Jack Osbourne has urged fans not to cry but celebrate his dad Ozzy's memory by sharing stories on the first anniversary of his death.
Ozzy Day in Birmingham
July 22 marks a whole year since Ozzy's tragic passing and Birmingham will celebrate with a special Ozzy Day featuring city wide events and live music. His family want the whole world to get involved and son Jack has found the run-up to the day emotional.
He shared: "This month has been ups and down for me, mixed bag of emotion.s A lot of people have asked me what my plan is for the 22nd, am I gonna doing anything?"
"I dunno. This is the first time for me. I've been sat around and thinking a lot."
Spread the love
Jack concluded the best way to mark the anniversary is by spreading love.
He said: "What I want is anyone who wants to share a story about my dad - to share a story."
"Whether it's the first time you listened to his music, or the time you saw him play live or had an encounter with him or just what his music meant to you."
"That's what I want, I want to fill the entire day with awesome Ozzy stories. Spread the love - that's what my dad would want, he wouldn't want us sat around shedding tears, that's not his vibe, he didn't like people crying in front of him."
City-wide celebrations
Wednesday July 22 marks the first year since the Black Sabbath's passing and a free program of live music, public art, special performances and shared moments will take place in his home city celebrating the life, legacy and Brummie roots.
Visitors will be invited to explore the places that helped shape Ozzy's life, with happenings at the Black Sabbath Bench and Bridge, Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery, Birmingham New Street Station, Bullring, Selfridges and Martineau Place.
