The Prince of Darkness died “surrounded by love” last Tuesday at age 76.
“It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning,” the Osbourne family said in a statement. “He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis.”

Ozzy previously made his funeral wishes clear in a Dear Ozzy column for The Times of London in 2011.
“I honestly don’t care what they play at my funeral; they can put on a medley of Justin Bieber, Susan Boyle and We Are the Diddymen if it makes ’em happy,” he revealed to the outlet. “But I do want to make sure it’s a celebration, not a mope-fest.”

Ozzy continued, “I’d also like some pranks: maybe the sound of knocking inside the coffin; or a video of me asking my doctor for a second opinion on his diagnosis of ‘death.’ There’ll be no harping on the bad times.”

“So to answer your question,” Ozzy added, yes, a bit of planning is the right thing to do for the family you leave behind.”
Two weeks before his death, Ozzy — who had Parkinson’s disease — performed his final show with Black Sabbath for a crowd of 42,000 people at Villa Park in Birmingham.
The late rocker performed solo songs such as “I Don’t Know,” “Mr. Crowley,” “Suicide Solution,” “Mama, I’m Coming Home” and “Crazy Train,” while the group performed “War Pigs,” “N.I.B.,” “Iron Man” and “Paranoid.”
“You have no idea how I feel,” he told the crowd before his final bow. “Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
