Karma

Ozzy Osbourne is coming home. The body of the metal icon who died on July 22 at age 76 will travel through his home city of Birmingham, England on Wednesday (July 30). According to the BBC, fans will get their chance to say goodbye to Osbourne when his cortege is paraded along Broad Street in the city center beginning at 1 p.m. BST tomorrow.

The hearse will then make its way to the Black Sabbath Bridge and bench, where fans have left thousands of tributes, messages and flower arrangements since Osbourne’s passing. The bench paying homage to the pioneering heavy metal band fronted by Ozzy was dedicated in 2019 and has since become a king of pilgrimage site for fans of the group and its beloved singer. It features images of all four original members of the group — guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler and drummer Bill Ward — along with the band’s logo on the right side and the slogan “Made in Birmingham” below.
