Ozzy Osbourne urges Birmingham to name the Commonwealth Games Bull for a special reason

It was an unexpected star of the Birmingham Commonwealth Games 2022.

Storming onto the Opening Ceremony surrounded in symbolic chains with smoke swirling around its gleaming red head. The bull captured hearts as his struggle to be freed amid slavery was relayed at the iconic event watched by millions around the world.

And its journey hasn’t ended - as the Commonwealth Games Bull (also known as the Raging Bull) is due to be installed at its permanent home at New Street Station following a campaign to save the animatronic model from the scrapheap.

Ahead of the bull taking up residence at one of the busiest train stations in Britain, locals are being asked to come up with an official name for itl.

A shortlist has been drawn up - and Ozzy Osbourne has followed requests from West Midlands Mayor Andy Street and Network Rail to vote, for a special reason. The shortlisted names for the Commonwealth Games Bull are:

• Ozzy
• Bostin
• Brummie and
• Boulton

Ozzy is definitely up for sharing his name with the Commonwealth Games Bull. He took to social media to urge people to choose Ozzy and vote to name it after him. Sharon is supporting her husband, as she retweeted his request.
