Kelly Osbourne has candidly shared her ongoing emotional struggles following the death of her father, legendary rocker Ozzy Osbourne, just as the music world prepares to honour him at the upcoming Grammy Awards ceremony.
Grammys to Honour Black Sabbath Icon
The 68th Annual Grammy Awards, taking place this Sunday in Los Angeles, will feature a special memorial tribute to Ozzy Osbourne, who passed away in July at the age of 76. The performance will see an all-star lineup including Post Malone, Andrew Watt, Chad Smith, Duff McKagan, and Slash take to the stage to celebrate the Black Sabbath frontman's immense musical legacy.
Kelly's Emotional Red Carpet Admission
Attending the ceremony with her mother Sharon Osbourne, Kelly spoke openly on the red carpet about the profound significance of the tribute. "It means more than I can express into words," she revealed, adding, "It'll be very emotional. I'm here to support my mum."
When questioned about how she has been coping in the months since her father's passing, Kelly offered a raw and honest response. "I'm not doing so great," she admitted, providing a glimpse into the personal toll of her loss.
Navigating Grief and Legacy
Reflecting on the impact of Ozzy's death, Kelly described it as "the hardest thing I've ever been through in my life." She emphasised the family's commitment to honouring his memory, stating, "We're doing everything we can to live in his legacy and be happy."
Kelly has previously spoken of her close bond with her father, often referring to him as her best friend, which underscores the depth of her current grief. The Grammy tribute represents not just a public celebration of Ozzy Osbourne's career but a poignant moment for the family as they continue their private mourning process.
The ceremony promises to be a bittersweet occasion, blending musical homage with personal remembrance as the Osbourne family and the wider music community come together to commemorate one of rock's most iconic figures.
