Stereophonics have also been making the most of the summer, with outdoor gigs across the UK and Europe as well as a headline set at the Isle of Wight festival.

Bostin Brass Band Reflects on Playing Ozzy Osbourne's Memorial: ‘We Were Just a Conduit of This Emotion'

To properly send off Ozzy Osbourne, the Black Sabbath frontman who died July 22 at age 76, his family needed the perfect band. It couldn't be a metal band — too loud for a memorial service. And it couldn't be a funeral band — too solemn and boring. Fortunately, city officials in Osbourne's hometown of Birmingham, England, had a solution: Bostin Brass Band, a local, 13-year-old New Orleans-style group that had performed several Ozzy and Sabbath classics at other large events. 'We'd done that,' trumpeter Aaron Diaz tells Billboard. 'Proof of concept.' More from Billboard Ozzy Osbourne Dead at 76, Just Weeks After Black Sabbath's Final Concert Ozzy Osbourne's 20 Best Songs: Staff Picks Here Are Black Sabbath & Ozzy Osbourne's Biggest Hit Albums on the Billboard 200 Chart During Osbourne's public memorial Wednesday (July 30), Bostin Brass Band marched at the front of thousands of Birmingham well-wishers, as well as the hearse carrying the singer and five SUVs containing Osbourne's widow, Sharon, and his children Jack and Kelly, among others. The three family members, all in black, congregated at the city's central Black Sabbath Bridge, taking in the mass of floral tributes, balloons and flags. Bostin Brass had been playing 'Crazy Train,' but they stopped as the family mourned, allowing for a brief silence. 'We were just a conduit of this emotion,' Diaz says. 'We're aiding that collective moment.' Diaz, a longtime Birmingham resident, spoke to Billboard by Zoom and reflected on what it was like to help a city say goodbye to its Prince of Darkness. What was it like being there, emotionally, with so many people mourning Ozzy? All of us have played in that location thousands of times. We've done parades, we've done concerts, we've done street gigs. But there's never been a roped-off crowd. There's never been that kind of devotional direction of energy. You go by and get snippets of 'Come on, guys!,' 'Yes, son!' and 'Pull for Ozzy!' By the end, on the square during the crowd dispersal, we played 'Changes.' Every time I went to the chorus, I covered my eyes. I don't think I looked anyone in the eye for a good 15 minutes. It was too much. Where were you in relation to the crowds? We were sandwiched between the police cordon and motorbikes, and we led the cortege from in front of the hearses. There was Ozzy's hearse up front and the family in about five black SUVs following us. We processed at the beginning, tailing into the street, playing 'Iron Man' all the way down. The crowds were singing along — half singing and half chanting. It's like being at a metal gig. There's a term, 'oggy, oggy, oggy!' Have you heard that one? It's a rugby shout. But obviously, it's Ozzy, so everyone's 'Ozzy, Ozzy, Ozzy!' When we reached the tribute, we played 'Crazy Train' and we stopped and the family came out. I could sense from watching the live feed from the bridge there were a gazillion people there. It was folks filling up from about half [past] seven. There were already some people that camped out opposite the bridge. Slowly, over the next three hours, it filled up. All the offices there had their lunch break and everyone was coming down in their lanyards — anyone and everyone from Birmingham. A lot of people [were] traveling from very far afield — in band T-shirts, young children, grandparents, everyone in between. How did Bostin Brass get this gig? We work with a company called OPUS — Outdoor Places Unusual Spaces. They've got a good relationship with the city council. We started working with them around the Commonwealth Games, which came to Birmingham in 2022. Black Sabbath re-formed to do the closing ceremony. Ozzy was there and his chant of 'Birmingham forever!' struck a chord. Fast-forward to 2023, this animatronic bull became a tourist attraction. By public vote, it was called Ozzy the Bull. There was a big unveiling — Sharon Osbourne was there. We were involved with that, through our involvement in public events. Our baritone player, Alicia Gardener-Trejo, she's a big metal fan, as well as her mom. They go to festivals together. She was like, 'Well, this is the perfect opportunity. I'm going to start arranging this metal concert for brass band that I've wanted to do for my mom's 70th birthday.' We played 'Paranoid,' 'Iron Man' and 'Crazy Train.' A week ago, the event organizers come around and say Ozzy Osbourne had died: 'We're sending this, we're going to get this over to the Osbournes, you have to do this, here's the information.' I thought it would be a Birmingham City Council tepid event, but [the public memorial] is an event the Osbournes have funded. It kind of has been this growing dawning of thought: 'This is huge, this is epic.' We are very light on our feet, we can march down the road, we don't need any amplification, but we can bring that kind of big energy. And we're an unusual band. We're not a metal band, even though we're enthusiasts and devotees of him and his legacy, but we're really tied to that New Orleans tradition with jazz musicians. So it's marrying those two things. Maybe it puts us in a category of one. What else do you hope people take away from this memorial? Just the pride we have in representing the city. Ozzy's a proxy for the character of the city. Birmingham's used to being sat on a lot and not being as affluent or as a desirable and celebrated location. But it's fought back. I don't think other places in our country enjoy that grit, that lineage. It felt significant for us to champion that. I don't think Ozzy's music is something that started here and left. It's really stayed here.

