Sharon Osbourne has lent her support to a campaign for Birmingham Airport to change its name to Ozzy Osbourne International in tribute to the rock icon, who died in July at the age of 76.
The petition was launched last week by comedian and broadcaster Dan Hudson, who claimed Birmingham was “embarrassed” of its importance to heavy metal and adding that Ozzy represented what John Lennon is to Liverpool and George Best is to Belfast – both those city’s airports were renamed in honour of their loval heroes.
