An electric guitar signed by rock legend Ozzy Osbourne has been auctioned off to raise money for West Midlands charity Acorns Children's Hospice.
The 2024 Gibson SG was also signed by other iconic artists who performed at his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, including Jack Black and Billy Idol.
Osbourne donated the guitar in support of Acorns and its vital care for children with life limiting and life threatening conditions.
The auction was held last night (28 February) at a charity gala for Acorn Children's Hospice at the ICC in Birmingham.
Acorns Chief Executive Trevor Johnson said: “This remarkable guitar symbolises a truly unforgettable moment in music history.
“We are immensely grateful to Ozzy Osbourne for his extremely generous donation.”
The hospice operates three centres in Birmingham, Walsall and Worcester.
The auction comes after the announcement that Osbourne and Black Sabbath will reunite for a final performance in July.
The Back to the Beginning’s show at Villa Park will bring together some of the biggest names in rock and metal and will see also a portion of the proceeds donated to Acorns.
