Large “Ozzy Forever panels. Birmingham Will Always Love You” (Ozzy forever. Birmingham will love you forever) had been installed throughout the route. The procession, with its hearse decorated with purple flowers forming the artist’s first name and preceded by bikers and a street orchestra interpreting black Sabbath titles, paraded in front of many fans, some in tears, borrowing, obviously, the famous Black Sabbath Bridge. A place where the faithful of Ozzy Osbourne and his group had already made an appointment as soon as his death announced to file flowers and other marks of affection.
Death of Ozzy Osbourne: Tribute to an American monument on which he had urinated in 1982
The entire Osbourne clan participated in this tribute. His widow, visibly very marked, both by the singer’s disappearance and by the fervor triggered by it, was supported by his children: Jack, Kelly and Aimee. Louis, born from the first marriage of Ozzy Osbourne, was also present. All filled the ritual which consisted in laying flowers at the foot of the Black Sabbath Bench, a bench installed by the city of Birmingham in honor of Black Sabbath.
The procession also made a passage in front of the birthplace of Ozzy Osbourne, in Aston.
