Ozzy Osbourne’s funeral plans are now confirmed, with the rock icon’s body returning to his hometown for a final procession on Wednesday. Fans will have the chance to pay their respects to the Prince of Darkness during the route through Birmingham, UK.
The procession will begin at 1 p.m., traveling from Osbourne’s family home to the city’s famous Broad Street. The event will be accompanied by the local Bostin Brass Band to honor the legendary musician. Along the way, the procession will pause at the Black Sabbath Bench and Bridge, a popular memorial site where thousands have left flowers and tributes. The city expects large crowds as Birmingham prepares to give Ozzy the farewell he deserves, with the Lord Mayor describing him as the beloved “son of Birmingham.” Osbourne passed away last Tuesday at 76, surrounded by his wife, Sharon, and their children. Fans continue to mourn, still stunned by the loss following his recent farewell performance on July 5.
