A six-meter-tall statue of Ozzy Osbourne (1948 – 2025) was unveiled at the 2026 edition of Hellfest Open Air Festival, taking place through June 21 in Clisson, France. The statue was created by French contemporary artist, Philippe Pasqua.
Ozzy’s widow, Sharon Osbourne, shared the post below, writing, “I’m sorry I couldn’t be at Hellfest for the unveiling of Ozzy’s statue. Unfortunately I had an unexpected trip to the hospital earlier in the week. A big thank you Olivier Garnier, Ben Barbaud and everyone at Hellfest. Special thank you to @philippe_pasqua_officiel for the absolutely stunning statue!” 🙏
As the pioneering celebrity reality series The Osbournes approaches its 25th anniversary next year, Sharon and Jack Osbourne were on the ground at Licensing Expo in Las Vegas to discuss opportunities to grow and maintain the heavy metal trailblazer’s legacy, reports Animation Magazine.
Speaking to License Global, Sharon shared, “We are in talks with a company now about doing a cartoon of The Osbournes, and it would open up a whole younger audience.”
“Nostalgia is the key word these days, so I think it just, you know, leans a lot in there,” Jack added. “Since we started distributing the show again there’s a whole new audience out there for it.”
