Ozzy Osbourne becomes noisy and exciting in Birmingham

Ozzy Osbourne’s family accompanied the coffin of the rock legend, passing through his emotional last journey through his hometown, with thousands of fans cheering and chanting his name.

A tearful Sharon Osbourne added a pink rose to dozens of tributes left by Birmingham fans and was comforted by the family including kids Kelly and Jack.

The large crowd of onlookers created a highly charged atmosphere, making the heavy metal star respectful but appropriately noisy when shouting: “ozzy! ozzy! ozzy!”

The funeral procession was led by a brass band playing a black Sabbath song, with Ozzy’s body transported in a hearse, with a cross-shaped purple flower tribute.

A private funeral is expected to be held on Thursday.

The parade took place a week after Ozzy’s death at 76, and less than a month after his victory farewell concert, 40,000 fans were held at Villa Park Football Ground.

On Wednesday, Cortege drove past the stadium and his childhood home before heading to downtown Birmingham where fans lined the street in Ozzy and Sabbath T-shirts and scarves. Some people threw flowers and spontaneous chants and singing burst out in the crowd.

The parade stopped on the Black Sabbath Bridge, where images of band members on the bench turned into a temporary memorial.

Over the past week, fans have been leaving flowers, messages, empty beer bottles, and even bat-shaped balloons – the infamous 1982 incident when Rock Hellraiser bit the bat’s head on stage.

She was physically and morally supported when the salon came out of the car, with Kelly and Jack placing her side on her roses on the existing floral homage bed. Kelly, like Jack and Aimee sisters, is also Ozzy’s son Louis, who started with his first marriage.

They joined other families, including his grandson and Kelly’s fiancé Slipknot DJ Sid Wilson.

Family members spent five minutes watching the tribute and attracting the crowd.

Fans shouted their support, shouting “We love your Ozzy!”, “Ozzy forever!” and “Salon we love you!”

Salon acknowledges fans by raising his arms and giving signs of peace before returning to the family, Pilt continues to the past mourners.

One fan from Nuneaton, Pete Coles said there were different emotions in the crowd.

“Some people are here to celebrate and remember his memories of his wonderful times and past. But I think respect for Oz is the main thing I feel here,” he told BBC News.

“It’s just an honor to embrace the atmosphere here, all the emotions and people are singing the praises of music legends here.”

Eddie Hayes, 19, set out from Newcastle. “A person like Ozzy will never show up again,” he said. “He is purely alone. No one is like him, no one is like him in terms of music and personality.

“I traveled for three to four hours, but it was worth it in just those five minutes.”

Will Brain, another fan of Worcester, 27, said the parade was “quite poetic”.

“It shows how many people love him and how much life he has moved with music,” he said.

“It’s really exciting. It’s hard to see the family, see the salon, and how frustrated they are.”
