THE PASSING OF BLACK SABBATH’S OZZY OSBOURNE

Please scroll down to view the full photo galleries.

6th JULY 2025

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.

23rd JULY 2025

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.

3rd AUGUST 2025

Ozzy’s funeral cortege passed down Broad Street on the 30th July with huge crowds in attendance.

Most of the original tribute materials have been passed on to Ozzy’s family but since then there has still been many flowers and other stuff added on and around the bench.

As a local resident I have been regularly documenting the scene and have created an on-going set of monthly photography galleries, please see these galleries below.

I will continue to document the Black Sabbath Bench on Broad Street…
