The world mourns the loss of Ozzy Osbourne, the legendary “Prince of Darkness,” who passed away on July 22, 2025, at 76.

Funeral arrangements have been finalized for the legendary musician, featuring a public procession in Birmingham, his place of birth, providing an opportunity for admirers to pay their respects to the heavy metal legend one final time.

Ozzy’s funeral procession is scheduled to move through Broad Street on July 30 at 1 PM BST. It will make a stop at the Black Sabbath Bench and Bridge, an area now adorned with flowers and heartfelt messages left by mourning fans.

A local brass band, Bostin’ Brass, will accompany the procession, adding a musical tribute to the man who defined a genre.

Lord Mayor Zafar Iqbal called Ozzy

“more than a music legend, he was a son of Birmingham”.

The family-funded event ensures a dignified yet celebratory send-off, true to Ozzy’s wish for “no mope-fest”.

How Fans Can Participate

For those unable to attend, a livestream of the Black Sabbath bench will be available, allowing global fans to witness the tribute.

Road closures begin at 7 AM, with officials urging early arrival due to expected crowds.

A book of condolences remains open at Birmingham Museum, alongside the “Working Class Hero” exhibition opened by Sharon Osbourne in June.

Ozzy’s Legacy: A Celebration, Not a Goodbye

His final performance at Villa Park in early July, reuniting Black Sabbath’s original lineup, now stands as a poignant farewell.

True to his irreverent spirit, Ozzy once joked about funeral pranks, like “knocking sounds from the coffin”.

Yet his impact is no joke, tributes pour in worldwide, from Mexico to Greece, calling him “the king of metal”.
