Fifteen months after the death of Ozzy Osbourne, the Black Sabbath frontman whose voice and theatrics shaped generations of rock, his widow Sharon has spoken of a grief that has settled into daily ritual. She walks, in a sense, to the family garden where he rests, and speaks to him as though the distance between them were only a matter of a few steps. Her account, shared in the year after a loss that came at home in Buckinghamshire, reminds us how public figures carry private mourning, and how a final performance can become a kind of last word that the living must learn to hold.

Sharon Osbourne has said she visits Ozzy's grave every day. From her window she can see the spot in the family garden where he was laid to rest, and she still talks to him, as she always did.
Ozzy died at his home in Buckinghamshire at the age of 76. His health had been fragile for years, through Parkinson's disease and a fractured vertebra, but the heart attack that took him came only weeks after his farewell concert at Villa Park with Black Sabbath. For Sharon, that Birmingham night was his last wish, and keeping faith with it has become part of how she carries the loss.
Now a documentary, Back To The Beginning, is set to bring more than 25 songs from the concert to a wider audience. For a family still in mourning, it is both a tribute and a reminder of how much of him remains in the world.
