All four members of Black Sabbath are set to be given the Freedom of Birmingham as part of plans which would also see late poet and actor Benjamin Zephaniah officially honoured by the city.
A report due to go before a meeting of Birmingham City Council on Tuesday next week recommends that each founding member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band – Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Terence “Geezer” Butler and Bill Ward – should become a Freeman of Birmingham.
