Calls for Ozzy Osbourne to be given Birmingham freedom of city

Its support led to their stars being added to Broad Street Walk of Stars and the installation of the Black Sabbath bench.

Osbourne pledged earlier this year to visit the bench soon and in a video message he thanked Mike Olley, the general manager of Westside BID, for installing and looking after it.

He plans to see the bench whilst also visiting Ozzy the mechanical bull, which starred in the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony and was named after him following a public vote.

Osbourne announced he had Parkinson’s disease in 2020, before playing at the Games’ closing ceremony. He retired from touring last year.

Jim Simpson, Black Sabbath’s original manager, backed the calls for the freedom honour, calling Osbourne “the most famous Brummie of all”.
