Kelly Osbourne's Heartrending Interview: A Final Tribute to Ozzy Before His Passing
Kelly Osbourne's Bittersweet Tributes: A Father-Daughter Bond Like No Other
In a heart-wrenching twist, Kelly Osbourne spoke fondly of her beloved father Ozzy just two weeks before his untimely passing at 76. In an interview that has left fans and family members in tears, the 40-year-old singer and TV personality shared intimate details about her dad's final days on earth.
Kelly, who has been open about her struggles with addiction and personal demons in the past, revealed that Ozzy was feeling "amazing" just two days before his farewell performance with Black Sabbath at Villa Park in Birmingham. The iconic rocker, known for his wild stage antics and unapologetic attitude, had seemingly found a new lease on life.
"I'm so excited for my final show on Saturday," Kelly quoted her father as saying. "It's going to be a very emotional moment." Ozzy's enthusiasm was contagious, with Kelly admitting that she too was feeling the nerves and excitement. The rehearsal process had been an incredible experience, with Ozzy at the helm, leading his band through one last performance.
But what's even more poignant is that Kelly's interview came just two days before she got engaged to Sid Wilson in front of her father's eyes. In a romantic gesture, Kelly shared details about their upcoming nuptials, revealing plans for an intimate destination wedding across seas. "We want only the people who really like us to come," she explained. "It'll be a chance for us to celebrate our love without all the fuss and attention."
When asked about her mother Sharon's involvement in planning the wedding, Kelly candidly confessed that she had no interest in getting involved. "I just want it done at the registry office and then take over a pub," she joked. But with Sharon taking the reins, things were sure to be handled with finesse.
Fast forward to Ozzy's funeral procession on Wednesday, where Kelly paid a heartfelt tribute to her beloved father by wearing his signature purple glasses. It was a poignant nod to their special bond, which has been well-documented over the years.
As fans and family members gathered at Black Sabbath Bridge in Birmingham to pay their respects, Kelly's siblings Jack and Aimee laid floral tributes alongside their mother Sharon. The scene was filled with emotion as Kelly, Jack, and Aimee shared a tender moment, holding each other tight amidst the sea of mourners.
Ozzy's love for Kelly has been well-documented in the past, with him once telling Rolling Stone that she was his "favourite child". When asked if her siblings were aware of this fact, Ozzy replied cheekily, "Oh, they know it! Me and Kelly, we're like two peas in a pod!" It's clear that their bond is unbreakable.
In 2003, the father-daughter duo released a revised version of the song 'Stand by Me', which reached number one on the UK singles chart. The song was a heartfelt reflection of their life together, with Kelly singing about her dad's unwavering support and love.
As fans continue to mourn Ozzy's passing, it's clear that his legacy lives on through Kelly and the rest of his family. Their bond is a testament to the power of love and family, even in the face of adversity.
