As the world mourns the loss of Ozzy Osbourne, a new petition has been launched to provide a fitting tribute by renaming an airport in his honor.

Osbourne died 17 days after enthralling thousands of adoring fans in an emotional farewell gig in Birmingham featuring dozens of other performances including by Metallica, Guns N' Roses and Aerosmith's Steven Tyler in day-long heavy metal extravaganza.

Ozzy Osbourne’s fans had sensed the end was near. Admirers watched the heavy metal icon perform while seated on a black throne at his final show just a few weeks ago.
