Sharon Osbourne Cheers Renaming Birmingham Airport After Rock Legend Ozzy!

Sharon Osbourne has expressed her excitement about the idea of renaming Birmingham Airport after her late husband, Ozzy Osbourne, the legendary rock star from Black Sabbath. Sharon described the proposal as 'fabulous' and said it would be amazing if the airport was called Ozzy Osbourne International. She believes Ozzy was loved by fans all over the world, and naming the airport after him would be a dream come true. The campaign to rename the airport was started by Dan Hudson, a podcaster and comedian, after Ozzy passed away at the age of 76 in July.

The campaign has gained a lot of support, with more than 70,000 people signing a petition to back the idea. Dan Hudson said he was inspired by other airports named after famous people, such as John Lennon. He is thrilled that Sharon Osbourne is supporting the campaign, saying her involvement has given it even more momentum. Dan is determined to convince Birmingham Airport to change its name and believes that with enough public support, it could happen.

Edward Fitter, a member of Birmingham City Council, is also in favor of the idea. He says Ozzy's legacy deserves to be remembered in the West Midlands, and that the city should continue to celebrate his contribution to music and Birmingham's global identity. There is already a statue called Ozzy the bull at Grand Central, which Edward thinks is fantastic. Brand expert Andy Barr believes renaming the airport would be a positive move for the region, giving it a 'feel-good boost. ' He acknowledges that changing the airport's name and code would involve costs and logistical challenges, but says it could be achieved through a partnership between public and private groups. Birmingham Airport has stated that it is working on an exciting tribute to Ozzy Osbourne and is committed to honoring his legacy in its terminal.
