Rock icon Ozzy Osbourne has sent shockwaves through the music world by revealing his highly unconventional funeral plans. The Black Sabbath frontman, known as the Prince of Darkness, wants his final send-off to be as extraordinary as his legendary career.
A Funeral Fit for a Rock God
In a recent interview, the 74-year-old music legend disclosed that he doesn't want a traditional funeral service. Instead, Osbourne envisions something far more theatrical that truly represents his rock 'n' roll lifestyle.
Ozzy's Unusual Final Request
The heavy metal pioneer revealed he wants his funeral to feature a performance by legendary shock-rocker Alice Cooper. This bizarre request perfectly encapsulates Osbourne's lifelong commitment to challenging conventions and pushing boundaries.
"I've already told Sharon I want Alice Cooper to play at my funeral," Ozzy confessed. "She just rolled her eyes and said, 'You're not going anywhere.'"
Health Battles and Legacy
The revelation comes as Osbourne continues to battle significant health issues that have forced him to cancel tour dates. Despite these challenges, the rocker remains focused on his legacy and how he'll be remembered by generations of devoted fans.
Key elements of Ozzy's funeral plan include:
- A private ceremony for family and close friends
- No religious elements - "I'm not that guy," Ozzy stated
- Music from throughout his five-decade career
- A celebration rather than mourning
While these plans might seem morbid to some, they reflect Osbourne's trademark dark humor and his desire to control his narrative until the very end.
