Six-Metre Ozzy Osbourne Statue Unveiled at Hellfest as Sharon Osbourne Misses Ceremony Due to Hospital Visit

The monument reinforces public memorials for the late singer while the family pursues plans to preserve his persona through reported AI projects.

Overview

  • Hellfest in Clisson, France unveiled a six-metre stone statue of Ozzy Osbourne this week that was created by French artist Philippe Pasqua and is engraved with Ozzy’s slogan “Let the madness begin.”
  • Sharon Osbourne said she was unable to attend the unveiling because of an unexpected trip to the hospital earlier in the week and has not publicly disclosed further medical details.
  • Sharon and son Jack have announced work on a reported AI-generated Ozzy avatar in partnership with Hyperreal and Proto Hologram that aims to recreate his voice, image and movement, according to earlier reporting.
  • The Osbourne family continues public commemorations and private observances, with Kelly and Jack planning personal tributes for Father’s Day while asking for privacy around Sharon’s health.
  • Hellfest has previously commissioned large memorials for rock figures such as Lemmy Kilmister in 2022, and Ozzy’s death in July 2025 was later linked to cardiac events and Parkinson’s disease.
