Ozzy Day

Ozzy Day on July 22 will celebrate “the life, legacy and Birmingham roots of the Prince of Darkness,” city council says

Ozzy Osbourne’s hometown of Birmingham, England has announced plans to honor the late Black Sabbath singer on the anniversary of his death.

On July 22, or the first annual “Ozzy Day” in the city, the Birmingham city council has plotted “a free program of live music, public art, special performances and shared moments celebrating the life, legacy and Birmingham roots of the Prince of Darkness,” turning “the city into a living tribute to the Aston-born rock legend,” the council said Thursday.

The city has long been a destination for Ozzy fans thanks to tourist destinations like the “Black Sabbath Bench” and Osbourne murals.
