Sharon Osbourne has welcomed news her husband Ozzy Osbourne and his Black Sabbath bandmates are set to receive the Freedom of Birmingham.

Speaking to 大象传媒 Radio WM, the TV personality and former X Factor judge said her husband was very excited and "it means a lot to him to be recognised [by] his home".

Later on Tuesday, Birmingham City Council will discuss a proposal to award City Freeman status to the four founding members of the band, which formed in Aston in 1968.
