Ozzy Osbourne’s son Jack has taken to social media to share a poignant message to his father, who sadly died on 22 July, just days afte the rock star’s funeral
Ozzy Osbourne’s son Jack has broken his silence over his father’s death.
The Black Sabbath legend’s death stunned fans and his family have been quietly grieving since he passed on 22 July. Jack has now taken to Instagram to share a memorial message alongside pictures of him and his father throughout the years.
The video included pictures from Jack’s childhood, clips from the family’s reality TV show The Osbourne’s and recent snaps of the father-son duo. Jack wrote in the caption: “I haven’t really wanted to post anything since the passing of my father. My heart has hurt too much. I’m gonna keep this short because he certainly hated long rambling speeches.”
“He was so many things to so many people, but I was so lucky and blessed to be apart of a very small group that got to call him Dad. My heart is full of so much sadness and sorrow, but also so much love and gratitude.”
Jack said he “got 14,501 days with that man,” which he branded a “blessing”. He then used a quote to describe Ozzy: “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!'”
The passage is from Hunter S. Thompson, best known for writing Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Jack reckons the author’s quote sums Ozzy up the best as he “lived his life fully”.
Ozzy died suddenly on 22 July 2025, just weeks after his “farewell performance” for his Back to the Beginning event, held at Villa Park in Birmingham. He reunited with his Black Sabbath bandmates and also performed some of his solo hits for the final time.
During his last interview, Ozzy said that the “final encore” meant “everything” to him. His funeral was held on 30 July and the streets of his hometown were filled with mourners, many shouting: “Ozzy, Ozzy, Ozzy! Oi, oi, oi!” as the hearse rode past.
His wife Sharon and kids Kelly, Jack and Aimee waved to the crowds as they gathered together as a family to look over the floral wreaths and heartwarming tributes left for the heavy metal legend.
They were all in tears as Sharon turned around and threw up a peace sign as onlookers applauded her bravery. Ozzy was laid to rest on the family’s grounds and his grave is marked by a large purple floral message: “OZZY F****** OSBOURNE.”
