Flowers, beer bottles and an orchestra

Just two and a half weeks ago, disciples of “Prince of Darkness” roamed Birmingham for the last gig of Ozi Osbourne. Now they are back to mourn after his death – by placing pint glass and whiskey bottles between flowers and candles.

Emromptu Shrine’s messages for Ozi Osbourne in Birmingham show how deep its effect was felt, and how far it spread.

Some expressed the pride of the city of their home (“Birmingham Forever Ozi – You Rock!”), While others came from the forward Afield (“Grassias Ozi!”; “Thanks to the music – in Bulgaria).

Other people were personal messages how much their music meant.

“You have touched millions of people, my whole life is almost played in such a way, like picking me up,” read another.

The fans collected at places including the Black Sabbath bench – including cut -out figures of four band members. Ozi was given a sabbath hat and a scarf of Aston Villa FC.

The bench itself was covered with flowers – with some beer bottles, empty glasses and a jack daniel bottle, in honor of their famous hard drinking lifestyle.

“It is astonishing to see a large community coming together and support everyone,” said a 20 -year -old Nat Baker from Reddich at Worsester Sharey.

Baker wore a special Eston Villa shirt, which was sold to Mark Ozi and Sabbath’s huge concert in Villa Park less than three weeks ago.

The gigalum was billed as his farewell show. Ozi faced long-running health problems and remained seated-but appeared in good souls, and no one hoped that he was finally expected to come to the end for the end.

Other places were built before that incident to celebrate the show – and now it has been converted into a Memorial.

A row of flower bunches depict a wall line line line showing the faces of four members of the band on a bridge near the New Street Station.

Stafford’s Paul Williams said, “To be honest, when I heard the news last night it was not really drowned, and I thought that coming here and all tributes and all love are being expressed, it will actually start feeling real, and it is,” it is.

“It seems comfortable to be part of the community here, where we all thank you for our grief and whatever we gave to our love and world.”

Mr. Williams paired a sheet of paper to the memorial with his portrait of Ozi.

“I am a comic artist, and so the way I came naturally the most naturally to me, he was to be a quick doodle to express his gratitude, before I came down in the train this morning. It is not necessarily not necessarily my best work, but I am happy to see it among all the flowers, being blown away from the wind.”

Paul Alan laying those flowers included a classical composers of Walsals. His brother loved Sabbath – but Mr. Alan said that he was recently catching on the appeal of a heavy metal founder father.

“I am only starting to understand his place in music history, and I have great respect for it,” he said.

“He took his industrial background and heritage, and somehow managed to expose in music, with a strange mixture of Lord of the Rings Ideas and Dennis Wheatly Vichakraft, Devil Pooja, Science-Stories.

“They had this melting pot of new ideas. They were not part of a hippie movement. They were not part of a Prog Rock Cheese. They were just talking.”

In other places, the city of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra rebuilt Black Sabbath and sent Ozi to a symphonic-as part of a performance under departure boards at the open-opening track-new street stations with Doom-Laden self-examination from the debut album.

An exhibition about Ozi’s life in the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery – which was opened to match with the farewell gig – has now become another destination for fans to remember him.

Soon a queue was formed for a queue-seeing a cross seen by a black and white picture of a cross, which was kept in a hurry by the museum on Wednesday morning.

Steve Bennett of Liverpool said, “I have just written,” Consade towards family, and Ozy made their way through The Hole in the Sky. “

“I have received every album of them, and they also have lots of stuff.”

Ozy “one of the great frontman of Rock, in a great band, which changed the way the music changed”, he explained.

Another signatoror for the book of condolence was 32 -year -old Tamara Jenna. “I said, ‘Relax in peace, Oji. You proud of Birmingham.”

He said: “I heard this news last night and this is such a sad disadvantage for Birmingham. He did a lot for the city and heavy metal, and I think it is definitely worth paying the honor for what has been done for the city, let’s let the style go alone.”

The age limit of visitors for the exhibition proved Ozi’s cross-general appeal.

Jonty Carter, a volunteer at the museum, was at the beginning of the journey of Sabbath – after watching them to play in a pub in Birmingham in their early days by fellow members of their boys brigade.

He said, “They snatched me in the entrance, and were on Black Sabbath. So I saw him when I was 12 years old, which is just incredible,” he said.

“And some music remains just for me forever. I don’t think it is going to cross anytime. It was playing at that time.”

Kelly Peer with her two children went to pay her honor at the exhibition.

“He never changed – even when he went to America, he was always a brumi that we love,” he said.

“The laughter that I feel is that the way he speaks, with all these oath words, is very natural for the broom in general. My father has grown up in Eston, and he is exactly the same.

“So for me, he could only be one of your uncles. He was under the earth with no wind and grave. I just love him.

“It was cute that he also got his last wish – to return to England and to do his last gig here, which was unforgettable.”
