Headline: Ozzy The Bull Unveiled By Sharon Osbourne At Birmingham New Street Station
Caption: Sharon Osbourne has helped unveil a giant iron bull named after her husband, Ozzy, at Birmingham New Street station. The 10-foot-tall beast was a centrepiece of the opening ceremony to last year’s Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. Over the last month the huge moving mechanical sculpture, has been installed on the station’s concourse for thousands of people to admire in the heart of Birmingham and Britain’s railway network. Ozzy – then known as the Raging Bull formed the climax of the Birmingham 2022 Opening Ceremony alongside 50 women chain makers. The chain makers joined Sharon, Ozzy's older sister Jean Powell and Birmingham 2022 Gold medal-winning super heavyweight boxer Delicious Orie, for the event. The unveiling follows an overwhelming public vote for the Raging Bull to be renamed Ozzy - in honour of the Black Sabbath frontman, who appeared as a surprise performance in the Games' closing ceremony in his hometown. The bull has, however, undergone something of a facelift, as new mechanisms installed, so the bull can move its mouth, head, eyes, eyelids, and tail, and speakers have been added to make him roar. For the first ten days of his life in Birmingham, Ozzy will perform at quarter past the hour between 8am and 8pm, moving his head, roaring to the crowds, and swishing his tail.
