Ozzy’s final journey through Birmingham will be more than a funeral; it will be a moving, living monument to a man who turned factory smoke and hard streets into thunderous anthems. The procession’s route, passing landmarks like the Black Sabbath Bridge, lets fans walk beside his legacy one last time, tracing the same ground where his career first roared to life.
Sharon Osbourne’s decision to personally fund road closures and security has transformed what could have been a quiet goodbye into a citywide act of gratitude. In a time when Birmingham is struggling to pay its own bills, her gesture ensures the farewell matches the size of his influence. As the crowds line the streets, the city that shaped Ozzy will return him to the earth with noise, love, and the heavy silence that follows when a legend leaves the stage.
