Robert Trujillo, Metallica bassist, told an interview with Siriusxm’s Trunk Nation with Eddie Trunk the most touching and surprising moments of the private ceremony of Ozzy Osbourne, held in recent days and reserved for a small group of family members, friends and colleagues, after the funeral procession that took place on Wednesday 30 July in his hometown, Birmingham. with the body of the disappeared musician on board, accompanied by a brass band.

“It was a small group of people, but it was very, very beautiful. And in the end, the speeches were … I mean, it was very sad, but at the same time some were – as you can imagine – rather funny. And there were many tears,” said Trujillo.
Geezer Butler, said the musician, broke out in tears: “He had difficulty, of course, to speak, and then he returned to the stage and pronounced an extraordinary eulogy”.

Trujillo explained how, next to the pain, the ceremony was also a moment of sharing: “Once again, it is sad, but at the same time the people shared stories. And suddenly there were laughter, and” I remember this “,” I remember that “. There were so many stories … I want to say, we could be on the phone forever in this interview. So it seemed a sort of closure. We were able to share that moment with the family and all the others.

Trujillo also told of some curious episodes that made the ceremony even more memorable: “He had rained at the beginning of the service, about an hour – I don’t know – perhaps more than an hour before. And then, as the ceremony continued, time changed and different things happened. When Kelly (Osbourne) was singing, her texts flew away – the wind took them away. It almost seemed that Ozzy was kidding with her. And then, when Geezer spoke, he really spoke, the sun came out. I’m not kidding. The sun really came out, and from that moment on it was beautiful – a truly magical moment ».
