The Black Sabbath singer’s hearse will travel along Broad Street to Black Sabbath Bridge in his home city on Wednesday
Ozzy Osbourne’s funeral cortege is to pass through his home city of Birmingham on Wednesday.
The hearse will travel along Broad Street to Black Sabbath Bridge and the Black Sabbath bench – the sites of thousands of messages, floral tributes and vigils following the metal star’s death last week at the age of 76 – at 1pm BST.
Lord Mayor Zafar Iqbal said: “It was important to the city that we support a fitting, dignified tribute ahead of a private family funeral. We know how much this moment will mean to his fans.”
The Osbourne family has paid for the event and all associated costs, and Osbourne’s wife, Sharon, and children Kelly and Jack – possibly among his other children – will follow the procession before the private funeral later in the day, the details of which have not been made public.
