Later, in an interview with Pollstar<\/a>, Sharon had also distanced herself from those numbers. \u201cI\u2019m really happy that we are talking, because one of the things that\u2019s frightening me is all this false press about [how] we\u2019ve made $140 million and all of this, and I\u2019m like, \u2018God, I wish we could have, for one gig,\u2019\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

In the first episode of The Osbournes podcast the family have filmed since her late-husband\u2019s passing, Sharon clarified the figure.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf one show could have raised \u2013 I mean, [the media reported] it was up to, like $190million. It\u2019s, like, any artist, just do one big show, film it and you can retire just on one show. No, it was nowhere near, and I wish that it was, but we are living in reality, in the real world.\u201d<\/p>\n

When her son Jack Osbourne asked her how much money it had generated, she said it was around $11million,<\/p>\n

\u2018Back to the Beginning\u2019 marked the first time that the full classic line-up of Sabbath \u2013 Osbourne, guitarist Tony Iommi<\/a>, bassist\u00a0Geezer Butler<\/a>\u00a0and drummer Bill Ward \u2013 had played together since 2005.\u00a0They played a streamlined four-song set of their classic songs<\/a>, with Ozzy telling the live crowd: \u201cIt\u2019s the last song ever. Your support has enabled us to live an amazing lifestyle, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Touching on the generosity of Ozzy\u2019s peers, Sharon went on to say \u201cWe paid the cost of bringing everybody in, everybody out, accommodation, everything. No one got paid. Nobody asked for a penny. They gave their time, their efforts, everything for free. People were just, oh God, so generous.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

More recently, Sharon has implored Sabbath\u2019s first manager not to release an album of the band\u2019s earliest recordings<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In June, it\u00a0was announced that a\u00a0compilation\u00a0of demos that\u00a0Ozzy, Iommi, Butler and Ward recorded in 1969 when they still went by the name Earth\u00a0was to be released under the title \u2018Earth: The Legendary Lost Tapes\u2019<\/a>, and as it stands, it had not yet been released.<\/p>\n

In other news, the Osbourne family recently revealed that\u00a0both Donald Trump and King Charles reached out to them after Ozzy\u2019s death in July<\/a>.<\/p>\n

They\u00a0also\u00a0revealed that Ozzy was secretly hospitalised just two weeks before his final concert<\/a>. While he had struggled with a number of medical conditions over the years\u2013\u00a0including Parkinson\u2019s Disease<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 Jack shared that \u201cthings started getting worse\u201d in the first week of December 2024, when Ozzy \u201ctook a little fall\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Later, in an interview with Pollstar, Sharon had also distanced herself from those numbers. \u201cI\u2019m really happy that…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":289204,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[49,48,75,2527,341],"class_list":{"0":"post-289203","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-metal","12":"tag-music"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/289203","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=289203"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/289203\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/289204"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=289203"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=289203"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=289203"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
