King Charles III has earned praise from fans of the late Ozzy Osbourne after honoring the Black Sabbath frontman in a way few expected. The rocker, who passed away on 22 July at the age of 76, was laid to rest on Wednesday, 30 July, in his hometown of Birmingham.
Osbourne’s death came just weeks after he shared an emotional farewell with fans at a reunion show with his bandmates. Performing from a black throne at Villa Park on 5 July, he thanked the 42,000-strong crowd, saying, “You’ve no idea how I feel – thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
A royal gesture at Buckingham Palace
