Ozzy Osbourne’s final ever performance with Black Sabbath, filmed just 17 days before his death, is set to be shown in cinemas. <\/p>\n

The Birmingham-born star, known as the Prince of Darkness, died aged 76 in July 2025, after Sabbath’s Back To The Beginning farewell concert<\/a>, where he was reunited in the city with his bandmates for the first time in 20 years.<\/p>\n

The show, which saw them joined by an array of metal artists who regard them as heroes including Metallica, Guns ‘n’ Roses and Anthrax, gets a worldwide cinema release on 28 October.<\/p>\n

Ozzy & Black Sabbath: Back To The Beginning captures Osbourne with the band’s original line-up, guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler and drummer Bill Ward.<\/p>\n

It has been produced by Mercury Studios, whose co-leads Ken Danquah and Andrea Dunn said: “Ozzy Osbourne is one of the most influential figures in music history, and his final performance with Black Sabbath deserves to be seen on the biggest possible stage.<\/p>\n

“Last year, we brought this legendary concert to fans across the globe, offering millions the chance to be there through an unprecedented livestream. <\/p>\n

“This film is the next chapter, giving fans a new way to experience that night on the big screen.<\/p>\n

“Back To The Beginning captures the scale of a stadium performance and the intimacy of a farewell, crafted specifically for the cinema screen.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ozzy Osbourne’s final ever performance with Black Sabbath, filmed just 17 days before his death, is set to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":772926,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[96,128,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-772925","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-music","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/772925","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=772925"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/772925\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/772926"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=772925"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=772925"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=772925"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
