Ozzy Osbourne’s funeral procession, set for Wednesday, July 30th in Birmingham, England, will mark the final journey of a rock icon whose influence stretched far beyond music. Beginning at 1 p.m. on Broad Street, the procession will be a poignant celebration of Ozzy’s life and legacy. As the hearse makes its way through the heart of his hometown, it will pause at two deeply symbolic landmarks—the Black Sabbath bench and the bridge named after the legendary band he helped create. There, fans will have a moment to pay their respects, joined by the stirring sounds of Bostin’ Brass performing live.
This public tribute has been thoughtfully planned by the Osbourne family in collaboration with Birmingham City Council, with the family personally covering all costs. Their goal: to honor not just a music legend, but a son of Birmingham who never forgot his roots. Traffic and transportation changes have been carefully managed to accommodate the event, ensuring a smooth and respectful farewell for those attending.
For fans unable to be there in person, a livestream of the Black Sabbath bench will offer a way to participate in the tribute from around the world. It’s a fitting gesture for an artist whose music resonated globally and shaped the very sound of heavy metal.
Ozzy passed away on July 22nd, but his voice, energy, and defiance remain etched in rock history. From *Paranoid* to *Crazy Train*, he gave the world songs that were raw, electrifying, and utterly unforgettable. As Birmingham prepares to say goodbye to one of its most beloved sons, fans from every corner of the globe will remember not only “The Prince of Darkness,” but the man who turned pain into power and noise into legend. His legacy will thunder on—louder than
ever.
