The brass band that led the funeral procession for music legend Ozzy Osbourne are to perform a tribute to him at a music festival in Willenhall on Sunday.

"The Rolling Stones played one of their first gigs at the baths in February 1964, as did Cream in November 1966, with many other famous names playing throughout the 60s, including Robert Plant and Slade, who used to play at the baths in payment for free rehearsal use of St Giles Youth Club."

Thousands of Ozzy fans flocked to Birmingham last month for his funeral procession on Broad Street, which was led by the band playing Black Sabbath songs.

It was held a week after his death at the age of 76 and less than a month after his farewell concert for 40,000 fans at Villa Park football ground.
