"Later today, Ozzy Osbourne will become the first artist to receive a star on the Walk of Fame in his native Birmingham, England. &amp;quot;We feel it&amp;apos;s an honor and it&amp;apos;s representing Birmingham,&amp;quot; Bill Bohanna, one of the project&amp;apos;s organizers, told the BBC. &amp;quot;He&amp;apos;s a Birmingham lad and he&amp;apos;s done rather well for himself.&amp;quot; Osbourne, who earned his Hollywood Walk of Fame star, which sits just outside Ripley&amp;apos;s Believe It or Not! museum, in 2002 (he was memorably inducted by Marilyn Manson), released over a dozen albums with Black Sabbath, put out his ninth solo album earlier this year, starred in three seasons of The Osbournes, bit the head off a bat, will embark on the 11th installment of the summer festival that bears his name this year and can boast having the best episode of Behind the Music ever made. &amp;quot;Ozzy will be emotional,&amp;quot; his wife, Sharon, told a Birmingham newspaper. &amp;quot;He&amp;apos;s come an awful long way from Ashton as a kid with no money and a lot of dreams.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
