Ozzy Osbourne’s Unforgettable Proposal Story In Kalamazoo

The world is still in shock as we discovered it on July 22, Ozzy Osbourne passed away at the age of 76.  His career began with the formation of Black Sabbath, which he was a part of until he was fired from the band on April 27, 1979. Luckily for Ozzy Osbourne, he was already becoming very well known and had already started his solo project, having already released Blizzard of Ozz.

It was also around this time that he met Sharon Levy, who would go on to be his manager from the Arden organization. But it was a few years later that Ozzie officially began his life with her when he proposed to her, and what better way and place to propose to her than in the town that was Home to the Gibson guitar, Kalamazoo, Michigan.

Ozzy Proposed To Sharon In Kalamazoo

Back in 2015, Sharon Osborne shared a photo, which leaves a lot of open ends, but leaves no mistake that they made it official in Kalamazoo in 1981.

But where did he pop the question, and how did he do it? There are plenty of people from Kalamazoo who commented on the post asking just where this took place and everybody has been coming up with their own answers.

Everything from Wings Stadium, the hotel, to the State Theater, to the Mermaid Lounge, to even one very descriptive, yet not so reliable answer:

It was on the corner of Clark Street and Westnedge on the light post by the curb 3 o'clock in the morning cold and windy and snowy day February 4, 1981.

Regardless of where it took place, it’s amazing that they’re beautiful story began here in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and maybe it will inspire Sharon to revisit the city at some point in the future to remember him.

Ozzy was personally responsible for inspiring countless musicians and people in the heavy metal and rock ' n ' roll community, and will definitely go down as a legend and the greatest of all time for his contributions to heavy metal.
