Overview

  • The original Black Sabbath lineup took the stage together for the first time in 20 years at Villa Park to launch the “Back to the Beginning” farewell.
  • The nearly nine-hour marathon at Villa Park combined Ozzy’s solo set, Black Sabbath’s band performance and guest appearances from Guns N’ Roses, Metallica and other rock icons.
  • Ozzy Osbourne performed from a bespoke throne due to his Parkinson’s diagnosis, delivering solo hits including “Crazy Train” before rejoining the quartet for final classics.
  • More than 40,000 fans attended in person and over two million viewers tuned in via pay-per-view streaming to witness the band’s last concert.
  • All proceeds from ticket sales and streaming were donated to Cure Parkinson’s, Birmingham Children’s Hospital and Acorn Children’s Hospice as Black Sabbath formally ends its touring chapter.
