Ozzy Osbourne's final Black Sabbath concert, filmed just 17 days before his death, is coming to cinemas worldwide on 28 October

From the Newshound archive · first published 19 September 2026.

Sharon Osbourne revealed the concert happened because Ozzy had one dying wish — to perform again and say goodbye to his fans. The film, 'Ozzy & Black Sabbath: Back To The Beginning', captures the original Black Sabbath line-up of Ozzy, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward reuniting at Birmingham's Villa Park for the first time in over 20 years. Tickets go on sale on 24 September, with screenings in Dolby Atmos and 5.1 surround sound.

The sold-out Villa Park show also featured Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Slayer and Pantera, with Tom Morello as musical director.

Ozzy, diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2019, told the crowd: 'You have no idea how I feel — thank you from the bottom of my heart.'

Geezer Butler said of the night: 'It was like pure love — I could feel it as if it were tangible.'
