Kelly Osbourne has shared a throwback clip that shows her giving a tour of her father Ozzy Osbourne’s dressing room, taken from when she joined him at a concert years ago
Kelly Osbourne has posted a nostalgic video this week in the wake of her father Ozzy Osbourne’s passing. The clip shows her providing a behind-the-scenes look at his dressing room during a concert from years past.
The 40-year-old was part of the family who confirmed that Ozzy had passed away at age 76 last month. Only weeks before his death, he had taken the stage one final time in a farewell performance, with fan support reportedly catching him off guard.
The rock icon’s retirement marked the end of a decades-long career as a live performer. Her youngest child, Kelly, attended numerous shows throughout the years. She has now reflected on one particular event by sharing this vintage footage.
This follows Sharon Osbourne’s emotional breakdown during Ozzy’s funeral service in devastating moments.
Kelly posted the
, reportedly from the Ozzfest festival tour in 1997. The content was originally uploaded by fan page @ozzyslegacy, which captioned it: “Kelly giving a tour of Ozzy’s dressing room at @theozzfest 1997.”
She subsequently reposted the content, featuring a portion of the video, to her Instagram Story this morning. Kelly offered no written commentary alongside the footage, which depicts her conducting a walkthrough of the former Black Sabbath frontman’s backstage area.
The recording opens with Kelly approaching the dressing room while stating, “So this is my dad’s room.”
She verifies that he hasn’t arrived yet and escorts the camera crew inside, where she discusses her touring experiences. Kelly, who was twelve at the time, shared: “This is where I sit with my dad for about an hour before he goes on stage. He listens to music really loud, and he punches the wall with his boxing gloves and breaks the wall down.”
She further disclosed that “everything” in the dressing room is labeled so Ozzy “knows where it is.” In the footage that has since resurfaced following his passing, Kelly stated, “Everything’s in the same place, every night, so he can find it.”
The video shows a table in the room stocked with tea bags, fruit, and a can of tuna for the late singer-songwriter. Kelly then gives viewers a peek into his wardrobe, saying: “These are my favorite things.”
She is then seen pulling out some clothing items. She mentioned that his “favorite” jacket has fringe sleeves. However, Kelly revealed at the time: “He never wears them because he says they’re uncomfortable.”
She also points out several T-shirts in the video adorned with images of either Ozzy or Black Sabbath, noting that he has options for sets.
After revealing that he has a drawer full of workout clothes and showing off some dumbbells, Kelly shared that Ozzy enjoyed pranking people with stink bombs while on tour. She said in the nostalgic video: “He plays jokes and throws them in all the dressing rooms and it smells so bad.”
The segment featuring Kelly touring his dressing room wraps up as she reveals his wardrobe contains drawers filled with underwear and shoes. She noted: “He paints his own shoes”.
A single shoe is then displayed for the camera, bearing the words “I don’t give a f***” scrawled across the front.
Kelly, who became engaged in front of Ozzy during his farewell performance, recently honored him in a heartfelt message she posted for fans earlier this month. This followed the late performer’s funeral procession and private ceremony.
She conveyed appreciation for the overwhelming support she had received. As previously reported, she penned in a social media post just days ago: “I’ve sat down to write this a hundred times and still don’t know if the words will ever feel like enough … but from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
“The love, support, and beautiful messages I’ve received from so many of you have truly helped carry me through the hardest moment of my life. Every kind word, every shared memory, every bit of compassion has meant more than I can ever explain.
“Grief is a strange thing – it sneaks up on you in waves – I will not be ok for a while – but knowing my family are not alone in our pain makes a difference. I’m holding on tight to the love, the light, and the legacy left behind. Thank you for being there. I love you all so much.”
