“Technology moves forward.” With this explanation Sharon Osbourne wanted to silence criticism of the family's controversial new project to transform Ozzy, who died just last summer, into a hologram managed by an AI.
«We know: technology moves forward. I feel sorry for those people who don't understand it. I'm not asking you to come and see,” Sharon explained in defense of the project. “I don't want your fucking money, I don't need your fucking money. I'm doing well.” Adding: «And for those who tell me that I just want to make money, I answer: no, you don't know my husband. Okay? I know my husband.”
Ozzy's wife then tells an intimate background that would have pushed her to accelerate on this project: «My husband kept telling me: “When I'm dead, how long will I be remembered?”». “It's not pretending he's still alive, but making sure he will never be forgotten.”
In the previous days, his son Jack had also explained online that the objective of this project is to do something “with taste” that is not “pathetic”.
The project, the rocker's son Jack said, contains “Ozzy's digital DNA, with his voice, his image, his movements” and “it's almost scary because of how precise it is”. You can ask the digital Ozzy anything and he, assures his wife Sharon, «will respond with his voice giving the answers that Ozzy would have given. We'll take it around the world and people will be able to talk to it.”
