Sharon Osbourne is saying goodbye. 

On the occasion when friends and family came together to honor the life of Ozzy Osbourne a week after his passing on July 22 at the age of 76, his spouse of 43 years, with visible emotions, took charge of leading the funeral procession in Birmingham, England.

Sharon, dressed in a plain black gown and adorned with a lengthy gold necklace, hid her sobbing face behind her hands as she surveyed the flowers and other tributes placed to remember her deceased spouse at the Black Sabbath memorial bench situated along Birmingham’s Broad Street.

Together with Sharon, were her and Ozzy’s children – Aimee Osbourne (aged 41), Kelly Osbourne (aged 40) and Jack Osbourne (aged 39). The family hugged each other as they admired the touching tribute for the late rock star. They were surrounded by fans and other loved ones, walking together through the town’s center, leading the procession.

As the family dressed in black attire, Kelly, with her sleekly pulled-back platinum hair, paid tribute to her father’s distinctive style by putting on a pair of violet-tinted shades, and greeted spectators while she and her younger sibling Jack provided emotional support to their mourning mother.

In just a few weeks following Ozzy’s emotional farewell concert in his hometown of Birmingham, where both family members and Black Sabbath bandmates were present, it was sadly confirmed that he had passed away.

With deeper sorrow than words can express, we must share the heartbreaking news that Ozzy Osbourne has left us this morning, as written in a statement to TopMob News.
