Rock legend Ozzy Osbourne returned to his home city on Friday to accept the first place in a new Hollywood-style "Walk of Stars". The so-called Prince of Darkness was greeted by around 1,500 fans who had braved intermittent rain for up to four hours while waiting in Birmingham's Centenary Square.Using typically earthy language, Osbourne told the crowd his star on the Second City's streets meant far more to him than his spot on the pavement on the Walk of Fame in Los Angeles.
Addressing his fans from a stage set up in the square before unveiling the star, the 58-year-old said: "This means more to than any f****** Hollywood thing."
"I am really honoured," the Aston-born singer then told reporters. "All my family is here and I thank everyone for this reception - I'm absolutely knocked out."
