Global Campaign Surpasses 30,000 Signatures to Establish July 22 as Official “Ozzy Osbourne Day”

A global fan-driven campaign is gaining momentum to officially recognize July 22 as annual “Ozzy Osbourne Day,”celebrating the life, legacy, and enduring influence of heavy metal icon Ozzy Osbourne.

The initiative, which has already garnered over 30,000 signatures, is spearheaded by passionate fans and members of the rock and metal community. The campaign aims to honor Ozzy Osbourne’s groundbreaking contributions to music, culture, and entertainment over a career spanning more than five decades.

Born in Birmingham, Osbourne rose to fame as the frontman of Black Sabbath before launching one of the most successful solo careers in heavy metal history. His influence has shaped generations of artists and fans worldwide, earning him recognition as one of the most iconic figures in rock music.

Momentum for the campaign continues to build following a landmark declaration in Arizona, where July 22, 2025, was officially proclaimed “Ozzy Osbourne Day,” marking a significant step toward broader recognition.

Supporters are now calling on additional cities, regions, and governments—particularly in Birmingham—to formally recognize the date and celebrate Osbourne’s legacy through community events, tributes, and public acknowledgments.

Fans and supporters are encouraged to sign and share the official petition to help bring global recognition to this initiative:
