Ozzy Osbourne’s Final Show with Black Sabbath Members Marks a Historic Farewell

Ozzy Osbourne bid farewell to the stage in a monumental performance alongside the original members of Black Sabbath, including bassist Geezer Butler, drummer Bill Ward, and guitarist Tony Iommi. The reunion took place at the ‘Back to the Beginning’ concert in Birmingham, England, on July 5, 2025, marking the first time in 20 years the band had played together. Osbourne, who has been battling Parkinson’s Disease, performed from a throne-like chair and emotionally thanked the audience for their unwavering support throughout the years. Highlights of the set included iconic songs such as ‘Paranoid,’ ‘Iron Man,’ ‘N.I.B.,’ and ‘War Pigs.’ The concert also saw Osbourne perform his solo hits like ‘Crazy Train’ and ‘Mama, I’m Coming Home.’ Actor Jason Momoa hosted the event, which featured appearances from other rock legends such as Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, and Slayer. The event was not only a musical farewell but also a charitable endeavor, with all proceeds benefiting various foundations including Cure Parkinson’s and Birmingham Children’s Hospital. The ‘Back to the Beginning’ concert served as a fitting conclusion to the long history of Black Sabbath, who first formed in 1968 and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006.
