Sharon Osborne said, after the city council agreed to honor, that the freedom of Birmingham “means a lot” for Ozi Osborn and members of the Black Saturday, after the city council agreed to honor.
In addition to the founding members of the group, Ozi, Tony Amy, Terins “Jizer” Bater and Bill Ward, will receive the honorary title in appreciation of their service to the city, after the consultants gave her the approval of the council on Tuesday.
The council also approved the Al -Wafiha Award of Birmingham to the late poet Benjamin Zivania for his “unique and distinguished contribution” in the field of literature and for its charitable and societal work.
Sharon Osborne said her 76 -year -old husband was “very proud” to receive this honor.
“This means a lot for him, he is really, he must be recognized from his home. She told BBC Radio West Midlands:” He is very excited. “” He couldn’t fully believe it, I think I was moving. He said: ‘Really, I am? But I was in prison! “
In a statement, Ozzy Osbourne said it “honors and shocked” to receive this honor.
“I am proud of Broome from Aston through and through. I am still surprised to this day that no one outside Birmingham can understand a word I say, but this made me always laugh.” “My only regret is that my mother and my father are not here to see what she has become. Birmingham forever!”
Black Sabbath, which sold more than 75 million albums around the world, was formed in 1968 in Aston, Birmingham and is considered one of the most successful metal teams in all times.
The band has a seat in its honor in the center of Birmingham. A large mechanical bull of the 2022 Commonwealth Games, shown at New Street Station, was named after a public vote.
Sharon added that her husband “dies to return home” from the United States and spend time in Birmingham, but health setbacks mean that plans to do so have declined.
She said, “He really wants to go home and this was a little difficult, because every time he performs upcoming arrangements, something happens.”
“We are not at home here. Not where we are, not what we are. People here were great for Ozzy, but he is not his home.”
She said they were donating Oysi Awards and Platinian tablets for a museum in Birmingham.
She said: “He belongs to Birmingham, he must stay in Birmingham.” “He owes a lot to Bermeengham, he is his blood, this is what he is. If he was born anywhere else, it will not be the story that is today, so he is completely embraced by his history and what it means to Birmingham.”
The crown bar was granted, where Black Sabbath played the first annoying it last year after falling into a bad situation in recent years, and there were calls for a permanent museum celebrating heavy metal music in the region.
