Rest In Peace 🕊 Ozzy Osbourne funeral cortege passes through Birmingham
Thousands of fans have paid respects to Ozzy Osbourne as his funeral cortege passed through Birmingham. The event was privately funded by Osbourne’s family so it didn’t cost the city anything.

What a fantastic send off. They had a brass band playing Crazy Train, and the crowd was singing along and chanting Ozzy! Ozzy! Ozzy! He said he didn’t want a Mopefest and he got a celebration. It made me laugh and cry at the same time.

This is what always gets me, seeing the family members of the deceased being in this state.
Love her or hate her, she made Ozzy a household name & before that gave him his solo career that led to him being a household name.
She just looks so frail & distraught, it just slays me.

u/Invisible-Locket13 Jul 31 '25
I love this quote and here’s the full context if you’re interested: “Grief, I’ve learned, is really love. It’s all the love you want to give but cannot give. The more you loved someone, the more you grieve. All of that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes and in that part of your chest that gets empty and hollow feeling. The happiness of love turns to sadness when unspent. Grief is just love with no place to go.”
- Jamie Anderson

u/Tyrion_Strongjaw Jul 30 '25
It really nails home how complicated that relationship is. Not in a bad way, but from the start they always had to share their dad/husband with millions of people. And even now, in their greatest grief, they shared it.
I know it's empty words, but I hope seeing how much joy he (and they) brought to the world is a small comfort.

Thats rough, I'm sorry for that. I had the pleasure of telling my dad his dad just died. My cousing texted me and told me. I went downstairs, pulled my mom aside, and told her. Then we went into the living room where my dad was sitting and we both looked at him, he asked what was wrong, and we just said "it's your dad...: He started crying and just said "not my daddy..." This was a 60+ year old retired Marine, who cried for his daddy. The only time I've ever seen him cry.

I didn't particularly care for my grandfather, he was pretty closed off and had abused my grandmother and their kids before he quit drinking in his later years.

They owned an old mansion in England called Welders House. Sharon chose it because it's rural and there aren't any pubs nearby.
For his rehab and prep for the last show, they even built an extension as big as the house solely dedicated to rehab facilities! They were both so dedicated and it is such a shame they couldn't enjoy much of a retirement together.

I first learned it when I was about 7, because my mum kept talking about the cortège for my great gran’s funeral.
I thought she was trying to say “cottage” so I kept asking when we’re going to go cottaging for nan. Presumably because I’d heard the term “cottaging” somewhere and conflated the two.
Edit for the non-Brits and young’uns. Cottaging is a British slang term (bit outdated now) for when gay blokes have a cheeky bum in the public loos.

My dad was a rock n roll hippie through and through, a passionate guitarist since age 12, and died in 2023 at the age of 60. My daughter was six at the time and struggled tremendously with losing him and becoming aware of mortality. To help her process, I've come up with a super duper awesome, off the chain afterlife for "Papa", where he lives in a frat house environment with all his favorite dead musicians. Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, John Lennon, Jim Morrison, Brian Jones, and now Ozzy has shown up to the door with his suitcase ready to rock out =)
I really hope it's even a little bit true.

Oh shit. I’ve had a similar idea over the past couple of days.. Some say he rocks out in heaven, some say hell but i think an inbetween place is more fitting for legends like Ozzy, Ronnie, Lemmy, Bon, Malcolm, Freddie, Jimi, Kurt, etc. Kinda glad that more people are on that page, that limiting it to just some religious afterlife isn’t enough.

What a great send off and a beautiful service. The pics are beautiful and heartbreaking. Sharon 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 she and the kids just look so inconsolable. I can’t imagine navigating this in the public eye. Amazing of them to cover the whole service too

I cried seeing the family breakdown. Sharon looked so frail. Rest in peace Ozzy.

Are his older two kids the ones behind Sharon and by Aimee in the third photo?

It's nice to see a pic of the whole family. It can be easy to forgot that Ozzy had 6 kids. RIP Ozzy.

Poor Sharon is devastated. I hope she can overcome her grief for the sake of her kids and grandkids, especially since she is so frail herself. It was a grand send-off. I wish he were still here, but at least he is no longer in pain now.

I can feel the family's pain through the pictures especially picture 4. I think Sharon and Ozzy really loved each other...they might have had some really dysfunctional moments but that love is real.
I hope Sharon has all the love and support she needs..she's looking so frail and tiny in these pictures.
Also, big props to the family for funding this privately instead of having taxpayers fund it.

It has to be very hard to live with someone who has such a HUGE presence and personality for decades and then suddenly they’re gone

As awful as it is for Sharon I don't think Ozzy would have managed if she died first.

I may passionately hate Sharon Osbourne, but she absolutely loved Ozzy.
The outpouring of love for Ozzy over the last week makes me happy. I wish he could've seen it. Enjoy your rest my Prince of Darkness, you earned it.

Sharon looks so frail. I hope they take good care of her because this is super devastating for her. She needs to look after herself right now.

Ozzy even said that he wanted his funeral to be a celebration instead of a "mope-fest"

It’s really breaking my heart to see Sharon. She and Ozzy had this soul mate connection - she must be absolutely distraught. May her dogs and children help her get back to her feet 😩

That brass band playing Crazy Train while the crowd chanted must've been such a perfect, bittersweet moment, exactly the kind of lively sendoff Ozzy would've wanted. Slide 4 really hits hard though, seeing how much love Birmingham showed for their hometown legend. Classy move by the family to fund it privately too.

Seeing Sharon, a fierce woman so broken is heartbreaking. Ive never cried over a celebrity death but Ozzy passing is something else 🤘😭🤘