Ozzy Osbourne's Final Years to Be Shown in Intimate Documentary ‘Coming Home'

The final chapter of Ozzy Osbourne's life will be shown in an upcoming documentary, just weeks following his death. The Black Sabbath frontman and soloist died of a heart attack on July 22 at age 76. Following a procession in his hometown in Birmingham, England, he was laid to rest on the estate of his home in Buckinghamshire on July 31. More from Billboard 9 Best Moments From Black Sabbath & Ozzy Osbourne's Epic All-Star Farewell Show Kelly Osbourne Honors Dad Ozzy Osbourne With NSFW Post Days After His Funeral King Charles' Army Band Pays Tribute to Ozzy Osbourne With Black Sabbath Cover The new BBC documentary Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home features footage from the final three years of his life, up to and including his farewell concert on July 5. The documentary was first announced in 2022 as Home to Roost and was conceived as a three-part series, but became a one-hour special as Osbourne's health deteriorated over the years. The film will be broadcast on BBC One at 9 p.m. BST on Aug. 18, and will also be available on the iPlayer service. An international broadcast has not yet been confirmed, nor has a trailer been shared. The documentary promises 'intimate' access into Ozzy and wife Sharon's lives as they complete their move back to the U.K. from their Los Angeles base, and the rocker prepares for his final live performance. Ozzy, Sharon and their children Kelly and Jack all contribute to the film. Clare Sillery, BBC's head of commissioning, documentaries, said in a statement: 'We are honored to have had the opportunity to film with Ozzy and his family. The film captures an intimate glimpse into their journey as they prepare to return to the U.K. It features family moments, humor, reflection and shows the enduring spirit that made Ozzy a global icon. We hope it brings comfort and joy to Ozzy's fans and viewers as they remember and celebrate his extraordinary life.' Ozzy's farewell concert Back to the Beginning took place at Birmingham's Villa Park on July 5 and featured an all-star line-up, with Metallica, Slayer, Guns N' Roses and Yungblud among the performers. The event concluded with a nine-song set by Ozzy, and saw him reunite with Black Sabbath's original members for the first time in 20 years. The event benefitted a number of local charities including Birmingham Children's Hospital and Acorns Children's Hospice, and raised a reported $190 million.

BBC Pulls Ozzy Osbourne Documentary Chronicling Rocker's Final Years Just Hours Before Scheduled Airing

A planned BBC One documentary chronicling the final years of Ozzy Osbourne's life, Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home, was abruptly pulled from the network's schedule on Monday (Aug. 18) just hours before it was slated to air with no explanation. According to a BBC report, the network had been expected to air the doc on Monday evening, it 'has postponed the screening without giving reasons or a new transmission date.' Osbourne died on July 22 at age 76, two weeks after performing his final show at his home soccer stadium, Villa Park, in Birmingham, England. More from Billboard Ozzy Osbourne's Home Soccer Club Pays Tribute at Villa Park With 'Crazy Train' Walk-Out and Moment of Silence Drake's 'Miss' Hits No. 1 on Rhythmic Airplay Chart, Extending His Record JADE Calls Out 'Privileged' Matty Healy for Not Speaking Up About Politics: 'Disappointing' The film was described as a 'moving and inspirational account' of the final chapter of Osbourne's life, filmed over three years with participation from his wife/manager Sharon Osbourne, and two of the couple's children, Jack and Kelly. 'The resulting film is a moving portrait of one of the world's most entertaining families at a pivotal moment in their history,' reads a description of the doc. 'The strength of Ozzy and Sharon's love for one another and their kids' devotion to them is palpable. So too is the family's acceptance of Ozzy becoming increasingly unwell.' The doc was originally pitched as a chronicle of the Osbourne's return to England after years of living in Los Angeles, serving as a kind of bookend to the family' beloved MTV reality show, The Osbournes, which aired on the network from 2002-2005. That version, first pitched in 2002 as a reality show-like series called Home to Roost, evolved as Osbourne's health deteriorated due to the effects of Parkinson's disease and a series of surgeries on Ozzy's neck and spine. 'Ahead of retirement, Ozzy is determined to perform one last time, for himself and for his fans. Whatever it takes,' the description continued. 'Pulling off both the move and the gig will be a phenomenal achievement, and son Jack is worried about the toll of relocating to a country that his parents have barely spent time in over the last two decades, as well as the impact on their close-knit family dynamics. But Ozzy has never been a man to take no for an answer, and he sets about achieving his goals with the determination, blistering honesty and razor-sharp sense of humour that have endeared him to millions for over 50 years. He stops at nothing to make his body work as well as it used to, with the film capturing remarkable levels of resolve.' A BBC spokesperson told US Weekly that 'the film has moved in the schedules and we'll confirm new [transmission] details in due course.' The film will show Osbourne 'heroically' fighting to get fit enough to perform at the moving, star-studded Back to the Beginning show, where he played solo and Black Sabbath sets from a goth-y throne alongside sets from Metallica, Slayer, Guns N' Roses, Mastodon, Lamb of God, Yungblud and many more. Amid the 'love, laughter and tears' and sweet family moments, the doc also reportedly features scenes of Ozzy's adult children accepting that the end is nigh, as evidenced by Kelly's comment that 'Iron man wasn't really made of iron,' in reference to one of Sabbath's most iconic songs. 'We hope it brings comfort and joy to Ozzy's fans and viewers as they remember and celebrate his extraordinary life,' BBC's head of documentary commissioning, Clare Sillery, told BBC about the honor of filming the Osbournes during this difficult period. Two of the film's executive producers told the BBC that it was an 'inspiring and poignant' account of Ozzy working to play one last show. 'Ozzy was loved by millions around the world not just for his music, but for his sense of mischief and his honesty, all of which we saw plenty of in the final years of his life,' said Ben Wicks and Colin Barr. 'But one thing shone through even more brightly to us and that was Ozzy's intense love for his exceptional family who were by his side through it all.'
