Ozzy Osbourne has become a legend in the rock music industry. Even though he was once a member of a popular group, he shared his dream bandmates, who included some of the most iconic names in music.

During an episode of his family's The Osbournes podcast, his daughter Kelly Osbourne read one fan question that asked the singer which artists he would pick to create his dream band.

He immediately answered himself, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and Jimi Hendrix.

His wife, Sharon Osbourne, later noted that he forgot to name a drummer, to which he later answered with someone with whom he had worked in the past, Tommy Clufetos.

"That'd be quite the gig," his son, Jack Osbourne, said.

It's only fitting that Ozzy named two Beatles members as he has been a fan of the group for a long time.

In an interview with Rolling Stone in 2022, the singer revealed that the legendary band has always been his favorite, and he plays their music on a daily basis. In the past, he attempted to get Paul McCartney to collaborate and play the bass on his song "Dreamer," but the musician told him Robert Trujillo's work was too good to replace.

Regarding his favorite Beatles song, he told Classic Rock that "She Loves You" changed his life.

"'She Loves You' had such an impact on me. I remember exactly where I was. I was walking down Witton Road in Aston, I had a blue transistor radio and when that song came on I knew from then on what I wanted to do with my life," he added.

He further reflected on the song, saying it was "so brand new" at the time and gave him a "great feeling," which later made him an avid Beatles fan.

"They were great. I owe my career to them because they gave me the desire to want to be in the music game," he added.

The news comes after Ozzy Osbourne canceled last month's appearance at the Mad Monster Party in Phoenix, AZ.

Sharon took to social media to reveal that the singer was advised by doctors not to fly, which led him, his wife, and daughter Kelly to cancel their appearance. However, Jack was able to attend the event.

"We would like to thank you all for your constant support with Ozzy. It means so much to him; you have no idea," the former The Talk host said.
