But it was at Ozzy’s private funeral in London — attended by family, friends, and music royalty — that Kelly truly left mourners speechless.
With her voice trembling but resolute, Kelly walked slowly to the front of the chapel and said:
“He always told me, ‘Sing loud, even if you’re scared.’ So… Dad, this one’s for you.”
She then performed a hauntingly beautiful acoustic version of “Changes”, the 1972 Black Sabbath ballad that she and Ozzy famously re-recorded together in 2003.
This time, however, she changed the final verse.
Her voice broke as she sang:
🎵
“You gave me light when I was dark / You stayed with me when I fell apart / Now I’m changed, I’m changed again / But this time I’m without my friend…”
🎵
Family and Friends in Tears
As Kelly sang, Sharon Osbourne clutched a rosary in the front pew, weeping openly. Jack Osbourne put his arm around his sister as she finished the final notes.
Even longtime family friend Sir Elton John was seen wiping his eyes.
“It wasn’t just a performance,” one guest said. “It was a daughter letting her soul speak for the last time.”
Ozzy’s Final Request Fulfilled
Sources close to the family later revealed that Ozzy himself had asked Kelly to sing “Changes” at his funeral, telling her months ago:
“If you don’t cry, it’s not real. And if you cry while you sing, I’ll be proud.”
She did.
Kelly’s Closing Words
After the song, Kelly placed a handwritten letter inside her father’s casket. No one knows what it said — but as she turned away, she whispered loud enough for the front row to hear:
“You were never just the Prince of Darkness to me. You were my light.”
Ozzy Osbourne gave the world his voice, his madness, and his heart.
But to Kelly… he was simply Dad.
And with her song, she gave him back everything he once gave her —
one final time.
