Charity pays tribute to Ozzy
Our Charity has paid tribute to music legend Ozzy Osbourne, who has died aged 76.
The Birmingham-born superstar passed away on Tuesday 22 July, just weeks after he performed with his band Black Sabbath at a charity farewell concert hosted at Villa Park.
Profits from the concert were split between Birmingham Children's Hospital Charity, Acorn's Hospice and Cure Parkinson’s – the disease the singer was diagnosed with in 2020.
In a statement, our Charity said: “We’re so very sad to hear the news of Ozzy Osbourne’s passing. Ozzy had an incredible career and life, but never forgot his Brummie roots.
“Our hospital was extremely lucky to have his support over the years and most recently with his iconic final performance, which will leave a lasting legacy for our sick kids.
“We’ll be forever grateful to Ozzy for all he has done in shining a global spotlight on our beloved hospital along with Cure Parkinson’s and Acorn’s Children’s Hospice.
“Our thoughts are with Sharon and the whole Osbourne family. Our hospital has lost a friend, Birmingham a son and the world a musical legend.”
