Ozzy Osbourne BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Ozzy Osbourne has closed out the past few days with a series of milestone moments that will be remembered as the capstone of his legendary career. On July 5, 2025, Osbourne performed his final concert with Black Sabbath at Villa Park in Birmingham, England, their hometown, in a historic show fittingly titled Back to the Beginning. This was no ordinary gig—it marked the first time in two decades that Ozzy reunited onstage with all the original members, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward, and it’s widely held this will be their last appearance together. Due to advanced Parkinson’s disease and recent spinal injuries, Ozzy sang seated on a custom-made bat-themed throne, surrounded by rock royalty and a global audience via pay-per-view. The concert doubled as a mega-charity benefit, raising a staggering 140 million pounds—about 180 million dollars—for causes including Cure Parkinson’s, Birmingham Children’s Hospital, and Acorn Children’s Hospice. The massive ten-hour event drew the likes of Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Slayer, and was hosted by Jason Momoa, who attended alongside Steven Tyler. Exclusive footage, tributes from icons like Elton John and Dolly Parton, and star-studded performances filled out a festival atmosphere that some have called the greatest heavy metal or hard rock show of all time. If that wasn’t enough headline fodder, backstage saw Ozzy’s daughter Kelly accepting a marriage proposal, adding a personal note to this historic day.
Hot on the heels of this farewell, Ozzy has announced the upcoming release of his final memoir, Last Rites, due October 7 from Grand Central Publishing. Promoted in his typical no-filter style, Osbourne promises a brutally honest, unvarnished chronicle of his wild highs, darkest lows, outrageous adventures with fellow legends, and a poignant look back at the triumphant Back to the Beginning concert. Rolling Stone broke the news on Instagram, citing his enduring appeal and the anticipation for what’s described as a hilarious, shocking, and ultimately life-affirming read.
Beyond music and memoirs, Osbourne drew media buzz for an art-meets-animal-welfare project, teaming up with rescued chimpanzees at Save the Chimps sanctuary in Florida, creating expressionist paintings to raise funds and awareness for animal rescue—a testament to his philanthropic turn in later years.
While fans and media alike mourn the end of an era, Ozzy’s legacy remains electrifyingly alive, both in headline-grabbing spectacle and his multimillion-dollar empire, which continues to generate revenue from music royalties, merchandise, TV deals, and now, publishing. His every move this week has trended across social platforms, with tributes, video clips, and fan nostalgia flooding Instagram and X, underscoring the lasting impact of the Prince of Darkness as he takes his final bow.
