Ozzy Osbourne will be laid to rest in his native Birmingham, England this Wednesday (July 30), but for those not in Birmingham, there will be a livestream taking place from the Black Sabbath bench in Birmingham where you can watch the procession – at this location around 3 pm BG time.
The private funeral event will be preceded by a public funeral procession that will travel through the center of the singer’s childhood hometown, passing the Black Sabbath bridge and bench where thousands of fans have left messages and flowers in tribute to the pioneering heavy metal singer.
The cortège will be accompanied by a live brass band performance by musicians from BOSTIN’ BRASS. Several road closures will be in place around Birmingham, including Broad Street, which will be closed to traffic from 7am while buses and trams will be diverted.
Birmingham council said it had worked “at pace” to coordinate the event with Osbourne’s family, who have funded any associated costs.
