Rock icon Ozzy Osbourne has never shied away from his roots, and in a heartfelt revelation, he’s once again declared his undying love for Birmingham—the city that made him the legend he is today.
The Black Sabbath frontman, known for his wild antics and unforgettable music, credits Birmingham for shaping not just his career but his very identity. "It’s where I learned to be me," Ozzy shared in a recent interview.
A City That Shaped a Legend
From the gritty streets of Aston to the roaring stages of global fame, Birmingham has always been Ozzy’s anchor. He reminisced about his early days, playing in local pubs and clubs before skyrocketing to stardom with Black Sabbath.
"Without Birmingham, there’d be no Ozzy," he admitted. "The people, the music, the energy—it’s all part of who I am."
Family Ties and Fond Memories
Beyond music, Birmingham holds a special place in Ozzy’s heart for personal reasons. It’s where he met his wife, Sharon, and where his children grew up. "This city gave me everything," he said, his voice thick with emotion.
Even after decades of living abroad, Ozzy still visits Birmingham regularly, often stopping by his old haunts and catching up with lifelong friends.
A Legacy That Lives On
Today, Birmingham proudly claims Ozzy as one of its own, with landmarks and tributes celebrating his contributions to music and culture. From street art to local festivals, his influence is everywhere.
"I’ll always be a Brummie," Ozzy declared. "No matter where I go, Birmingham is home."
