A book of condolence has been opened at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery for fans to pay tribute to  Ozzy Osbourne following his death on Tuesday 22 July.

The exhibition, Ozzy Osbourne: Working Class Hero, celebrating the solo achievements and global awards of the rock icon and the album art of the original Black Sabbath line-up, opened at the museum on Wednesday 25 June to coincide with the historic homecoming concert at Villa Park on Saturday 5 July.

The free exhibition showcases Ozzy’s most prestigious international honours – including Grammy Awards, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame accolades, MTV awards, Hollywood Walk of Fame and Birmingham Walk of Stars honours and a selection of his platinum and gold discs which recognise millions of record sales around the world, alongside photography and video that charts his journey from “a working-class kid from Aston” to becoming the world’s most recognisable global rock legend.

Along with the other founding members of Black Sabbath, Ozzy was awarded the Freedom of the City of Birmingham at a ceremony in the Council House on Saturday 28 June.

This honour recognises Black Sabbath’s significance to the cultural and musical identity of Birmingham, their strong association with the city and continued influence as pioneers of heavy metal in both Birmingham and beyond.
