Ozzy's Prank Revealed
As Kelly Osbourne paid tribute to her father with a song, the wind blew her lyrics away.
"It was a small group of people but very beautiful,” Robert shared of the memorial. “It was very sad but at the same time some of the speeches were pretty funny.”
He noted 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),” he continued. “Like the wind blew her lyrics away. It was almost like Ozzy was having fun with her.”

“I am not kidding, and then it was beautiful from that moment on,” Robert noted.
"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.’” Robert continued. "There's so many stories. There so many heartfelt words — kind of reconnecting with different musicians and bandmates and crew members.”
