Ozzy Osbourne BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Ozzy Osbourne made global headlines over the past few days with what has now been confirmed as his final public performance, headlining the monumental Back to the Beginning concert at Villa Park in Birmingham on July 5, 2025. According to People Magazine, over forty thousand fans including celebrities such as Jason Momoa and Steven Tyler attended to witness the Prince of Darkness take the stage one last time with Black Sabbath, the band that defined his career and the heavy metal genre. Ozzy, now seventy-six and living with the effects of Parkinson’s disease diagnosed in 2019, performed while seated on a dramatic bat-themed throne—a poignant image that circulated widely on social media, with his daughter Kelly Osbourne sharing backstage moments on Instagram. The show was not only a historical milestone, marking the first Black Sabbath performance together in almost two decades, but also featured a rock supergroup lineup and surprise guests, creating what Rock Feed called a truly historic moment in music.
Sharon Osbourne, his wife and longtime manager, confirmed to Billboard that Back to the Beginning is indeed Ozzy’s final concert, declaring, “We’re done.” Sharon emphasized that after decades in the spotlight, they are stepping away from the endless touring schedule to enjoy life on their own terms. Ozzy himself had described the show as giving him a reason to get up each morning, and in a recent Guardian interview, reflected on his gratitude for his life and career, stating he felt as if he was living on borrowed time.
The concert was also a major charity event, reportedly raising around one hundred and forty million pounds for Parkinson’s and children’s charities, according to the Times of India. As part of the build-up, exclusive merchandise drops and an Ozzy artifact pop-up at the Bullring in Birmingham generated lines of eager fans, underlining his ongoing cultural influence and branding power. The event was streamed worldwide, allowing fans unable to attend in person to take part in what Ozzy’s official site and numerous outlets dubbed the end of an era.
On the business front, stories about Ozzy’s fortune—estimated at two hundred and twenty million dollars—trended, highlighting his legacy in merchandising, real estate, reality TV, endorsements, and licensing. There is no substantiated news of future albums or tours, and all recent statements from the Osbourne camp firmly reinforce that this was a definitive farewell, not a marketing ploy or trial balloon.
In summary, Ozzy Osbourne spent the last week at the epicenter of both music news and pop culture conversation, leaving the stage on his own terms and sealing his place as a living legend in the annals of rock. Speculation about his health or future projects remains just that, as all official word from the Osbourne family stresses this is the true curtain call.
