by Jack Osbourne recently shared important advice for fans of his father, Ozzy Osbourne, in a statement reported by Blabbermouth.
The statement focused on how Ozzy wanted to be remembered and how fans should approach his legacy.
“My father would want people to smile, laugh, and feel love when they read it,” Jack Osbourne said. “He absolutely hated when people felt sorry for him.”
Jack emphasized the importance of celebrating his father’s spirit rather than mourning.
“I know some fans will get emotional — it’s hard not to — but he couldn’t stand when people cried in front of him or got sad around him,” he continued. “So enjoy his words. Feel his energy. Remember who he will always be. And never stop loving him.”
Jack’s message comes as Ozzy continues to face significant health challenges while maintaining his determination to stay connected with fans and music.
Over the past few years, Ozzy has dealt with multiple health issues. These include a Parkinson’s disease diagnosis and complications from a fall in 2019 that required several surgeries. Despite these challenges, the legendary rocker has shown remarkable resilience and commitment to his craft.
Ozzy announced his “No More Tours 2” farewell tour, signaling his intention to step back from full-scale touring. While large-scale tours have ended, he has made selective special appearances. This demonstrates his continued connection to live music despite physical limitations.
The rock icon has shifted his focus more toward studio work and collaborations rather than extensive touring. This approach allows him to remain musically active without the physical strain that comes with performing on the road.
Jack Osbourne has been vocal about managing family dynamics and his father’s health behind the scenes. He frequently acts as Ozzy’s advocate and spokesperson. He highlights the importance of mental health support for musicians facing aging and illness. The close father-son relationship continues to be a source of strength for both of them.
The message serves as a reminder to fans to honor Ozzy’s memory and ongoing legacy with joy and celebration rather than sadness. This respects the rock legend’s wishes to be remembered for his strength and spirit.
