Despite his stance against West, Osbourne is not without his own political controversies. In a 1982 interview with Night Flight, a now-defunct American variety show, Osbourne stated that he got his ideas for his live performances from “Adolf Hitler”. The singer went on to say that: “Hitler had a charisma in a bad way and I kind of admired him. He was a freak; he was a lunatic, but he had something about him”.

Whether or not Osbourne’s past comments should be taken seriously, it is clear that he is attempting to distance himself from the antisemitism espoused by Kanye West, signing his tweet off by saying: “I want no association with this man [Kanye West].”

It will see discussions of the highs, lows, and the paranormal. In a recent interview with Rollingstone, Kelly Osbourne said “It’s not like a TV show, we can say do whatever we want.”

The idea to start up the podcast for a new season, came after Ozzy Osbourne announced on Twitter his retirement back in February 2023, due to numerous health conditions.

Despite Ozzy Osbourne’s health-related difficulties, he will kick off the first individual podcast, with his longtime friend Billy Morrison. They touch on topics from food to Black Sabbath days and even on aliens, a popular subject choice for Ozzy.

Kelly will be hosting, The Gay, The Bitch and The Wardrobe. Jack is set to present his podcast on all things paranormal and Sharon will be discussing all the hot gossip and trends in her pop culture podcast.

Family podcasts will indulge their audiences with guest stars including  Melissa Rivers (Joan River’s Daughter), Adam Corolla, and Margaret Cho.

Sharon tells Rollingstone in her interview“It’s just so natural for us just to talk all the time. So why not do a podcast?”
