The British Parliament is pushing for the Queen to honor Black Sabbath for their “services to music.”
Several members of Parliament, in addition to the Birmingham City Council, have written to the Queen asking for her “direct intervention,” says MP Khalid Mahmood. The request comes less than a week after Ozzy Osbourne and Tony Iommi made a surprise appearance at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, their hometown.
“For all their global fame, they have kept strong links with Birmingham, demonstrated by their barnstorming surprise performance at the closing ceremony of Commonwealth Games,” Mahmood says.
