Ozzy Osbourne’s Funeral Procession to Take Over Birmingham Streets
Honoring Ozzy Osbourne
Ozzy Osbourne will be remembered with a funeral procession in his hometown of Birmingham, England. This heartfelt tribute, featuring a brass band, is set to take place on Wednesday at 1 p.m. local time. The procession will include a hearse carrying Osbourne’s body through the city streets, concluding at the Black Sabbath bridge and bench, which has become a memorial in his honor since his passing.
Details of the Procession
During the event, the local brass group Bostin’ Brass will provide musical accompaniment. For those unable to attend in person, a live camera feed of the Black Sabbath bench will be available, allowing fans to participate virtually. This procession not only celebrates Osbourne’s legacy but also showcases the community’s deep affection for the legendary musician.
Community Support
The Osbourne family is contributing to the costs associated with this meaningful event. However, they have not yet shared details about the private funeral. Birmingham’s honorary lord mayor, Zafar Iqbal, expressed the significance of this tribute. He stated that Osbourne was “more than a music legend—he was a son of Birmingham.” The city, he noted, is proud to host this event, supporting the family in delivering a dignified farewell.
A Lasting Legacy
Ozzy Osbourne passed away on July 22 at the age of 76, shortly after his farewell concert in Birmingham, which featured appearances from many iconic bands, including Metallica and Guns N’ Roses. This concert marked a historic moment as Osbourne performed for the last time both as a solo artist and with the original members of Black Sabbath.
As we reflect on Ozzy’s incredible impact on music and culture, how do you plan to honor his legacy?
