Sharon Osbourne made a surprise appearance to a pub in her late husband Ozzy Osbourne’s hometown of Birmingham, where she poured a pint and chugging down a light ale to remember her man.
Sharon Osbourne stunned pub-goers by pouring a pint and chugging a beer in her late husband Ozzy Osbourne’s hometown.
The 73-year-old star rocked up at Merlin’s Cafe Bar in Birmingham, central England, to take a sip of light-golden ale Hobsons Brewery’s Patient Number 9, which was released on July 22nd – the first anniversary of the Black Sabbath star’s death – to mark the inaugural Ozzy Day.
A video posted on the Merlin’s Café Bar Instagram page saw Sharon grab a bottle from the fridge, before opening it and chugging some down.
The caption read: “STILL NOT OVER THIS: SHARON OSBOURNE ACCEPTED A JOB AT MERLIN’S!
“During the incredible buildup to World Ozzy Day on July 22nd, we had the absolute privilege of welcoming rock royalty herself, @sharonosbourne Sharon Osbourne, through our doors at Merlin’s Café Bar.
”While showing her around, pouring her a bottle of Patient Number 9, and showing off our memorial wall, Martin cheekily asked if she fancied joining the crew and taking a shift behind the bar…
…and without skipping a beat, SHE SAID YES! (sic)”
The bar have even offered Sharon a job if she is ever looking for work.
They added: “What an unforgettable, funny, and utterly surreal experience for our staff, customers, and friends who were in the building to witness it. Mrs. O officially gets the Merlin’s stamp of approval (and her apron is waiting whenever she wants to start)!
”To Sharon, the Osbourne family, and the entire heavy metal community who made last week so magical – thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
“God bless you, @ozzyosbourne ! (sic)”
On Ozzy Day last month, Sharon urged fans to “yank up the music really loud” to remember the Crazy Train hitmaker.
She told BBC Radio WM: “As Ozzy would say, ‘when you want to remember me, just yank up the music really loud, as loud as you can get it, and just head bang.’ “
Sharon also wanted everyone to “remember how funny he was – funny and charismatic and real”.
She added: “He was authentic. He never tried to be anything other than what he was, and he would tell you the truth about everything and that was him, you knew where you were with him.
“He was just genuine, so genuine and funny.
“I mean we could have the worst arguments in the world but we would end up laughing because he would say something so ridiculous that we would just crack up.”
Sharon was among those left devastated when heavy metal icon Ozzy died in July last year aged 76 following a battle with a string of illnesses and heath problems including a battle with Parkinson’s disease.
The Prince of Darkness, whose career helped define heavy metal before he later reached a new audience through MTV reality series The Osbournes, died two weeks after performing a farewell concert with his band Black Sabbath in his hometown of Birmingham.
