Thousands of people in Ozzy Osbournes hometown Birmingham, together with the deeply moving family, have said goodbye to the music legend. Before burial in the family of the family, the coffin was driven through the city with Osbourne’s body.
On the “Black-Sabbath-Brücke”, named after Osbourne’s band, his widow Sharon Osbourne rose from the car supported by her children. With tears in her eyes, she put down flowers – where there had been a number of fans of her icon in the past few days.
“He inspired me, I love his music, I really love her,” said a woman on the sidelines of the procession of the news agency PA. “I learn to play guitar so that I can learn some of his songs.”
Farewell concert only a few weeks ago
The legendary British singer and reality TV star died on July 22nd at the age of 76. As a co-founder of the band Black Sabbath, he was considered one of the first representatives of the heavy metal genre-and one of the most dazzling.
“We know how much this moment will mean to his fans,” said Birmingham’s mayor Zafar Iqbal during the preparation for the funeral service. Black Sabbath was founded in Birmingham in the 1960s. Just a few weeks ago, Osbourne, who had Parkinson, had given a acclaimed farewell concert in his hometown.
