The City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra have paid tribute to Ozzy Osbourne, whose death was announced yesterday.
The orchestra performed the epic, self-titled opener from Black Sabbath's debut album, as orchestrated by Christopher Austin for the Birmingham Royal Ballet production of Black Sabbath - The Ballet. The tribute took place at the city's New Street Station, beneath Ozzy the Bull, the giant mechanical beast built for the 2022 Commonwealth Games and now on permanent display at the station.
