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

Elton and Ozzy maintained a friendship spanning decades as legends in their respective musical domains. The Rocket Man hitmaker and the Black Sabbath frontman undoubtedly bonded as survivors of highly publicized, long-term struggles with substance abuse - while also ranking among the world's most celebrated performers.

Ozzy died on Tuesday morning, surrounded by his family. His death came after a long battle with Parkinson’s disease, a condition he publicly revealed in 2020.
