And in true Ozzy style, even his humorous side never faded. During a 2020 appearance on Good Morning Britain, when asked how he wanted to be remembered, he answered with a wink and a joke—reminding everyone of his playful, unforgettable personality.
Following his passing, Ozzy’s family worked quickly to carry out his wishes. The service, according to close friends, is expected to include heartfelt tributes, favorite songs, and a few lighthearted moments in Ozzy’s honor. It’s reported that rose petals will fall as A Day in the Life plays, and a surprise audio recording will greet mourners with Ozzy’s unmistakable voice and wit. The inscription on his coffin? A fitting tribute: “Still Screaming After All These Years.”
While moments of sadness are inevitable, those who knew him say Ozzy would have wanted people to laugh through their tears. His sisters, Jean Powell and Gillian Hemming, spoke of their love and pride for their brother. Jean remembered his determination and humor in his final messages, while Gillian noted that the Ozzy fans knew on stage was no different from the one they knew at home: kind, funny, and always finding joy in everyday life.
Though the world mourns the loss of a music icon, Ozzy’s final message is clear: life is meant to be lived fully, and even farewells can be a celebration. His legacy won’t be defined by sorrow, but by music, laughter, and the unforgettable energy he brought to every stage—right up to his last.
