Tributes to Ozzy Osbourne removed from bench will be handed to family

A sea of flowers, messages and tributes left in Birmingham in memory of heavy metal star Ozzy Osbourne are being moved on Monday before being handed to his family. Thousands of fans have visited Black Sabbath Bench on Broad Street in the musician's home city to lay bouquets, wreaths, posters, balloons, candles and cards since he died at the age of 76 on July 22. On Monday, Birmingham City Council began gathering up the tributes so they can be stored before being handed over to the Osbourne family, who visited the bench on Wednesday to lay their own flowers during a cortege procession. A handful of fans watched on from behind barriers, took photographs and hugged each other as officials in hi-vis jackets collected all the flowers and tributes which had been laid in front of the bench and on the railings behind it. The council said the mementos would be gathered and preserved 'respectfully' in agreement with the rock star's relatives and then stored 'with the utmost care at a secure location, ensuring they are protected and treated with dignity'. The council said: 'In due course, they will be passed on to the Osbourne family, so they may keep them as a lasting reminder of the public's affection and support.' In a statement released through the city council, the Osbourne family said: 'We are deeply moved by the heartfelt tributes that have been placed at the Black Sabbath Bridge and at the Black Sabbath mural on Navigation Street in recent days. 'These expressions of remembrance reflect the profound impact that Ozzy had on the city and its people, as well as fans from around the world – BIRMINGHAM FOREVER!'

Romeo Beckham joins Manchester City's John Stones as they enjoy Oasis reunion show in Wembley's VIP area

Romeo Beckham joined Manchester City's John Stones as they watched Oasis perform at Wembley Stadium on Saturday evening. The model, 22, joined the professional footballer, 31, enjoyed the concert from the VIP section where they were spotted catching up. Romeo dressed smartly in a pinstriped shirt for the event, while John opted for a khaki jacket. Brothers Liam, 52, and Noel, 58, are currently touring the UK on their long-awaited reunion tour, marking their first time on stage together in more than 16 years. Other stars at the event on Saturday included Liam Gallagher's ex-wife Nicole Appleton and her pal Emma Bunton. It's been almost a month since the siblings performed together for the first time in 16 years following an epic falling out backstage in Paris which sparked the band's split. While it's been feared that a major bust-up between the once-warring brothers could put a halt to the live shows, their latest gig showed that the pair are still on track. Liam made a sweet onstage gesture to his brother Noel as they took to the stage on Wednesday. As they continued their Oasis '25 tour at during their third show at Wembley, Liam left fans in awe as he dedicated a song to his older brother, 58. Ahead of belting out his next track, Liam told the crowd: 'Now I've gotta dedicate this next tune to our kid - Stand By Me', reports The Sun. Romeo is now sporting the same buzz-cut as his famous father David after his dad shaved his head while on board their yacht in St Tropez on Friday. However, it was perhaps a risky move given that David, 50, recently suffered a major hair disaster when the guard came off his clippers leaving him with a triangle shape at the front of his head. It's not the first time Romeo has taken inspiration from his famous father. He has notably emulated several of his father David's iconic fashion looks, particularly from the late 90s and early 2000s. However, fans were shocked that Romeo was allowing his father to shave his head following his own recent DIY buzz-cut mishap, which left him with an unmissable bald patch It comes after former Manchester United and England midfielder David was left visibly fuming after almost scalping himself while attempting a DIY buzz-cut with a pair of clippers last month. Beckham had attempted to ditch his conventional short-beck-and-sides in favour of the shaved look he famously debuted at the height of his footballing glory in 2000. But the former footballer came a cropper after the head fell from his clippers mid-shave, leaving him with a glaring bald patch on the top of his head. Having already shaved much of his hair to a fine stubble, the error left Beckham with few options, and nothing to conceal the exposed patch of skin. Worse, he was given little sympathy from his wife Victoria, who appeared to revel in her husband's misfortune by sharing a video of his uneven buzz-cut with Instagram followers. 'It does not look good,' she admits as a crestfallen Beckham reluctantly shows her the bald patch. 'I'm going to always be honest with you - it looks terrible.'

‘My daughter didn't get emotional like I did': the families who go gigging together

While some teenagers still wouldn't be caught dead with their parents at a gig, there's been a marked number of multigenerational gatherings of parents, kids, uncles and aunts at recent tours such as Pulp, Bruce Springsteen and the Oasis reunion. We spoke to four families about why they enjoy watching bands together. Mark Taubert, his seven-year-old son and his 12-year-old daughter were one of many families in attendance at Stevie Wonder's Cardiff concert in Blackweir Fields, Cardiff, in July. 'He came on to the stage and lit the place up with his charisma and magnetism. I was surprised to see quite a few different age groups in the crowd. Then Stevie Wonder brought two of his own children on stage, and it felt even more like a multigenerational event,' he says. 'My son Idris even had a brief restorative snooze during Living for the City, but then woke up for Sir Duke – one of his favourites.' Even if Idris didn't fully appreciate the whole show, Mark hopes his son will in future. 'In 80 years' time, Stevie Wonder will just be this sort of legendary figure of the past, and my son will be able to say that he saw him.' It was quite the contrast to the gigs of his youth, Mark says. 'My worst was Guns N' Roses in Mannheim when I was 16. There was a riot at that show. It wasn't necessarily something I'd take my kids to.' Before the Oasis reunion tour commenced in July, The Jesus and Mary Chain played Tramshed in Cardiff in June. The gig was a bonding experience for James Cooper and his daughter Astrid. 'As a fan of the Jesus and Mary Chain since I was 15, I was delighted that my daughter Astrid declared that they were her favourite band too,' he says. 'I recalled to Astrid that JAMC were the precursors to Oasis – being warring brothers on the same label and paving the way for Oasis in many ways – but loads better! We are both skateboarders, so we combined the day with a trip to the skatepark. I considered ourselves very lucky that we got to see the far superior band in a small venue. 'My daughter loved the day and the experience. She didn't get emotional like I did, though. It was maybe more significant for me, as she is almost same age as I was when I first saw them at 15. These experiences with one's daughter don't happen very often.' Alice Witter and her 18-year-old son travelled 200 miles to see Billie Eilish play Co-Op Live in Manchester last month. 'We both like her albums equally. I told him there's not one song we won't be able to sing along to,' she says. Sign up to Sleeve Notes Get music news, bold reviews and unexpected extras. Every genre, every era, every week after newsletter promotion 'The crowd was amazing. It was all mixed generations, but mostly my son's age or a bit older, and everybody was dancing and singing. My son took some videos, so we came home with a whole visual record of what we saw, and played it through the car stereo on the way home down the motorway, on high volume. It's the best concert I had seen since Sting in 1990s.' 'You definitely notice more and more families at concerts nowadays,' says Jo Ortlieb, 58, an English teacher who lives near Lille in France. 'Our parents didn't go to concerts, whereas we did, so I guess it's the age we live in. It's really nice to see.' Her family's first gig was Dizzee Rascal at Sziget festival in Budapest in 2013, when her sons were 11 and 13. 'It was such a great feeling to be dancing and singing along to all our favourite songs, although there was a lot of swearing. A young Hungarian couple even came up to me at the end to say they thought I was cool.' More recently, Jo, her sons, now 23 and 25, and her husband have seen Nick Cave at the O2 in London and Asian Dub Foundation in Lille. 'My husband and I are big fans of Nick Cave, so the kids grew up listening to him at home. I get quite emotional when they play songs that we all used to sing together in the car or in the kitchen. We like to think we've given them an eclectic taste in music. We never did that sort of thing with our parents, so it's really nice to be able to do it now.'
