In a moment fans never imagined would come, the world is preparing to say goodbye to Ozzy Osbourne, the heavy metal icon who transformed music, rebellion, and the meaning of rock itself.
The funeral procession for the legendary Black Sabbath frontman will take place tomorrow in his hometown of Birmingham, and for millions of fans across the globe, there’s one burning question:
How can I watch it live?
Whether you grew up blasting “Crazy Train” on your Walkman, screamed your heart out at a Sabbath show, or discovered Ozzy through his wild reality TV antics, this is your chance to witness history—live and unfiltered.
Here’s everything you need to know about how to livestream Ozzy Osbourne’s funeral procession, and what to expect from this once-in-a-generation farewell.
WHEN AND WHERE: OZZY’S FINAL RIDE THROUGH BIRMINGHAM
The procession will begin on Wednesday (tomorrow), with the cortege departing at 12:00 PM BST and pausing at 1:00 PM BST at one of the most symbolic locations in Ozzy’s life:
The Black Sabbath Bridge on Broad Street.
This landmark—once just a stretch of city pavement—has become a shrine for fans, covered in black roses, handwritten letters, album covers, and candles ever since the news of Ozzy’s passing broke.
At 1:00 PM, the Osbourne family—Sharon, Kelly, Jack, and others—will stop at the bridge to read messages and honor the legacy of the man who rose from working-class Aston to become the godfather of heavy metal.
