A new campaign is calling for Ozzy Osbourne to receive Birmingham's Freedom of the City award, timed with his induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The campaign is led by Westside Business Improvement District, which has previously honoured Ozzy and Black Sabbath with stars on Broad Street and a dedicated Black Sabbath Bench. The Freedom of the City is a rare recognition, with only 50 recipients since 1888.
