UPDATE: Jack Osbourne has publicly expressed his deep sorrow following the sudden death of his father, legendary rockstar Ozzy Osbourne, who passed away from a heart attack on July 22. In a poignant Instagram tribute filled with cherished memories, Jack reflects on their special bond and the profound impact his father had on his life.
In a compilation of touching videos and photos, including a nostalgic clip of young Jack marveling at being the son of the “Prince of Darkness,” he wrote, “My heart is full of so much sadness and sorrow, but also so much love and gratitude.” Jack emphasized the significance of the 14,501 days he spent with his father, calling it “such a blessing.”
Jack’s tribute captures the essence of Ozzy’s wild spirit, closing with a powerful quote from author Hunter S. Thompson: “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, ‘Wow! What a ride!’” He poignantly concluded, “That was my dad. He lived and he lived his life fully.”
The music icon’s funeral took place last Thursday at his estate in Buckinghamshire, England, following a procession through his hometown of Birmingham. The event gathered family and celebrity friends, all united in mourning the loss of the “Crazy Train” hitmaker.
Jack’s sister, Kelly Osbourne, also shared her heartbreak via an emotional Instagram Story, describing their father’s death as the “hardest moment” of her life. Meanwhile, their mother, Sharon Osbourne, confirmed Ozzy’s passing in a family statement but has remained largely private during this time of grief.
As fans continue to mourn the loss of Ozzy Osbourne, Jack’s heartfelt message serves as a touching reminder of the love shared between father and son. This developing story highlights the profound impact of losing a beloved public figure, touching the hearts of many around the world.
Stay tuned for updates as tributes pour in from fans and fellow musicians honoring the legacy of Ozzy Osbourne.
