Brummie

Two city centre exhibitions dedicated to the achievements of Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath are set to celebrate "a true Brummie icon", organisers say.

As a performer, he first came to prominence in the 1970s with anecdotes about Midlands life delivered in a Brummie accent - and his novelty single Funky Moped, a surprise top five hit in 1975.

Since pre-sale tickets went live on Tuesday, fans have been scrambling for the chance to see the Brummie rockers perform one last time.

Sharon Thompson, deputy council leader, said he was a "proud Brummie and a man of compassion who never forgot the community that shaped him".

Now a Peaky Blinders film is coming to Netflix, with Oscar winner Murphy set to step back into his role as everyone's favourite Brummie gangster.
