Jean Powell and Gillian Hemming, Ozzy Osbourne's two surviving sisters, said they last saw the famed rocker at his final concert with Black Sabbath in England on July 5. He died weeks later at the age of 76.
Ozzy Osbourne had a long friendship with Motörhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister, and the two musicians now have something eerily in common in death. Both hard rock legends died exactly 17 days after powering through their final concerts amid illness.
Osbourne said he didn't want his funeral to be a "mope-fest," adding that he would like some pranks, such as the sound of knocking inside the coffin.
