July 22 marks the one year anniversary of Ozzy Osbourne’s death and his hometown of Birmingham, England is going to honor him with the first “Ozzie Day”. The metal legend has died aged 76 after suffering a cardiac arrest.

Concerts, public art exhibitions, special shows dedicated to the life, legacy and roots of Birmingham’s ‘Prince of Darkness’ are being organized across the city. The City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra will perform a special performance in honor of Ozzy Osbourne.

Those commemorating ‘Ozzy Day’ are encouraged to visit the ‘Ozzy Osbourne: Working Class Hero’ exhibition, as well as join the ‘Celebrating Black Sabbath in the City’ tour and explore the places that helped shape its history, with activities at the Black Sabbath Bridge and Bench, Birmingham Museum and Gallery, the station and Martineau Square. Screenings of short films documenting artistic moments, live performances and fan memories are also planned across the city.

Sam Watson, chairman of the city’s Business Development Board said of 22 July: “Ozzy Day is a fantastic example of Birmingham working together to celebrate the legendary Ozzy Osbourne. By bringing together businesses, cultural organizations and public bodies, we are creating a city-wide experience that encourages people to celebrate the legacy of a truly global, Birmingham-born icon.”

Councilor Deborah Harris, committee member for culture at Birmingham City Council, added of Osbourne’s legacy: “Ozzy Osbourne is one of Birmingham’s most important cultural figures and we continue to honor his legacy here in the city where his journey began. I’m glad to see the city partners come together to celebrate Ozzy’s influence on music and his hometown pride.”

In total, Osborne, both with Black Sabbath and as a solo artist, appeared in Birmingham 52 times throughout his career. Two of his last three shows were in his home town, with his final gig taking place at his farewell show, Back to the Beginning, at Villa Park just three weeks before his death.
