\n\tWhen Ozzy Osbourne<\/a> died on July 22, 2025, the music world mourned the loss of a generation-defining artist and the defining heavy metal<\/a> pioneer.<\/p>\n \n\tBut 17 days earlier, fans, loved ones, and Osbourne\u2019s greatest collaborators met for a star-studded and highly emotional farewell tribute concert. Over 44,000 fans swarmed Osbourne\u2019s hometown of Birmingham, England<\/a>, and watched groups like Metallica, Mastodon, Slayer, and Guns N\u2019 Roses bid a musical farewell to Osbourne in the Villa Park stadium. It was also Osbourne\u2019s final performance, a bittersweet solo moment and the reunion of Black Sabbath\u2019s original lineup playing together for the first time in almost 20 years. The 10-hour event became the two-hour concert film Ozzy Osbourne<\/a> & Black Sabbath: Back to the Beginning, out in theaters today.<\/p>\n \n\tThose without tickets \u2014 or fans desperate to relive the concert again and against \u2014\u00a0don\u2019t have to fret.

It\u2019s amazing. Everything about the show was amazing and just a joyous occasion and one that will go down in music history,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s just something that will stand the test of time. It was groundbreaking for what it was. Like everything with Ozzy, he\u2019s the first.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tAccording to Sharon, Osbourne\u2019s medical team advised him against doing the concert but the heavy metal legend insisted.\u00a0\u201cThey advised us not to do the show. They said it would kill him. We were all together and Ozzy said, \u201cIt\u2019s not an option. It\u2019s what I want.\u201d He said, \u201cI know I\u2019m dying. If I miss a few months of my life, I want to go this way. This is what I want.\u201d It was his wishes and we went through it,\u201d Sharon said. \u201cHe was very, very emotional. But you know what? It was beautiful too. It was amazing. How lucky was he to go out that way? I say he went out like a Viking. It was the way he wanted.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Following its theatrical release, film and soundtrack versions of Back to the Beginning will be available on DVD,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":659872,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[146,26259,85,46,409,5521],"class_list":["post-659871","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-heavy-metal","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-music","tag-ozzy-osbourne"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/659871","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=659871"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/659871\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/659872"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=659871"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=659871"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=659871"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
