“Back to the Beginning”: Ozzy Osbourne’s Last-Ever Performance Set to Shake Birmingham – Global Livestream…watch hear
In a moment destined to go down in rock history, Ozzy Osbourne — the Prince of Darkness himself — is preparing to bid farewell to live performance with one final, thunderous concert in his hometown of Birmingham. Titled “Back to the Beginning,” this last-ever show will be held in September 2025 and broadcast to fans around the world via global livestream, offering a final chance to witness the legendary frontman in action.
For Ozzy, this is more than just a concert. It’s a full-circle tribute to where it all started. Birmingham, the gritty, industrial city in the West Midlands, gave birth not only to Ozzy Osbourne but to heavy metal itself. It was here, in the late 1960s, that Black Sabbath formed and changed music forever. More than five decades later, Ozzy returns to the city that shaped him for his ultimate goodbye — and fans are bracing for a night of power, passion, and tears.
The concert will take place at Villa Park, home of Aston Villa Football Club and a venue that holds personal significance for Ozzy, a lifelong supporter of the team. The setting is expected to host a massive crowd of over 40,000 people, while millions more are anticipated to tune in through a specially produced livestream event available globally. With cutting-edge visual production and world-class sound, the livestream will capture every scream, riff, and emotional moment of this historic farewell.
“Birmingham gave me my start, my soul, and my sound,” Ozzy said in a heartfelt statement. “It’s only right that I say goodbye here, with the people and the city that made me who I am. This isn’t just a show — it’s my thank you to the world.”
The performance will span the entirety of Ozzy’s groundbreaking career. Fans can expect to hear classics from the Black Sabbath era — like “Iron Man,” “War Pigs,” and “Paranoid” — as well as solo hits such as “Crazy Train,” “Mr. Crowley,” and “No More Tears.” Rumors of guest appearances from longtime collaborators like Tony Iommi, Zakk Wylde, and Geezer Butler are already swirling, hinting at the possibility of unforgettable on-stage reunions.
Ozzy’s decision to take the stage one final time comes after years of health struggles, including a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease, several spinal surgeries, and a series of tour cancellations. Despite these challenges, he has remained committed to giving fans closure — and a fitting end to a legendary career.
In coordination with the concert, the city of Birmingham is planning a weekend-long celebration of Ozzy’s legacy. Street art, fan meetups, tribute shows, and a temporary museum exhibit chronicling his life and music will be part of the festivities. For one weekend, the city that birthed metal will become its capital once more.
The livestream will be available on major platforms, including YouTube, Amazon Prime, and a dedicated pay-per-view channel. Fans who purchase tickets to the livestream will gain access to bonus content, including behind-the-scenes footage, interviews, and a digital memorabilia package. A portion of proceeds will go to organizations supporting Parkinson’s research and mental health services — causes close to Ozzy’s heart.
With “Back to the Beginning,” Ozzy Osbourne offers not just a farewell performance but a celebration of everything he’s stood for: defiance, creativity, resilience, and the unrelenting power of rock ‘n’ roll. From factory floors to festival stages, his journey has inspired millions. Now, as the final curtain prepares to fall, one thing is certain — the echoes of this night will ring out long after the amps go silent.
This isn’t just the end. It’s a legend coming home.
