The CEO of Birmingham Airport has rejected growing calls to rename the travel hub after rock legend Ozzy Osbourne, despite a wave of public support and a petition that continues to gather signatures. According to BBC, airport boss Nick Barton insisted that keeping the airport's current name remains 'incredibly valuable for development,' even as fans push for a tribute to one of the city's most iconic musical exports.

Ozzy, the frontman of the heavy metal band Black Sabbath, passed away at the age of 76 on 22 July.
