His death came less than three weeks since he took part, along with his band mates, in Black Sabbath’s farewell gig, Back to the Beginning. Dozens of musicians including members of Metallica and Aerosmith performed at the Villa Park concert.
The event, which takes place ahead of a private funeral, will allow his family a chance to see the many memories his loyal fans have left alongside flowers and tributes, the council said.
Local musicians Bostin’ Brass will accompany the procession.
Describing him as a “son of Birmingham”, Iqbal said: “He put Birmingham on the map. He put Aston on the map.”
He said he had stood in a queue to sign a book of condolence, where he had spoken to fans, and said: “The love they showed for Ozzy and his family was immense.”
The city was proud to host the event, he said, and added he was grateful the family had offered to pay to enable it to happen.
