Ozzy Osbourne
On Wednesday, thousands of fans and well-wishers lined the streets of Birmingham, England to watch Ozzy Osbourne’s funeral procession. Family members, notably Sharon, Jack, Kelly and Aimee, had to stop at one point to join a memorial on the Black Sabbath Bridge.
A brass band led the procession, playing Black Sabbath and Ozzy songs.
Ozzy passed away on July 22nd at the age of 76. He died 17 days after playing his final show.
A private service was held for the family, whereabouts unknown.
