Osbourne revealed he wanted ‘A Day In The Life’ by The Beatles to soundtrack his funeral and explained how he fell in love with the group. The Black Sabbath singer recalled: “I come from the backstreets of Aston in Birmingham, and it wasn’t a very cool place when I was growing up,” the singer began. “I used to sit on my doorstep and think, ‘How the hell am I going to get out of here?’ And then one day ‘She Loves You’ came on the radio”.
“I was Beatles all the way, man. My bedroom wall was, in fact, completely covered, the wall, ceilings, doors… any Beatles pictures were stuck on my wall. I used to have these fantasies of Paul McCartney marrying my sister, all this kind of crazy stuff and how wonderful (It would be)”.
