The Lord Mayor’s Award will be presented to Ozzy’s family to celebrate his contributions to Birmingham

An award celebrating Ozzy Osbourne’s impact on Birmingham’s cultural and musical identity is to be given to his family.

The Lord Mayor’s award, one of Birmingham’s highest civic honours, will be presented posthumously on Wednesday – the day the rock legend would have been toasting his 77th birthday.

A book of condolence, which has been signed by fans from across the globe, will also be given to his family at the private ceremony.

“He was so loved by the people of Birmingham, so it is great to come back and see the impact he has had in his hometown and how he continues to inspire generations of Brummies”, a spokesperson for the Osbournes said.
