Overview
- Speaking on the Nov. 18 episode of Jack Osbourne’s Trying Not to Die podcast, Louis Osbourne said he was shocked by the “volume of people” who lined the route for his father’s cortege.
- He recalled fans climbing lampposts, hanging out of windows, and standing on bus stops, calling the scene “awe-inspiring” and saying he still gets goosebumps thinking about it.
- Louis said he expected a modest crowd but the procession kept going for another half mile after the family laid flowers at the Black Sabbath bridge, with people following them through town.
- Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee, and Louis stepped out together to view tributes during the July 30 Birmingham procession before Ozzy’s private burial the next day at his Buckinghamshire home attended by Zakk Wylde and former Black Sabbath bandmates.
- Reports note that half-siblings Jessica and Elliot were not included in the family’s public death announcement and did not appear to attend the procession.
