Hard-Rock Royalty and some 40,000 fans gathered for an ear-spliting tribute to Ozi Osbourne, which the heavy metal icon says his last live performance.
The original lineup of Osbourne band Black Sabbath performed on Saturday (July 5, 2025) at Villa Park Football Stadium in his home in his home in Birmingham, Central England.
The 76 -year -old singer, who was detected Parkinson’s disease, sang from a black throne who rose from under the stage.
“Let the madness begin!” He urged that he took the stage, and later paid tribute to the fans.
Osbourne said, “I don’t know what to say, man, I have been kept for six years. You don’t know how I feel – thank you from under my heart,” said Osborn. “You all … special. Let’s be crazy, come on.”
The band is getting back together
Osbourne performed several songs before joining Black Sabbath Bandmates Tony Iom, Terence “Geyser” Butler and Bill Ward for the first time, for the first time in 20 years. The band finished a small set with one of its most famous songs “Paranoid”.
It capted a day -day metal celebration that included performance from the choice of anthrax, metallica and guns an’Roose. The artists who sent plans and walnas included Jack Black, Dolly Partane and Elton John.
“You are one of the most notable singers of our time,” John said. “You are king, you are legend.”
Osbourne formed a Black Sabbath in Birmingham in 1968, a city known for its heavy industry which became the crucible of the British metal scene. Black Sabbath’s Devil Imagery and Thundaras Sound made him one of the most influential-and parents-soverening-matel acts of the era. Both band and Osbourne have been included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a single artist.
Osbourne’s fame expanded to the mainstream in the early 2000s when he joined his wife Sharon Osbourne, and his two children in the MTV reality TV show “The Osbornness”.
He has struggled with health issues since a deadly quad-bike accident since 2003. He revealed his Parkinson’s diagnosis in 2020 and stopped the tour in 2023 after a spinal surgery.
