The Osbourne family gathered in silence, each step heavy with emotion. Sharon Osbourne leaned on her children Jack and Kelly as they made their way through a crowd of mourners and memories. In the middle of their pain, they took a moment to acknowledge the fans who had shown up to say goodbye. It was a quiet gesture filled with gratitude and heartbreak. The connection between the family and the people was raw, real, and deeply moving.
The love, admiration, and respect for the legendary Black Sabbath frontman are immeasurable. Thousands of fans filled the streets of Birmingham, the city where he was born, in a farewell that was emotional and impossible to put into words.
The procession made its way down one of the city’s main streets, Broad Street, in the late singer’s hometown, ending at the Black Sabbath Bridge. There, on the bench nearby, thousands of fans had left flowers and emotional messages over the past few days. A local brass band, Bostin’ Brass, performed live along the route, offering one final musical tribute to honor Ozzy’s extraordinary life and legacy.
A quiet tribute behind closed doors
Following the public tribute, it is not known whether today or tomorrow (July 31), the Osbourne family might hold a private, off-camera ceremony at the church in Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire, near their mansion known as Welders House in Jordans. These details come from British tabloids and have not been officially confirmed.
Reports suggest that Sharon and her children are considering either burial or cremation, with the intention of later laying Ozzy’s ashes to rest in the gardens of their home. The choice reflects a wish to keep his memory close in a private and meaningful place.
Ozzy Osbourne’s farewell combined public tribute with quiet family moments. His legacy lives on in the history of heavy metal and in the hearts of millions of fans worldwide.
