The legendary Ozzy Osbourne, the ‘Prince of Darkness,’ will be honored with a heartfelt funeral procession in his hometown of Birmingham, England, on Wednesday, July 30, 2025, following his passing on July 22 at age 76. Fans from around the world are invited to join, either in person or via a live stream, to celebrate his incredible life and legacy.
The procession starts at 1:00 p.m., with thousands expected to line the streets. Bostin’ Brass, a local brass band, will perform a moving tribute to Ozzy’s impact on music. The route will pause at the Black Sabbath Bench and Bridge, where fans have left flowers and tributes, offering a moment to reflect on his role in creating heavy metal and his deep connection to Birmingham.
The Birmingham City Council, working closely with the Osbourne family, has ensured smooth arrangements, including traffic diversions. Fans unable to attend can watch the live stream from the Black Sabbath Bench, and a book of condolences is open at the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery for messages of love and remembrance.
After the public event, a private funeral will allow Ozzy’s family—Sharon, Aimee, Kelly, and Jack—to say their goodbyes. This farewell celebrates not just a music icon but a beloved son of Birmingham whose influence will live on forever.
Join us to honor Ozzy’s legacy, share stories, and celebrate a life that changed rock music forever.
