Ozzy Osbourne was laid to rest during a private funeral in Buckinghamshire, England on Thursday.
Farewell, Ozzy.
Black Sabbath legend Ozzy Osbourne was reportedly laid to rest next to the lake of his Buckinghamshire home on Thursday following his shocking death last week.
Funeral guests were seen departing a discreet country hotel and arriving at the private memorial held at the Osbourne family’s house. Ozzy’s longtime guitarist, Zakk Wylde, was there and led the mournful procession.
Other guests that were photographed included Marilyn Manson and his wife Lindsay Usich, White Zombie frontman Rob Zombie, Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor and his wife Alicia Dove, and Irish actor Stephen Rea.
Ozzy’s Black Sabbath bandmates, including Terence “Geezer” Butler, Tony Iommi and Bill Ward, Metallica’s James Hetfield, punk rocker Yungblud and Elton John were also said to be at the service.
Around 110 people who attended the private ceremony were given a black invitation with a picture of a cross that read: “In loving memory of Ozzy Osbourne,” according to The Sun.
Security teams were on hand to ensure the safety of mourners at the funeral.
“Everyone at the service just wanted to support Sharon and the kids, it has been an awful time,” insiders told the outlet.
“Toasts were raised, memories were shared – it was a very fitting goodbye,” they added, noting that a stage was set up outside the estate that Ozzy and Sharon purchased in 1993, with several famous musicians playing in tribute to the fallen rock icon.
“There was a stage where people including Yungblud, who grew very close to Ozzy in recent years, were set to pay tribute to him,” the source said.
