The global campaign to officially recognize July 22 as “Ozzy Osbourne Day” is gaining unstoppable momentum, with the petition now closing in on its next major milestone of 25,000 signatures.
Fans from around the world have united behind the movement, with hundreds of fans signing the petition every day as support continues to grow. The petition calls on Birmingham City Council to honor Ozzy Osbourne’s historic role in creating heavy metal and placing Birmingham on the global music map.
Adding to the growing excitement, Sharon Osbourne has once again shown her support by liking another Instagram post promoting the petition — a powerful sign that the Osbourne family is aware of and backing the movement as it continues to grow.
“This isn’t just about a musician,” said Marvin ‘Metalhead Marv’ Daw, founder of This Day in Metal and organizer of the petition. “It’s about recognizing a cultural icon who helped create an entire genre of music and gave Birmingham a permanent place in global music history.”
Supporters are being urged to help push the campaign over the 25,000-signature mark by sharing the petition and encouraging friends, family, and fellow metal fans to sign.
