Summary

  • July 22 will be marked by fan tributes after Jack Osbourne asked people worldwide to post stories about Ozzy Osbourne under #OzzyDay on the first anniversary of the singer's death.
  • Instagram was Jack's chosen outlet for a remembrance he said should center on love rather than grief, from first listens and live shows to personal encounters and what Ozzy's music meant.
  • Jack had earlier said he planned to keep the anniversary mostly private for family after Ozzy's passing had already unfolded in a very public way.
  • Birmingham is still staging an official Ozzy Day with live music, films, public art and tributes across the city center, including sites tied to Black Sabbath and Ozzy's career.
  • The citywide event underscores Ozzy's lasting hometown legacy, with a limited-edition shirt listing all 52 Birmingham concerts he played across his career.
