Black Sabbath farewell gig becomes feature-length film
Pioneering rock band Black Sabbath's farewell performance will live forever as a "feature-length concert film". Black Sabbath recently performed their final concert at Villa Park in Birmingham - a star-studded event that featured appearances from Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Yungblud and Travis Barker. The concert is now being transformed into a "big-screen celebration of Ozzy Osbourne and the legacy of Black Sabbath". "We are excited to announce the theatrical release of Back To The Beginning: Ozzy's Final Bow - coming early 2026," a statement on Osbourne's Instagram page says. "The feature-length concert film will be a big-screen celebration of Ozzy Osbourne and the legacy of Black Sabbath, capturing the raw power and emotional weight of Ozzy's final bow in his hometown of Birmingham." The film is being billed as a "love letter to Ozzy". "Presented as a love letter to Ozzy and the pioneering sound of @BlackSabbath, the theatrical release will be a distilled version of the epic all-day event held at Villa Park," the statement says. "Featuring thunderous performances of War Pigs, Iron Man, Children of the Grave and a show-stopping Paranoid, the film promises a deeply personal and electrifying farewell from the godfather of heavy metal with exclusive behind-the-scenes access and interviews from this iconic live performance." Yungblud - whose real name is Dominic Harrison - has previously admitted he's "found solace in being similar" to Osbourne. A long-time fan of the Black Sabbath frontman, the singer paid a glowing tribute to Osbourne ahead of the band's farewell gig at Villa Park. "Since I can remember, Ozzy has always been a part of my life," Yungblud told The Independent. "I grew up around rock music, and he was a character to me before I even knew anything about him. I remember his hair, I remember his massive mouth, I remember his glasses from when I was three years old. "If you know me and my family, we're truly f***ing loud - they used to call us The Osbournes. So, I kind of found solace in being similar to them. "Growing up watching The Osbournes and the madness, I was always like that. I was always out there and crazy. "To see someone being so loved and accepted with all their madness … I really found solace in a figure like Ozzy."

Ozzy starts rehearsals for Black Sabbath's farewell gig
Ozzy Osbourne and his Black Sabbath bandmates have started rehearsing for their final show next month. The British rockers' original line-up of Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward - are reuniting for the last time at the Back To The Beginning show at Birmingham's Villa Park on July 5. The group took to X to share a photo of Ozzy, Geezer and Bill, and revealed: "Rehearsals are underway for Back To The Beginning: Ozzy's Final Bow." The gig will mark the first time that Black Sabbath's original line-up will have played together for 20 years but Osbourne insists that it will be the definitive end for the Paranoid rockers. The singer, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2019, told Mojo magazine: "After this show, I'm going home, closing the door and will look back upon the great career I've had. "But I'm done, done, done! You gotta know when to call it quits." Osbourne confessed that he would be feeling anxious even if was just a "regular gig". "I was born nervous. Right now, I'm feeling grateful and proud and I'm sure I'll be feeling dozens more emotions on the day of the show." Osbourne will play his own short set before joining the band, and other guests include Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Anthrax and Alice In Chains. All profits will be split equally between Cure Parkinson's, Birmingham Children's Hospital and Acorn Children's Hospice.

Ozzy Osbourne starts Black Sabbath rehearsals for farewell gig
Black Sabbath have started rehearsing for their farewell gig. The Paranoid rockers' original lineup - made up of Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward - are reuniting for the last time at the Back To The Beginning show at Birmingham's Villa Park on July 5. The group took to X on Tuesday (24.06.25) to share a photo of Ozzy, Geezer and Bill, and revealed: "Rehearsals are underway for Back To The Beginning: Ozzy's Final Bow." The three men are smiling in the snap, while Ozzy - who has been open about his health struggles in recent years - is holding a cane as they sit backstage. Tony wasn't in the photo, but he's still set to be part of the historic show. The gig will mark the first time that Black Sabbath's original line-up will have played together for 20 years but Ozzy insists that it will be the definitive end for the Paranoid rockers. The heavy metal icon, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2019, told Mojo magazine: "After this show, I'm going home, closing the door and will look back upon the great career I've had. "But I'm done, done, done! You gotta know when to call it quits." The War Pigs singer confessed that he would be feeling anxious even if was just a "regular gig". He added: "Even if it was a regular gig, I would be a nervous wreck. I was born nervous. "Right now, I'm feeling grateful and proud and I'm sure I'll be feeling dozens more emotions on the day of the show." The lineup will alsoi feature the likes of Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Gojira, Halestorm, Alice In Chains, and Lamb of God. Guitarist Tony admitted there are "so many other moving parts" to the upcoming spectacle. He told Music Week: "This would be a big, monumental thing if it all comes good. The worrying thing for me is the unknown. "We don't know what's going to happen. Normally, when we'd tour, we'd rehearse and run through the thing for a while, and it's just us. But with this event there are so many other moving parts."
