Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne share a strong bond with Birmingham. We spoke exclusively with Sharon about their future plans — and what she loves most about the city Ozzy always calls home.

Sharon Osbourne was in Birmingham today (June 25) cutting the black ribbon at the official opening of the world-first Ozzy Osbourne: Working Class Hero exhibition at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery.

Birmingham World spoke exclusively to Sharon Osbourne about her family’s connection to the city and her special connection to the people.

It was clear for all in attendance that she was excited to return to the city where her husband was born and raised.

“Listen it’s where Ozzy was conceived, it’s where he lived, the first part of his life and it’s who Ozzy is. This is Ozzy and he’s come home. This is where this exhibition belongs.” Sharon said.

Ozzy Osbourne was born at Maternity Hospital in Marston Green in 1948, and grew up in Aston, Birmingham.

“It’s always so friendly, the people here are great people. Very down to Earth friendly people, and it’s the best - the salt of the Earth,” she continued.

When asked if the family would return to the city long-term, Sharon simply said: “Why not?”
