A new six-meter statue honoring late heavy metal pioneer Ozzy Osbourne was unveiled at this week’s “Hellfest Open Air‘ in Clisson, France. Philippe Pasqua was behind this towering new sculpture, which Ozzy‘s widow Sharon showed off on her social media today, June 18th. Sharon said of it:
“I’m sorry I couldn’t be at Hellfest for the unveiling of Ozzy‘s statue. Unfortunately I had an unexpected trip to the hospital earlier in the week. A big thank you Olivier Garnier, Ben Barbaud and everyone at Hellfest. Special thank you to @philippe_pasqua_officiel for the absolutely stunning statue!”
Osbourne isn’t the only member of rock and metal royalty to be honored at the ‘Hellfest‘, as a statue of his late friend and fellow icon, Motörhead vocalist/bassist Ian “Lemmy” Kilmister, has previously been erected on the festival grounds.
