Ozzy Osbourne went down in music history as one of rock music’s greats. He died just weeks after Black Sabbath’s farewell concert in July 2025. As fans mourn Ozzy’s death, the late 76-year-old English singer-songwriter will likely be commemorated with a funeral, since he previously expressed interest in having one when his life ended.
Below, get updates on Ozzy’s funeral plans.
The Osbourne family has not publicly revealed details about Ozzy’s funeral or whether they’re even holding one. While some late musicians, such as Michael Jackson, were given public commemorative ceremonies, it’s up to the Osbournes in the end.
Ozzy has, however, previously shared that he wanted a funeral at the end of his life.
A source told The Sun in July 2025 that there might be a “celebration of his life in Birmingham, the city that meant so much to him. … There are hundreds of big names who will want to pay their respects and celebrate his life and legacy, as well as thousands of fans who would line the streets to say goodbye.”
During a 2011 Q&A with The Times, the late “Crazy Train” hitmaker said he wanted his funeral to be a positive occasion, not a “sad” one.
