On 6th July 2025 I got some photos of Black Sabbath fans queuing to have selfies at the Black Sabbath bench on Broad Street in Birmingham after the band’s final concert at Villa Park.
Ozzy Osbourne, the band’s singer, passed away on the 22nd July.
On the 23rd July floral tributes, messages and a lot of other things were placed by fans on and around the bench, eventually growing to a vast array of tributes spreading out from the bench.
Ozzy’s funeral cortege passed down Broad Street on the 30th July with huge crowds in attendance.
Most of the tribute materials have been passed on to Ozzy’s family but on 17th August there are still many flowers and other stuff on and around the bench.
I have created some galleries of my photography covering this sad period.
