A video of Ozzy Osbourne covering Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Free Bird” is breaking hearts across the internet just days after the heavy metal icon passed away at the age of 76. The timing has hit fans hard, with many calling it a sign or an unintentional farewell message from the Prince of Darkness himself.
In the video, Ozzy delivers the classic track in a way only he could — full of grit, soul, and something deeper. It’s not a polished studio version or a big live moment. It feels stripped down, almost personal. Just Ozzy and the music. Fans are saying it’s one of the most emotional things they’ve seen from him, especially now.
He passed away at his home in Buckinghamshire, laid to rest near the lake on his family estate, just as he had always wanted. The funeral brought out the biggest names in rock, from Marilyn Manson to Rob Zombie, but it’s this quiet, unexpected “Free Bird” moment that’s got fans truly reflecting.
Comments under the video are filled with messages like “He flew free in the end” and “He gave us chaos, but he left us peace.” For a man known for biting heads off bats and shaking the world of rock for decades, this cover is reminding everyone just how much heart was behind the madness.
