The Black Sabbath frontman's last gig was at Villa Park. He meant an awful lot to the people of Birmingham and never forgot his roots

Which minute of the game should Aston Villa fans be ring-­fencing to commemorate the late Ozzy Osbourne next season? Big Villa fan, of course, Black Sabbath’s frontman. And huge at Villa Park, his passing this week marked immediately by a club statement mourning the “world-renowned rock star and Villan”.

Liam and Noel Gallagher are the latest musicians to honor Ozzy Osbourne following his shocking death on Tuesday at 76. The rock star brothers paid an emotional tribute to the Prince of Darkness on Friday, July 25, during the first of seven Oasis shows at London’s Wembley Stadium.
