It’s clear that his wife of many decades has been impacted far harder by his passing. Despite the innumerable highs and lows of their life together, Ozzy and Sharon’s intense love and dedication to one another have endured.
Friends worry that Sharon Osbourne is not strong enough to handle a large funeral or memorial service for Ozzy in her frail state and would prefer to have him buried near her in their home’s garden. Unfortunately, death has ripped apart what years of addiction and personal struggles could not.
The Daily Mail was told by a source, He ultimately passed away quietly at home, surrounded by his entire family. Sharon wanted to bring him back from Los Angeles, and the house is beautiful.
I’m not sure whether she’ll have the strength to organize a large memorial service for everyone who want to bid him farewell.
We believe she could prefer to bury him in the garden of her house, in secret.
Ozzy was originally introduced to Sharon Osbourne in 1979 by her father, who was the former manager of Black Sabbath. They were married three years after falling in love at first sight.
Ozzy died quietly in the company of his loved ones. His family released a statement saying, “We must report with more sadness than words can express that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne passed away this morning.”
He was surrounded by affection and with his family.
At the recent farewell show, Ozzy fronted Black Sabbath, the band he loved and with which he conquered the world, one final time despite Parkinson’s disease severely impairing his speech and mobility.
A flurry of tributes from well-known people from all areas of life greeted his departure.
The husband of Sharon Osbourne was a tremendous pathfinder who cemented his place in the pantheon of rock gods, according to Sir Elton John.
Sir David Beckham wrote: Ozzy leaving us makes me very sad. We appreciate your entertainment. Love is being sent to Sharon, the children, and the family.
Ozzy Osbourne is the best of all time, according to singer Yungblud, who expressed his heartbreak.
Sir Rod Stewart, meanwhile, advised Ozzy to have a good night’s sleep and added, “I’ll see you up there later rather than sooner.”
According to a source in The Sun, a bigger, more public service might be planned after Ozzy Osbourne is buried in a modest, private funeral at his estate.
“There are talks about a celebration of his life in Birmingham, the city that meant so much to him,” they clarified.
It is anticipated that musicians like Yungblud, who Ozzy viewed as a musician capable of continuing the legacy he established so many years ago, will play a part.
Thousands of fans would line the streets to bid him farewell, and hundreds of well-known people would want to honor him and celebrate his life and legacy.
