Music icon Ozzy Osbourne and wife Sharon were married more than 40 years, but a violent confrontation in 1989 almost drove them apart for good.

Sharon Osbourne’s declaration that she and husband Ozzy Osbourne had a suicide pact is receiving new interest after the legendary rocker’s death on Tuesday morning at age 76.

The two-time Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee was a distant relative of Stephen Colbert and some of the people who died in the 79 AD eruption of Italy’s Mount Vesuvius.

Despite the couple's rock 'n' roll lifestyle — and Ozzy Osbourne's well-publicized struggles with substance abuse and addiction — they were committed to spending the rest of their lives together, Sharon Osbourne revealed during a September 2022 interview with People.

That was bulls–t my mom said to get attention one time. And my dad’s not dying. Stop,” she insisted earlier this month.

Ozzy Osbourne’s farewell was nearly canceled until Sharon reportedly struck a bold backstage deal that let him rock one last time.
