Dead Man Refuses To Be Sad: Ozzy Osbourne’s Final Wish Was For A Joyful Send‑Off

Before he passed away at the age of 76, Ozzy Osbourne made his burial arrangements public.

Ozzy’s family confirmed his passing in a heartfelt letter earlier this week.

It read: “It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love.”

“We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.”

Ozzy received a Parkinson’s disease diagnosis back in 2019. Parkinson’s disease is a neurological disorder that worsens over time and damages various parts of the brain.

Ozzy once stated that he didn’t want the occasion to be depressing, however his funeral arrangements have not yet been made public.

“There’ll be no harping on the bad times,” he wrote in a column for The Times back in 2011 when a fan wrote in asking about planning his own funeral.

“It’s worth remembering that a lot of people see nothing but misery their whole lives, so by any measure, most of us in this country – especially rock stars like me – are very lucky.”

“That’s why I don’t want my funeral to be sad, I want it to be a time to say ‘Thanks’.”

Ozzy also said he didn’t care what music they played, adding: “I honestly don’t care what they play at my funeral; they can put on a medley of Justin Bieber, Susan Boyle, and We Are the Diddymen if it makes ’em happy.”

However, Ozzy clarified in a subsequent interview with NME that he would pick “A Day In The Life” by the Beatles.

He added: “I really need a few more years to think this over, but probably something from Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band or Revolver.”

“I definitely don’t want my f**king greatest hits album – I never ever play that thing, I’m f**king embarrassed about it. And I definitely don’t want a f**king happy song – I’m dead.”

Aimee, Kelly, and Jack, as well as Ozzy’s wife Sharon, are left behind. In addition, his grandkids and Jessica and Louis, from his previous marriage to Thelma Riley, survive him.

Before he died, Sharon arranged for Ozzy to play with Black Sabbath at the Back to the Beginning benefit concert in his hometown in the UK, which raised $189 million for charity.

“The only place that we could do it would have been Aston, because that’s where Ozzy was born and grew up, which is right where the Villa ground is,” Sharon told Music Business Worldwide.

“I thought of having all the bands he’s ever had relationships with perform and maybe do Sabbath songs and Ozzy songs. It became a celebration of the music.”

“All the generations are going to be there that Sabbath and Ozzy have passed the torch down to.”

After performing at the concert, Ozzy told fans: “You’ve no idea how I feel – thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
