Ozzy Osbourne's Son Declares He 'Lived His Life Fully' In Emotional Tribute

Ozzy Osbourne's son, Jack Osbourne, has penned a terrific goodbye message after his dad was laid to rest.

The rocker and Sharon Osbourne's youngest son chose the most endearing words to lead his late father home days after his passing, and a very emotional appearance at a procession held on his behalf.

Ozzy Osbourne's death was hinged on four joint causes, including heart attack, coronary artery disease, acute myocardial infarction, and Parkinson's disease. His wife and kids reportedly surrounded him at the time of his passing.

The 39-year-old broke his silence on social media by honoring the life and times of his father with slides featuring images and clips of Ozzy which has never been seen.

He acknowledged his great hurt at the loss of his father, noting that his speech would be as brief as possible because his father was not a fan of "long rambling speeches." Jack continued that his father meant many things to many people, but he felt extremely privileged to refer to him as his father.

Jack described the bittersweet feeling in his heart, stating that despite everything, he feels beyond blessed to call him his father. Concluding the tribute, Jack wrote:

"Hunter S. Thompson once said: 'Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body...but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming.'"

In the concluding part of his tribute, Jack stressed that the poem summarized his father's life, which he lived fully and beautifully, and accompanied it with a proclamation of love. In his words, "That was my dad. He lived, and he lived his life fully. I love you, Dad."

The younger Osbourne had taken a break from the social media platform since July 22, when the rockstar died. Jack's post earned over 16,000 comments, ranging from fans wishing him and the family well to those sharing similar stories about losing their fathers.

"Well said, Jack. I lost my Dad in 2020, and he had so many similar traits to Ozzy. I'm so sorry for your loss. I know you guys were so close. I love your World Detour show. You could really see how much he loved you," this commenter declared.

Another Instagram user assured Jack that they are there to offer emotional support to the family that has given so much of their lives to the joy of fans across the globe.

"What an honor to be part of that exceptional, legendary bloodline. An amazing life that man lived. Sorry for your loss brother," this follower declared.

More comments described Ozzy as a gem, and Jack as an admirable treasure to his family for choosing to celebrate his father with such stunning words.

The 72-year-old is not about to let death be the ending of her husband's iconic career, which put the love of rock music in the hearts of millions of listeners across the globe. As shared by The Blast, the star will collaborate with their kids to ensure his unreleased music is kept safe in the archives.

Home videos, handwritten notes, and keepsakes from his tours during his lifetime will also be tucked away from ruins. Sharon has plans to cement her late husband's name in the hearts of people so that he will be remembered as one of the most talented singers of his peers.

Their love story will also take a similar route, as Sharon reportedly has her eyes set on Ozzy alone, with zero vacancy for anyone looking to offer her love. "There's no second act in love. Ozzy was her one — her twin flame. That's it," an insider revealed.

The singer's hyperactive nature on stage surely came with its consequences in the form of injuries- some left with pain he carried around till he died.

The Blast reported that the singer had battled Parkinson's for over two decades, and an unfortunate incident on stage pushed him further into the abyss of ill health.

Ozzy got vulnerable about how his life has changed since the fall on stage, which left him with a broken neck, and a trip into the operating theatre where medics worked on his back.

The singer revealed to Piers Morgan in 2023 that since falling from the stage in 2019, he and his family had gone through "five years of absolute hell." He also had to cancel what was billed to be his final tour at the time, before he made a comeback with his "Black Sabbath" boys in early July in Birmingham.

The performance did not come easily either. Sharon had to make arrangements for the singer to get through his set on a comfy king-sized chair to help him with comfort and ease tension from the insurance company about his safety and well-being.

The artist had clearly expressed his preferred burial style in his 2009 autobiography "I Am Ozzy," noting that he did not desire cremation, but a solemn burial in his sprawling Buckinghamshire palace garden. 

He added that a tree should be placed above his head to offer shade and some wine to his thirsty kids. Ozzy took a wild guess, stating that his infamous bat-biting incident may make a cameo on his tombstone as a testament to the interesting life he so lived.

In the memoir, the rockstar noted that death is a natural phenomenon that happens to everyone and that everything in life is worked out in advance.

True to his words, he was indeed laid to rest in a private funeral service at his family's 250-acre mansion in Buckinghamshire, right next to the lake on the property, on August 31.

Days after his passing, the star was celebrated by millions of fans on Birmingham streets who chanted, clapped, and threw flowers as the motorcade carrying his body drove through.

There is no doubt Ozzy Osbourne Was Intensely loved by his family.
