SHARON OSBOURNE spoke to BBC News as the Osbourne family prepares to release a film about Ozzy's final concert with Black Sabbath. 'Ozzy & Black Sabbath: Back To The Beginning' opens in cinemas worldwide on October 28 for a limited time only. The following is an excerpt from the BBC article: "The fans' cards and messages were all collected, sorted and photographed; while the flowers were composted for the family garden, where Ozzy is buried. 'There was no way I could put Ozzy in a public graveyard,' she says. 'I've seen what happens to other people in the public eye. There's no peace becse people want to come and they want to pay their respects. That's an ongoing thing, and I wanted Ozzy to rest and just be.'
