On the anniversary of Ozzy Osbourne's death, Sharon asks fans to "play music loud to remember Ozzy."
In a rare interview with BBC Radio WM, Sharon said that she wanted people to remember how "funny and charismatic and real" Ozzy was.
"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 said in the interview.
Speaking about her late husband, Sharon said: "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," she continued.
Sharon was recently in her late husband's hometown of Birmingham as the city prepares for the first ever Ozzy Day, a free celebration of the heavy metal pioneer.
The celebrations taking place today allow fans to "explore landmarks linked to the Aston-born musician, enjoy live performances, look at exhibitions dedicated to his career and share memories of the rock icon," according to the BBC.
The events in place for today include: a Bostin Brass performance, fans memories of Ozzy, a special orchestral salute show, exhibitions of a working-class hero, Black Sabbath trail and an Ozzy walk.
