Royal Band Play Ozzy Osbourne Tribute Outside Buckingham Palace

Ozzy Osbourne at an album signing in 2022The heartfelt tributes to Ozzy Osbourne are continuing in grand fashion following the Black Sabbath frontman’s death earlier this month.On Wednesday, thousands of mourners lined the streets of Ozzy’s hometown of Birmingham to pay their respects to the heavy metal icon at his funeral procession, where his wife, Sharon Osbourne, and their three children, Aimee, Kelly and Jack, were also in attendance. An especially royal tribute came on the same day Ozzy was laid to rest, when The Band of the Coldstream Guards performed a rendition of Black Sabbath’s Paranoid at the Changing Of The Guard outside Buckingham Palace.As captured in social media footage, the British Army musicians stood in formation as they played a brass band reimagining of the 1970 classic, which was met by cheers from onlookers.View this post on InstagramA post shared by about.london (@about.ldn)While the music legend’s signature tune might seem like an unlikely choice for a royal celebration, Ozzy once performed the very same song outside Buckingham Palace for a special concert, marking the Queen’s Golden Jubilee in June 2002, where then-Prince Charles, Prince William and Prince Harry were in attendance.This week’s musical tribute comes after the royal band has performed a number of timely (and often unexpected) covers in recent weeks, including a rendition of the football classic Three Lions ahead of the Lionesses’ Euros 2025 win and even a version of Chappell Roan’s Pink Pony Club to commemorate London Pride.The Prince Of Darkness died last week at the age of 76, having previously been vocal about his health issues, including Parkinson’s disease.Thousands of fans in Birmingham lined the streets to pay tribute to Ozzy Osbourne on WednesdayFans across the world have been paying tribute following the news of his death, including at his star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame and the Black Sabbath Bridge in Birmingham.Weeks before his death, the British singer-songwriter reunited with his Black Sabbath bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward for the first time in 20 years for a special farewell show titled Back to the Beginning.READ MORE:My Birmingham: Ozzy Osbourne On His Brummie RootsOzzy Osbourne's Family Join Thousands Of Fans In Paying Their Respects Ahead Of His FuneralKelly Osbourne Pays Tribute To Dad Ozzy In A Very Black Sabbath Way Following His Death
