This is my most favorite picture of Ozzy Osbourne throughout the years since the internet ever first became a thing. I love him so much and I love his family. I really hope they’re doing okay 🖤🥀 RIP to the biggest legend I’ve ever known in the 35 years I’ve been alive. I’ve been a fan since I was about 3 years old, no joke. My dad used to play VHS tapes of his concerts while I was growing up 🥹 I’ll never forget.

That’s all from our live coverage, thank you for joining us.

What a day it’s been – an incredibly emotional celebration of an Ordinary Man from Aston who captured the hearts of millions.

We’ve watched the metal legend’s home city come together and pay tribute to his life and career.

See You On The Other Side.

The student, called Don, had cerebral palsy and was having a bad day when Ms Williams learned one of his life’s ambitions was to meet the Black Sabbath singer, who happened to live in the area at the time.

She knew the previous owner of the house where Osbourne lived so tried the number she had for it and the call was picked up by one of the singer’s roadies.

A matter of days later, Osbourne walked up Ms Williams’s driveway, wearing a purple jumpsuit, to meet Don and the Williams family.

“He was totally normal and so kind and compassionate,” she said. “An absolutely lovely man.”

The cortege stopped at the Black Sabbath bench and bridge on Broad Street, which has become a place for fans to leave flowers and tributes.

It’s owned by Westside Business Improvement District (BID) which says it has been stunned with how much attention the area has attracted in recent days.

It’s always been a focal point,” said Luisa Huggins of the BID, “but it’s been incredible just to see how many hundreds and thousands of people have actually made the trip from all parts of the globe”.

“It’s something that really does pay homage to such an incredible, incredible man,” she added.

David Perkins, from Aston, is on Broad Street – facetiming his sister who lives in New Zealand.

It’s late at night over there.

“She thought about it and I think the three grand put her off,” David said.

He has been a fan of Black Sabbath since he was about 18, and went to the reunion concert.

“Ozzy put Aston and Birmingham on the map, didn’t he?””He’s always been one of us… back street lad who come good.

“When we came out of the concert, big strapping lads were crying – I think they kind of knew what was coming and now it’s actually happened, there’s going to be a lot of tears, a lot of emotion.”
