A set of Ozzy Osbourne-themed bank notes has been created as a tribute to the heavy metal legend. <\/b><\/p>\n
Artist Dion Kitson has designed and hand cut 1,000 of the notes in memory of Ozzy, who died aged 76 on 22 July.<\/p>\n
The Prince Of Darkness “replaces” the King on the \u00a35, \u00a310, \u00a320 and \u00a350 notes, which are available for sale with 30% of proceeds going to the Parkinson’s UK charity.<\/p>\n
Mr Kitson, from Dudley, says: “It was quite emotional, just after his passing, having to select all these images, and go through all these details of his life.”<\/p>\n
All the notes have different images of Ozzy, and also feature other moments from his life including band mates, bats, and the Aston factories he grew up around.<\/p>\n
“My favourite little bit, is there is an angel on the 20, which is giving Tony Iommi a guitar, just some really tiny details,” continued Mr Kitson. <\/p>\n
“Heavy metal, the industry, the Black Country and Birmingham, it created its own genre, I think it needs to be spoken about more.”<\/p>\n
The artist used computer software to help make the notes, making sure the details were accurate. <\/p>\n
“I’m an artist, that uses all sorts of mediums. It wasn’t easy by any means using Photoshop, I didn’t sleep for three days making these.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A set of Ozzy Osbourne-themed bank notes has been created as a tribute to the heavy metal legend.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":341404,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3936],"tags":[77,269,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-341403","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-music","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115022015486432863","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/341403","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=341403"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/341403\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/341404"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=341403"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=341403"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=341403"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
