Here’s the part that hits hardest: Ozzy Osbourne, the wild-eyed frontman of Black Sabbath, the man who bit the head off a bat on stage and stumbled through decades of rock ‘n’ roll excess, doesn’t want to be remembered with thunderous riffs or screams into the void. He wants *“My Way”* — Frank Sinatra’s mournful, proud farewell — to play as his final curtain falls.
It’s unexpected. It’s human. And it’s telling.
“My Way” isn’t a metal track. It’s not laced with distortion or anger. It’s reflective. It’s about a life lived boldly, but not without pain. When Sinatra sings, *“Regrets, I’ve had a few / But then again, too few to mention,”* you can almost hear Ozzy nodding. His life was chaos — addiction, fame, near-death moments, public breakdowns — but through it all, he kept going. Not always gracefully. Rarely quietly. But always, unmistakably, *his* way.
In light of this resurfaced interview, fans are looking back differently. Was Ozzy telling us something deeper? Beneath the eyeliner and the spectacle, maybe he always knew how he wanted the story to end. Not with tears in pews or solemn speeches, but with a wink, a smirk, and a song that says: “I did it all. I paid the price. And I wouldn’t change a damn thing.”
It’s not just a funeral request. It’s a legacy statement.
Because for all the madness and missteps, Ozzy Osbourne never faked a single second. And when the time comes, he doesn’t want silence. He wants a song that says, with aching honesty and theatrical flair: *I faced it all / And I stood tall / And did it my way.*
Now that? That’s ro
ck and roll.
