Renowned heavy metal icon John Michael "Ozzy" Osbourne, best known as the lead singer of the British band Black Sabbath, passed away at the age of 76. He recently reunited with Black Sabbath for a final, electrifying performance, just weeks prior to his death on July 22. Fans gathered in Birmingham, England, a week later on July 30, to pay their respects at his funeral procession.
The heartfelt funeral saw Ozzy's cortege escorted by a live brass band, Bostin' Brass, hailing from his hometown. The emotionally charged procession paused at the Black Sabbath bridge, now a public memorial, where Osbourne's family, including his grandchildren, gathered to view the tributes left by fans.

The family's statement expressed their deep sorrow and requested privacy during this time. Prior to his passing, Ozzy delivered a powerful performance, despite battling Parkinson's disease, marking a triumphant end to his career.
