In mid-June 2026, Sharon Osbourne<\/a> took to Instagram to reveal that she had unexpectedly suffered a medical scare, which was why she had to miss the unveiling of a statue of her late husband, Ozzy Osbourne<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m sorry I couldn\u2019t be at Hellfest for the unveiling of Ozzy\u2019s statue. Unfortunately, I had an unexpected trip to the hospital earlier in the week,\u201d she shared. While Osbourne did not go into detail about why she was hospitalized, she has been open about various health issues in the past.<\/p>\n Scroll down for everything we know about Osbourne\u2019s cancer history, weight loss, and more.<\/p>\n In 2002, Osbourne was diagnosed with colon cancer. She documented her journey with the disease on Season 2 of\u00a0The Osbournes<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n Osbourne received her diagnosis after a blood test revealed she was severely anemic, and doctors urged her to have a colonoscopy. She underwent surgery to remove a foot-long segment of her colon, then found out the cancer had spread to her lymph nodes, which prompted doctors to put her on weekly chemotherapy treatments for three months. By 2003, Osbourne was cancer-free.<\/p>\n However, in 2012 she opted to have a preventive double mastectomy after learning she had a genetic mutation that increased her risk of getting breast cancer. \u201cFor me, it wasn\u2019t a big decision. It was a no-brainer,\u201d she said at the time. \u201cI didn\u2019t want to live the rest of my life with that shadow hanging over me.\u201d<\/p>\n Osbourne has also been open about her depression diagnosis over the years. In 2016, she took a five-week hiatus from\u00a0The Talk<\/a><\/em> after reaching a \u201clow point\u201d where she \u201ccouldn\u2019t verbalize\u201d what was wrong with her. She spent time in a rehabilitation center to get help. Osbourne said she has attempted suicide in the past, including once in 2015 when she \u201ctook a whole bunch of pills,\u201d she told the celebrity.land<\/a>.<\/p>\n Less than four years before her 2026 hospitalization, Osbourne received medical attention in December 2022 while filming an episode of Night of Terror<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>with son Jack Osbourne<\/a>.<\/p>\nWhat was Sharon Osbourne diagnosed with?<\/h2>\n
