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

Sharon Osbourne first revealed the “plan” in her 2007 memoir Survivor: My Story—The Next Chapter, as she expressed her fear of contracting dementia as her own father had.

“If this disease is to be my fate, I don’t want to repeat history and go through what my father has gone through,” she wrote then. “I’ve discussed it with my family, and we have a plan in place. My kids would take me to Switzerland where euthanasia is legal, and you can die with dignity.”

Sharon Osbourne confirmed the plan later that year in an interview in a local media that she and her husband “have drawn up plans to go to the assisted suicide flat in Switzerland if we ever have an illness that affects our brains.” She explained, “If Ozzy or I ever got Alzheimer’s, that’s it—we’d be off. We gathered the kids around the kitchen table, told them our wishes and they’ve all agreed to go with it.”

However, their daughter, Kelly Osbourne insists that there’s no such plan when it comes to her parents’ so-called pact. Earlier this month, she clapped back at social media commenters who insisted that the Osbourne patriarch was dying. “My dad’s not dying. Stop,” she wrote to her Instagram Stories at the time. She added, “Stop making articles or posts about how you think my parents are having a suicide pact. That was bulls–t my mom said to get attention one time.”

Ozzy Osbourne revealed he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2019, which limited his mobility over time and required several surgeries to his spine. A cause of death was not given when his family announced he had died on Tuesday.

During a 2023 podcast Jack Osbourne asked their parents whether euthanasia was “still a plan” for them, both remained unmoved about their pact. “Do you think that we’re gonna suffer” instead?” Sharon Osbourne replied. “Mental suffering is enough pain without physical. So, if you’ve got mental and physical, see ya!”
