“I’m sorry I couldn’t be at Hellfest for the unveiling of Ozzy’s statue,” she wrote.
“Unfortunately, I had an unexpected trip to the hospital earlier in the week. A big thank you Olivier Garnier, Ben Barbaud, and everyone at Hellfest. Special thank you to @philippe_pasqua_officiel for the absolutely stunning statue!”

Sharon Osbourne accused of ‘cashing in’ on Ozzy
Back in April, Sharon came under fire after announcing plans for a new AI-powered avatar of Ozzy that will tour the UK.
“I’ve seen the tests that they’ve done of Ozzy, and you can see every pore on his face, his beard’s coming through, it’s that detailed,” she said on BBC Radio WM.
“It’s going to go around the world, we’re going to take it around the world, but it has to be in Birmingham first,” she said.
However, the fan backlash was intense.
“More money grabbing from @MrsSOsbourne,” one fan fumed.
“I am not surprised that the Osborne leeches are jumping on the bandwagon,” another said.
“Sharon trying to cash in on the name a little bit more? Why doesn’t she just auction off his body parts?” a third wrote.
