Sir Elton John will pay his last respects to his friend, Ozzy Osbourne, in Birmingham today following the Black Sabbath star's heartbreaking death last week

Famous faces are expected to attend Osbourne’s funeral, including the likes of Elton John and Yungblud also expected to give readings. A source told The Sun yesterday: ‘Sharon and the family want to celebrate Ozzy’s life with his fans, with plans for the cortege to travel through Birmingham.

Ozzy Osbourne’s funeral cortege is to pass through his home city of Birmingham on Wednesday. The hearse will travel along Broad Street to Black Sabbath Bridge and the Black Sabbath bench – the sites of thousands of messages, floral tributes and vigils following the metal star’s death last week at the age of 76 – at 1pm BST.
