Ozzy Osbourne was very close to his longtime guitarist, Zakk Wylde. The legendary Black Sabbath singer died in July, just 17 days after his final performance with Wylde at the Back to the Beginning show, but their bond will never be broken. Osbourne, who was godfather to Wylde\u2019s eldest son, may even be leaving his beloved friend signs from beyond.<\/p>\n
On Sept. 12, Osbourne\u2019s widow, Sharon, broke her social media silence by posting imagery from her new falconry hobby. She captioned a video<\/a> that showed her and her daughter, Kelly, in a field with gorgeous birds flying to them, with, \u201cThe connection you make with these powerful birds is built entirely on trust and confidence. They\u2019ll choose to perch on you only if they sense you are safe and unafraid of them. It\u2019s a bond I know all too well, and the experience was nothing short of magical.\u201d<\/p>\n In the comment section, Wylde\u2019s wife, Barbaranne, made a touching revelation. \u201cI love this so much for you and Kelly and now it makes perfect sense to me why Ozzy keeps leaving Zakk and I feathers. Every single day,\u201d she wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n This is not the first time Barbaranne has commented on the feathers she has seen daily since Osbourne\u2019s death on July 22.<\/p>\n During an appearance on the Honest AF podcast<\/a> in August, she talked about Osbourne\u2019s death. \u201cThe people that left you, they don\u2019t want you to be sad,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd every single day, I know this is my witchy\u2026.Jack [Osbourne] said, \u2018my dad was a little witchy\u2019, and he was for sure. But it’s that thing, like every single day since he passed from the morning that Jack called me, I have found a feather in my path or Zakk has. And it’s the craziest thing because he loved my feather tattoo. And I’m like…even Zakk is just like, we have to start a book or keep them somehow because it’s crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cEvery single day we wake up and it’s like in my purse or at the front door on the balcony,\u201d she added. \u201cIt’s just astounding. You know, and it was like very funny, too, because his sense of humor was just off the charts.\u201d<\/p>\n \ud83c\udfac<\/strong>SIGN UP for Parade’s Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox<\/strong><\/a>\ud83c\udfac<\/strong><\/p>\n Barbaranne also shared stories of Osbourne\u2019s \u201cpresence\u201d at his funeral. She revealed that her husband played an acoustic version of Osbourne\u2019s song, \u201cMama I\u2019m Coming Home,” at the private service, but messed up one part of the song after flawlessly practicing it dozens of times earlier.<\/p>\n \u201cHe messed up the verse during the funeral, and he just giggled and then just continued on, and we were like, \u2018Oh, it’s Ozzy f—ing with him,'” she said.<\/p>\n In addition, Barbaranne revealed that when Kelly Osbourne sang at the funeral, the gloomy sky turned bright blue. \u201cBut she had her lyrics on a music stand, and a gust of wind came and just blew them off and over,” she recalled. “And we were just laughing, we\u2019re like it was Ozzy\u2019s little contribution to having some fun with her and some fun with Zakk.\u201d<\/p>\n Zakk Wylde previously shared details on his final text exchange with Osbourne.<\/p>\n Speaking to Guitar World<\/a> in July, Wylde said he didn\u2019t get a chance to say goodbye to Osbourne after Back to the Beginning because so many people were there.<\/p>\n \u201cEverybody and their mother were in the backstage dressing room, and I just wanted to give him a break,\u201d Wylde said. \u201cI figured we\u2019d see him later on \u2014 the next day or whatever. But no. The last text I got from Oz was saying, ‘Zakky, sorry, it was like a madhouse back there. I didn\u2019t see you.\u2019 He goes, \u2018Thanks for everything.\u2019 It was just us talking, saying, \u2018I love you, buddy.\u2019 That was it.\u201d<\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Parade<\/a> on Sep 13, 2025, where it first appeared in the News<\/a> section.
