What Ozzy Osbourne Wanted for His Funeral
Ozzy had one simple request for his funeral: for it to be a positive occasion, not a “sad” event, he told The Times in a 2011 Q&A.
“It’s worth remembering that a lot of people see nothing but misery their whole lives,” the “Crazy Train” hitmaker pointed out. “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.’”
He went on to note that he was open to having “some pranks” at his commemoration, such as “maybe the sound of knocking inside the coffin; or a video of me asking my doctor for a second opinion on his diagnosis of ‘death,’”
“I honestly don’t care what they play at my funeral,” Ozzy emphasized at the time, adding, “They can put on a medley of Justin Bieber, Susan Boyle and We Are the Diddymen if it makes ’em happy. But I do want to make sure it’s a celebration, not a mope-fest. … There’ll be no harping on the bad times. So to answer your question, yes, a bit of planning is the right thing to do for the family you leave behind.”
