Ozzy Osbourne's Funeral Wishes
Ozzy's funeral arrangements may reflect his own previously stated wishes about his final farewell. In a candid 2011 interview with The Times, Ozzy shared his thoughts on how he wanted to be remembered.
"There'll be no harping on the bad times," Ozzy explained. "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."
The heavy metal pioneer emphasized his desire for celebration over mourning. "That's why I don't want my funeral to be sad, I want it to be a time to say 'thanks'."
