Ozzy Osbourne Reflects on His Childhood in Birmingham

In a touching revisit to his roots, Ozzy Osbourne, the iconic frontman of Black Sabbath, returned to his childhood home in Aston, Birmingham, in 1995. In a special report by BBC Midlands Today, reporter Gary Hudson accompanied Ozzy on his emotional journey back to the terraced house on Lodge Road, where he grew up with his parents and five siblings. The visit also included a stop at Prince Albert Junior and Infant School, where Ozzy’s early years were shaped.
