Fans of the late Ozzy Osbourne from around the world will be able to join the city of Birmingham in a final, public farewell via a global livestream of his funeral procession on Wednesday, July 30. The event will unite a global community of mourners, allowing them to participate in a collective and historic goodbye to the “Prince of Darkness” as he makes his final journey through the streets that shaped him.
The procession is scheduled to begin at 1:00 PM BST (8:00 AM ET / 5:00 AM PT). For those unable to be in Birmingham, a dedicated livestream will be hosted on the official Black Sabbath Bench website, capturing the cortege as it reaches the famous landmark on Broad Street, which has become a massive shrine since Osbourne‘s passing.
The public procession, which will take place before a private family funeral, will see Osbourne‘s hearse travel through the city center, accompanied by the sounds of local group Bostin’ Brass. The route is designed to pass the Black Sabbath Bridge and bench, allowing the Osbourne family a chance to witness the sea of flowers and tributes left by thousands of devoted fans. Lord Mayor Zafar Iqbal stated that it was “important to the city that we support a fitting, dignified tribute,” and it has been reported that surviving members of Black Sabbath are “thought to be taking roles” in the event, according to The Guardian.
