Voicemail Tribute from President Trump
Following the death of legendary rock musician Ozzy Osbourne on July 22, 2023, President Donald Trump reached out to the Osbourne family with a heartfelt voicemail. The message was shared during an episode of "The Osbournes" podcast, where Sharon Osbourne, along with her children Jack and Kelly, discussed their grief and the support they received from fans and notable figures. In the voicemail, Trump expressed his condolences, stating, “Ozzy was amazing. He was an amazing guy. I met him a few times and I want to tell you he was unique in every way and talented.” He concluded by offering his support, saying, “Take care of yourself, say hello to the family.”
Sharon Osbourne's Response
Sharon Osbourne expressed her gratitude for Trump's gesture, noting that it was a personal act of kindness rather than a political statement. She remarked, “For him to take his time to do that for us… he doesn’t live in a bubble. He knows what’s going on in the streets.” Sharon, who previously appeared on Trump's reality show "Celebrity Apprentice" in 2010, described him as “just a great guy to talk to” and emphasized that he treated her and her family with respect. She stated, “He wanted nothing from us. Nothing. Melania, the same. Nothing.”
The Impact of Ozzy's Death
Ozzy Osbourne's passing has left a significant void in the music world and among his family. The Osbournes have received an outpouring of support, including condolences from King Charles, who sent a handwritten note expressing his sympathies. Sharon reflected on the overwhelming love they have received, stating, “The world didn’t just love Ozzy. The world loves your entire family.”
Criticism & Opposition
Despite the positive sentiments expressed by Sharon Osbourne regarding Trump, it is noteworthy that she has previously criticized him. In 2016, she described Trump's demeanor as “not dignified,” and in 2019, both she and Ozzy denounced the Trump campaign's use of his song “Crazy Train” in a political video. Sharon acknowledged the divisive nature of politics, saying, “When it comes to politics, we know nobody comes out a winner.”
