Ozzy Day set to honour Birmingham’s famous son

Birmingham icon Ozzy Osbourne is to be celebrated in the city on the anniversary of his death, with a special day of live music and events.

The Prince of Darkness, from Aston, died on 22 July last year, less than three weeks after Black Sabbath’s farewell Back to the Beginning gig.

In memory of Ozzy, visitors can explore places that inspired the band, watch specially commissioned films and visit Black Sabbath Bench to mark the first Ozzy Day in the city.

“Ozzy Osbourne is one of Birmingham’s foremost cultural figures, and we continue to honour his legacy here in the city, where his journey began,” councillor Deborah Harries, cabinet member for culture, said.

After singing with several local bands, Osbourne joined Black Sabbath alongside guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler, and drummer Bill Ward in the late 1960s.

As the frontman, Osbourne is credited with inventing heavy metal, thanks to songs such as Iron Man and Paranoid.
