One of the famous guests at Ozzy Osbourne’s funeral has disclosed the moment he reckoned the cherished star pulled a prank on daughter Kelly at the service from beyond the grave. Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo says the ceremony was filled with “magical moments” and attendees sensed Ozzy’s mischievous sense of humour as his daughter Kelly delivered a special tribute. The Black Sabbath icon was laid to rest at his Buckingham Estate last month, just weeks after performing a final concert at Villa Park. Trujillo disclosed that Kelly, 40, performed a tribute to her father during the service. But as she approached the stand with her lyric sheet a gust of wind swept the words away, reports a href=” rel=”Follow” target=”_self”the Mirror/a.

Trujillo, a longtime member of Ozzy’s band, said he sensed that Ozzy’s sharp sense of humour was present at the farewell. Speaking on the Trunk Nation Show, he said: “It was a small group of people but very beautiful. It was very sad but at the same time some of the speeches were pretty funny.

“It had been raining at the beginning of the service for longer than an hour before. And then as it sort of progressed through the service, the weather would change and different things would happen like when Kelly was singing, her lyrics flew (away). Like the wind blew her lyrics away. It was almost like Ozzy was having fun with her.”

Osbourne’s fellow Black Sabbath co-founder Geezer Butler was weeping initially when he addressed the gathering with rain falling. But when he rose again to deliver his complete eulogy the clouds cleared, bathing the mourners in sunshine.

“There were a lot of tears with Sabbath especially with Geezer. Geezer broke down in tears. He had a hard time, obviously, speaking,” said Trujillo.

And then he came back up and he delivered an amazing eulogy, “When Geezer spoke the sun came out. I am not kidding and then it was beautiful from that moment on. There were magical moments. It was sad but at the same time people were sharing stories and all of a sudden there’s laughter, and ‘I remember this, I remember that.’ There’s so many stories.

“There so many heartfelt words – kind of reconnecting with different musicians and bandmates and crew members. It felt like there was closure from this. And I am glad my wife Chloe and I went and shared that and we were able to have that moment with the family.”

Speaking about the Back To The Beginning Black Sabbath show at Villa Park, which became Ozzy’s final ever performance, Trujillo said: “It was something we wanted to do and a celebration. Everybody was on the same page. It was all about Ozzy and Sabbath and remembering why we play the music we play. It was because of these dudes man. They are the seed to everything we create. There was some beautiful moments. For every musician it resonated in the most powerful beautiful way. So it was sad in a lot of ways but it felt like something special and a new beginning and getting power from these guys.”

Trujillo reminisced about spending time with Ozzy and his Sabbath bandmates, joking that “it was like hanging with our heroes”.

He also revealed that he and vocalist James Hetfield spent time with Ozzy following his performance.

The 60 year old Santa Monica-based musician continued: “James got on one knee and held Ozzy’s hand. It was almost like saying goodbye to Ozzy in some ways. It was heart felt. It was a powerful moment. It was sad I had to leave the room, because I was so touched.

“I believe Ozzy wanted this more than anything and he really did hang in there for all of us, so he could sing that one last time and take that final bow. He went out on his terms and in his way.”

The Californian confessed that the Villa Park concert felt like a “living funeral”, but observed: “it was a shock because I sent a little bit of time with him in Birmingham. And then all of a sudden I get the call.

“In the last four years I somehow ended up connected to Ozzy. I co- wrote his last record with Andrew Watt and that was really special.

“We did that and it was great because we won a couple of Grammys and he got rock album of the year – and he never had that before. I feel connected to him in a lot of ways. Ozzy helped so many bands. I call him the gateway. “.

Ozzy died on July 22 from a heart attack 17 days after Back To The Beginning.

He performed nine songs at the event which raised tens of millions for charities.

Close friends and family had been chuckling at another cheeky farewell tribute to one of his most controversial career moments.

Ozzy was laid to rest in the grounds of his Buckinghamshire home.
