Sharon Osbourne to Fulfill Late Husband Ozzy’s Final Wish with Ozzfest Revival
During a recent episode of The Osbournes Podcast, Ozzy Osbourne and his wife Sharon Osbourne discussed the possibility of reviving the iconic music festival, Ozzfest. The couple shared a light-hearted moment as they bantered about the festival’s comeback, with Sharon playfully responding, “Yeah, sure. Of course,” to Ozzy’s inquiry.
Their daughter Kelly Osbourne also joined the conversation, highlighting the need for more realistic artist fees to make the festival financially viable. Sharon expressed frustration at the assumption that they have unlimited resources, stating, “Why is it when it comes to us that everybody thinks that we are trillionaires?”
Originally launched in 1996 as a two-day event, Ozzfest quickly grew into a renowned touring festival that showcased emerging bands in the metal genre. Over the years, it served as a platform for artists like Slipknot, System of a Down, and Disturbed, gaining a dedicated following in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
The last major edition of Ozzfest took place in 2018, featuring performances by Ozzy Osbourne himself, Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, and Jonathan Davis of Korn. The event was a fitting celebration of the festival’s legacy and impact on the metal music scene.
Close friends of the Osbourne family reveal that the revival of Ozzfest will include a special memorial segment at each event, allowing fans to pay their respects to Ozzy in a manner befitting his love for music. One insider shared, “Ozzy always said music was his church. This revival will be his cathedral.”
As plans for the Ozzfest revival take shape, fans can look forward to an emotional and powerful tribute to the Prince of Darkness, fulfilling his final wish in a way that will undoubtedly move metal enthusiasts to tears.
