Ozzy Osbourne revealed that he wants one of The Beatles' famous songs to be played at his funeral.

In an interview with NME a few years ago, the Black Sabbath lead confessed that he wanted "In My Life" played at his funeral.

"I need a few more years to think this over, but probably something from 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' or 'Revolver.'"

The rock star also revealed the kind of music he doesn't want to be played at his funeral.

Ozzy said, "I definitely don't want my f-----g greatest hits album - I never ever play that thing, I'm f-----g embarrassed about it."

"And I definitely don't want a f-----g happy song - I'm dead."

In another interview with GQ magazine, Ozzy Osbourne confessed that he has a high opinion of The Beatles despite his father not having none.

He recalled playing The Fab Four's song to his dad and then questioned, "' What are you playing that s-t for?'" To which Ozzy answered him, "' It's The Beatles!'"

Then his dad reportedly said, "' Oh, they'll never become anything.'"

In disbelief, Ozzy thought, "It was such an amazing time for music in the '60s. When popular music hit me, it was like magic was in the air."

He believes that The Beatles were a massive part of the trend band in the 1960s.

He also mentioned other bands such as The Stones, Brian Poole, Gerry, and the Pacemakers, and The Dave Clark Five "were just f amazing."

Is Ozzy Osbourne OK?

Amid his battle with Parkinson's disease, People magazine reported that Ozzy Osbourne has tested positive for COVID-19, as revealed by his wife, Sharon.

The former "The Talk" host made the revelation on the set of her new show, "The Talk US," where she also broke down as she explained her husband's condition.

"I spoke to him, and he's OK. I am very worried about Ozzy right now... We've gone two years without him catching COVID, and it's just Ozzy's luck he would get it now."

Sharon revealed that she would be with him for the time being and would be absent from the show for the whole week, ensuring that Ozzy would get a negative test by next week.

This comes after Sharon tested positive as well in 2020, and their daughter and son Jack's daughters.
