Ozzy Osbourne's Shocking Apple Addiction Revealed
31 May
Summary
- Ozzy Osbourne developed a strong craving for Pink Lady apples.
- He consumed up to 12 apples nightly in his final months.
- His posthumous memoir details this unusual habit.
Ozzy Osbourne's final memoir, titled Last Rites, published on October 7, 2025, details an unexpected and peculiar habit from his last years: a profound fixation on Pink Lady apples.
According to excerpts shared by The Times, this unusual craving began in Osbourne's final months in Los Angeles before he returned to England. He described nights where he would eat as many as 12 Pink Lady apples, emphasizing they had to be from the Erewhon grocery store and delivered without any bruising.
The memoir also touches upon how these habits could escalate, even when unrelated to drugs or alcohol, with Osbourne humorously referring to himself as a recovered "appleaholic." This detail had previously surfaced on The Osbournes Podcast, where family members discussed his significant daily apple consumption.
Last Rites explores Osbourne's final years, including his health battles, his marriage to Sharon Osbourne, and his farewell concert with Black Sabbath on July 5, 2025. Osbourne passed away on July 22, 2025, at age 76, with his death certificate citing heart attack, coronary artery disease, and Parkinson's disease.
