Ozzy Osbourne, the English lead singer and frontman of Black Sabbath, passed away earlier this month. For those who fell even more in love with Ozzy and his eclectic family, who starred alongside him on the hit reality television series featuring their life, The Osbournes, we have a positive update to share with you. His funeral procession is a public event, viewable to everyone courtesy of livestreaming technologies.
How to watch Ozzy Osbourne’s funeral procession in the US and UK
Ozzy, aged 76, died last Tuesday. He had been living with Parkinson’s disease for several years, which greatly affected his quality of life, especially towards the end. Now, his funeral procession will take place this Wednesday, July 30. This memorial march will happen in Birmingham, located in the West Midlands region of England. It will begin at 1:00 pm BST, which is 8:00 am ET and 5:00 am PT for those residing in the United States.
Along this route, his car will pass by the infamous Black Sabbath bench, where fans often stop for pictures. This bench even has a website. And on this website, fans and well-wishers can catch an ongoing livestream on Wednesday for those hoping to catch a glimpse of Ozzy’s final ride.
How to watch in the US
If you reside in the US and have no plans to fly to the UK by tomorrow, we have you covered. Before the funeral procession begins in your timezone, head to the Black Sabbath Bench website. From here, you will see a bar that asks for your email address. After you type this information in, your screen will immediately show a livestream feed from this area, where well-wishers are already congregating with flowers, posters, and other memorabilia to honor this family man, who thrived as the Prince of Darkness.
Just remember, if you reside in the US, then your live funeral procession times begin at 8:00 am ET and 5:00 am PT.
How to watch in the UK
For those located in the UK, your online viewing options are the same as above. The only difference is that your viewing times for the aforementioned tagged website start at 1:00 pm BST. As an aside, the route for tomorrow starts at Broad Street and ends at the Black Sabbath bench.
If you are in Birmingham, please note that large crowds are expected tomorrow for Ozzy’s funeral procession. Therefore, all nearby roads will close, starting at 7:00 am BST. Fans are encouraged to arrive early for his celebration of life.
Or, again, fans can log in from the comforts of their homes. Here, they can freely weep in private while remembering Ozzy and his life well-lived. So let’s all take a moment and remember the man and his family – because without their show, (probably) none of us would be in this reality television realm. RIP Ozzy.
The Osbournes is now streaming on Prime Video. You can also catch it on Tubi and Pluto.
