The real reason behind Sharon Osbourne’s absence from her late husband Ozzy Osbourne’s monument dedication has finally been uncovered. The 73-year-old music manager was reportedly forced to skip the milestone event after experiencing a sudden medical emergency that required immediate hospitalization.
The bittersweet tribute comes in the wake of the legendary Black Sabbath frontman’s passing last year, when he suffered a fatal cardiac arrest at the age of 76.
