Sharon Osbourne, along with children Jack and Kelly Osbourne – who also appeared with her fiancé, Slipknot’s Sid Wilson – visited the Ozzy ‘pumpkin pyramid’ at Sunnyfields Farm in Totton, Hampshire, on Saturday evening (October 11).

The family were given a guided tour by Sunnyfields owners, Tom and Ian Nelson, and both Jack and Sharon were all seen boarding a cherry picker to get a bird’s-eye view of the Ozzy mural.

Each year, the farm build a mural from pumpkins – the subject of which is decided by public vote. Previously, they have completed designs based on the films Beetlejuice, Paddington and The Nightmare Before Christmas, the latter of which won a Guinness World Record for the largest cucurbit mural.

This year, the annual poll saw 70 per cent of the public vote for an Ozzy-themed mural in the wake of his passing in July, aged 76, just 17 days after the iconic singer played one last show as the frontman of the metal band at the ‘Back To The Beginning’ concert in Birmingham. It was Osbourne’s first full gig since 2018, having undergone multiple surgeries in the following years. He also experienced other health problems, including Parkinson’s disease.

On display since October 4, Sunnyfields’ Ozzy mural took 16 people four-and-a-half hours to create and will run until Halloween on October 31. You can watch a video of the mural being created, and the Osbourne’s visiting, below.

Recently, Jack Osbourne said the final Black Sabbath show became a “living wake” for his late father Ozzy Osbourne.

Speaking to Good Morning America he shared his memories of being present for the final show. “Before he went on stage, I ran back into the dressing room and I just gave him a big hug and I just kissed him and I just said, ‘Crush it, you’re going to do so good’,” he explained.

“I was in the crowd and I was with my brother and we both were just crying – it wasn’t because of feeling sorry for him, it wasn’t because we were sad for him, I think it was because we knew it was the last time…In hindsight, it kind of was a living wake, if you think about it. He got to say goodbye to everyone.”

The final stage of Osbourne’s life has been captured in the new BBC documentary Sharon & Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home, which is available to watch on the BBC iPlayer for UK viewers here.

In poignant scenes at the end of the doc, Ozzy reflects on the experience of playing in front of 44,000 people for one final time. “The only thing I really got… what was terribly frustrating for me, I had to sit there instead of running across the stage,” he said. “That was fucking torture, because I wanted to get off that [chair] so much.”

He continued: “It was very humbling, to sit in that chair for nine songs. What a great way to go out, that gig was.”

Another new documentary, Ozzy: No Escape From Now, details the Prince Of Darkness’ final six years is available to stream on Paramount+ now. Osbourne’s memoir Last Rites was also published last week (October 7) and included Ozzy speaking about a heart problem days before his passing and how the late Friends actor Matthew Perry once attended AA meetings at the Osbourne’s house. 

Last month, Sharon thanked fans for their “overwhelming love and support” and said she was “still finding my footing” following her husband’s passing. Jack had previously shared a “personal note” about his father in a video on his YouTube channel, while Kelly explained how she had found her “smile again” amid the “sadness and grief”.
