Ozzy’s nearly $220 million legacy is the result of decades of music, Ozzfest, and a popular reality show. His six children—three with Sharon and three with Thelma Riley—raise concerns regarding his estate. Legal professionals caution that inheritance disputes could occur in the absence of a clear will. Even suggesting funeral pranks, Ozzy frequently made jokes about death, once stating, “Just don’t make it a mope-fest.” What is his favorite funeral song? The Beatles’ “A Day in the Life.”

Gillian Hemming and Jean Powell, his sisters, were taken aback by his unexpected passing. Jean stated, “He still had plans.” “We’re just grateful that he passed away in England.” Ozzy’s farewell concert was their last recollection of him; it was a wild, triumphant occasion. “I’ll be back in Birmingham again,” were his final words to Jean. With a wink and a roar, Ozzy left the way he lived: on his own terms.
