Ozzy Osbourne, who passed on July 21, 2025, made it clear he didn’t want a somber funeral. True to his humor and spirit, the “Prince of Darkness” hoped for laughter, Beatles songs, and even coffin pranks. In a 2011 interview, he joked he’d be fine with a medley of Justin Bieber or Susan Boyle — as long as people celebrated, not mourned.
He even imagined a knock from inside his coffin or a video of him asking for a “second opinion” on his death. In 2016, Ozzy said he’d want The Beatles’ “A Day in the Life” played at his funeral, noting his own songs didn’t feel fitting.
