El artista, quien fue diagnosticado con Parkinson en 2019, falleció el 22 de julio, apenas unos días después de haber celebrado su último concierto, Back to the beginning, un espacio en el que la banda tocó junta por primera vez en 20 años.

La alcaldía de Birmingham informó que el cortejo pasaría por el puente Black Sabbath, siguiendo un itinerario planificado con la familia del músico. Posteriormente, Osbourne será enterrado en un funeral privado.

“Ozzy era más que una leyenda de la música, era un hijo de Birmingham, para la ciudad era importante celebrar un homenaje digno y acorde”, declaró el martes pasado Zafar Iqbal, alcalde de esta ciudad.
