In a moving tribute attached to a bunch of flowers, a fan from Bulgaria said the rock star is the reason she came to know the city.

The note reads: "Such sad news that you are no longer with us.

"You were the reason why I first heard of Birmingham when I was a child who grew up to become a rock fan in Bulgaria, and one day destiny brought me to live in my hometown Birmingham.

"Thank you for the music – from me and all your fans in Bulgaria. Rest in peace Ozz."
