The 72-year-old was overcome with grief as she stepped out of a van to add her own flowers to the thousands of tributes left to heavy metal legend Ozzy Osbourne in Birmingham city centre earlier today.<\/p>\n
Accompanied by children Kelly, Jack and Aimee \u2013 as well as Louis, from Ozzy\u2019s first marriage \u2013 she broke down in tears as she emerged to the cheers of thousands before beginning the walk to the tributes left by the side of the road.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Clutching a tissue and a bouquet of flowers wrapped in a black sheet, she stumbled a little, as Jack checked on her, he and Kelly holding her by the arm and hand.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
She then laid her flower as fans called her name and shouted: \u2018We love you.\u2019<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Ozzy\u2019s children laid their own tributes before escorting their mother back to the car.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Clasping her hands to her face, she wept at the outpouring of love \u2013 before giving the crowd a show of gratitude in return, making a peace sign with her hand alongside eldest child Aimee, 41.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Thousands of metal fans turned out to see off the Godfather of Heavy Metal, who died on July 22 aged 76.<\/p>\n

Ozzy\u2019s funeral cortege stopped at the \u2018Black Sabbath Bridge\u2019 off Birmingham\u2019s Broad Street to view the tributes, watched by thousands<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He had performed his final show less than three weeks before he died at he and Sharon\u2019s Buckinghamshire estate, surrounded by his family.<\/p>\n
The flowers and messages had been left at the \u2018Black Sabbath Bridge\u2019 in Birmingham\u2018s Broad Street.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Ozzy\u2019s funeral cortege made a stop off en route to the rock god\u2019s final farewell to view the tributes \u2013 and give thanks for the support given by fans in recent days.<\/p>\n
Louis, Ozzy\u2019s son from his first marriage to Thelma Riley, wore a purple tie with skull-and-crossbones patterns.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The funeral cortege was led along the street by local brass band Bostin\u2019 Brass, which performed versions of Black Sabbath songs.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In front of the van bearing the Osbournes was a Jaguar hearse carrying the singer on his final journey \u2013 adorned with a floral tribute in purple, the rocker\u2019s favourite colour, that simply read: \u2018OZZY\u2019.<\/p>\n
The cortege had earlier passed Ozzy\u2019s childhood home in Lodge Road, Aston. The present day owners of the house placed a picture of Ozzy in their front window.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Legendary hell-raiser Ozzy moved back to the UK earlier this year after finally being given the all-clear by doctors to leave the US for good.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
At the time of his death he had been battling Parkinson\u2019s and a wealth of problems with his neck and back linked to injuries including a 2003 quad bike accident and a fall in 2019.<\/p>\n
Complications from his injuries and the Covid pandemic meant he never completed his final farewell tour \u2013 but he spent months training for the Back To The Beginning career finale he performed at Villa Park on July 5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
