Meaning behind Sharon Osbourne\u2019s heartbreaking gesture to Ozzy as she pays tribute during his procession<\/h1>\n

Sharon was joined by her three children, Jack, Kelly, and the rarely-seen Aimee, as the family gathered to\u00a0pay their respects<\/a>\u00a0alongside thousands of fans who lined the streets of Birmingham on Wednesday (30 July).<\/p>\n

A sea of floral tributes had been left at the iconic Black Sabbath bench, and Sharon and her children each left a lilac flower wrapped in black paper on top of the hundreds of bouquets left by heartbroken fans.<\/p>\n

A black hearse travelled the streets of Birmingham, with a purple cross on top and flowers spelling out Ozzy\u2019s name.<\/p>\n

The frontman of Black Sabbath and reality TV star\u00a0passed away at the age of 76<\/a>\u00a0last week, just weeks after performing at the iconic Back To The Beginning farewell concert held in his honour.<\/p>\n

His family released a statement at the time, saying: \u201cIt is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved\u00a0Ozzy Osbourne<\/a>\u00a0has passed away this morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.\u201d<\/p>\n

As well as laying a floral tribute for her late husband, an incredibly emotional Sharon was spotted raising two peace signs to the sky before breaking down in tears.<\/p>\n

Many fans of the band have interpreted this as a touching tribute to Ozzy, who was known for the gesture.<\/p>\n

A fan shared their reasoning on Facebook: \u201cJust an observation from a guy who has been a Sabbath\/Ozzy fan since the 70s. Some will say I am nit picking and not respecting how others view things. But I am seeing a lot of posts and pictures of billboards with images of the devil horns hand sign.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow I know that sign has become the \u2018official\u2019 sign of rock and roll, but Ozzy\u2019s gesture has always been the double peace sign.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was [Ronnie James] Dio that did the horns and made them popular with rock and roll long after Ozzy had been doing the double peace signs. Let\u2019s all please remember just another one of the things that Ozzy brought us!\u201d<\/p>\n

Ronnie James Dio, who died in 2010, joined Black Sabbath in 1979 after the band fired Ozzy. He performed as the band\u2019s frontman until 1982, before joining briefly in the early 1990s.<\/p>\n

During the funeral procession today, the hearse passed by Ozzy\u2019s childhood home, a two-bedroom terrace house at 14 Lodge Road in Birmingham.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t revealed to fans that the cortege would pass the location, with many gathering opposite the famous Black Sabbath bench and lining the publicized route.<\/p>\n

Many fans threw flowers onto the front of the hearse as it passed by, while accompanied by the sounds of the Bostin Brass band playing covers of Ozzy\u2019s songs.<\/p>\n

Sharon was seen sharing a hug with the Lord Mayor of Birmingham, Zafar Iqbal, who talked about what Ozzy meant to the people of the city.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cOzzy was more than a music legend \u2013 he was a son of Birmingham. Having recently been awarded the Freedom of the City and following his celebrated appearance at the Back to the Beginning concert at Villa Park earlier this month, it was important to the city that we support a fitting, dignified tribute ahead of a private family funeral. We know how much this moment will mean to his fans.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re proud to host it here with his loving family in the place where it all began, and we are grateful that they have generously offered to pay to enable this to happen and support the city is giving him the farewell he deserves.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kelly had previously paid tribute to her father by wearing his iconic purple round glasses.<\/p>\n

Sharon Osbourne granted her husband, Ozzy Osbourne one final wish before he passed away.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Tuesday (July 22),\u00a0Ozzy<\/a>\u2018s family announced that he had sadly died, \u2018surrounded by love\u2019 at the age of 76.<\/p>\n

Back in 2019, Ozzy was diagnosed with\u00a0Parkinson\u2019s disease<\/a>, which is a progressive, neurological condition in which different areas of the brain become damaged over time.<\/p>\n

It is reported that\u00a0Ozzy<\/a>\u00a0was also suffering from other health issues at the time of his death, although a cause of death has not been confirmed.<\/p>\n

Prior to his passing,\u00a0Sharon<\/a>\u00a0organised Ozzy returning to his home town in the\u00a0UK<\/a>, for the Back to the Beginning benefit concert, where Ozzy performed alongside\u00a0Black Sabbath<\/a>, raising $189 million for charity.<\/p>\n

\u201cParkinson\u2019s is a progressive disease. It\u2019s not something you can stabilize. It affects different parts of the body, and it\u2019s affected his legs,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut his voice is as good as it\u2019s ever been.\u201d<\/p>\n

While another said: \u201cBats and doves would like a word.\u201d<\/p>\n

The fan was referring to an incident in 1982, in which Osbourne was on stage at a gig in Des Moines, Iowa.<\/p>\n

A fan threw a bat on stage, which Osbourne believed to be made of rubber. He bit the head off the animal and it\u2019s still not clear if the bat was alive or dead when it was thrown.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in another incident \u2013 while celebrating a new album in 1981 \u2013 Osbourne \u2018bit the head off\u2019 a dove, which was supposed to be released to mark the launch of his new music.<\/p>\n

According to rock biographer Mick Wall \u2013 who wrote the book\u00a0Black Sabbath: Symptoms of the Universe<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 Osbourne \u2018pulled out one of these doves and bit its head off just to shut [a PR] up\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s when they threw me out. They said I\u2019d never work for CBS again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Osbourne later told Sounds magazine\u2019s Garry Bushell that the dove was already dead.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to make a real impression. The scam is the bird was dead. We were planning to release it there, but it died beforehand. So rather than waste it, I bit its head off. You should have seen their faces,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey all went white. They were speechless. That girl in the pictures was screaming. Eventually, a bloke came up and said, \u2018You\u2019d better go\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

While speaking\u00a0to<\/a>\u00a0The Scotsman, he said: \u201cI was taking drugs so much I was a f*****. The final straw came when I shot all our cats.
