Ozzy Osbourne was joined by his closest family members for an emotional farewell performance on July 5, 2025, at Villa Park in Birmingham, marking what is expected to be his final live show. The legendary frontman of Black Sabbath performed seated on a custom gothic-style throne due to his ongoing health challenges, including Parkinson’s disease. Despite his physical limitations, the night was a powerful celebration of his legacy.
His daughter Kelly Osbourne was present backstage, documenting moments throughout the day. In a social media post following the concert, she called the experience “magic” and praised her father for saying goodbye “in the most beautiful way possible.” She shared photos and video clips with other performers, including a moment with Yungblud. Kelly’s boyfriend proposed to her.
Jack Osbourne, Ozzy’s son, also attended and posted a touching tribute after the show. Sharing throwback images of himself onstage with Ozzy from years past, Jack captioned the moment: “For everything I learned along the way… the final Good Night We Love You All.” His words reflected both deep gratitude and the bittersweet nature of the event.
Sharon Osbourne, Ozzy’s wife and longtime manager, played a central role in organizing the farewell. She made headlines by removing a band from the lineup that had reportedly demanded payment for their appearance, reminding everyone that the concert was a benefit event with proceeds going to Cure Parkinson’s, Birmingham Children’s Hospital, and Acorns Children’s Hospice. Sharon remained near Ozzy throughout the day, managing logistics and ensuring everything ran smoothly.
The concert featured appearances by Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Steven Tyler, and a number of guest musicians assembled into two rotating supergroups curated by Tom Morello. But the emotional climax came when Ozzy reunited with Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward for a rare full performance by the original Black Sabbath lineup — the first time they had played together in two decades.
Fireworks closed the night, and Ozzy addressed the crowd for what is likely the final time. “Thank you for sticking with me,” he said. “This is the end, and I love you all.” The performance ended with “Iron Man” and “Paranoid,” bringing his career full circle in the city where it all began.
For Ozzy’s family, it was not just the end of an era, but the culmination of a journey spanning more than five decades. Their presence underscored the deep personal significance of the night — a final chapter written with love, legacy, and unforgettable music.
