Ozzy and Black Sabbath Reunite for Epic Farewell Film Premiere
In a move that is sure to send shivers down the spine of every metalhead, the Osbourne family has announced the official world premiere of "Ozzy & Black Sabbath: Back To The Beginning." Scheduled for Wednesday, October 14 at The Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles, the event will roll out the purple carpet in true rock fashion. For those who want to witness this monumental occasion, a limited number of tickets are available, with 50% of proceeds going directly to support Los Angeles homeless charities—a noble cause from the heavy metal royalty.
The concert film captures the raw energy and emotional weight of Ozzy Osbourne's final performance alongside the original Black Sabbath lineup, recorded live on July 5, 2025, at Birmingham’s Villa Park. This historic event, which took place just 17 days before Ozzy's tragic passing, marks the first time the iconic quartet—Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward—shared the stage in over two decades. Demand was astronomical, with over three million requests for just 44,000 tickets for a show that delivered a night of unforgettable performances.
The film isn't just about the music; it's a love letter to the legacy of Black Sabbath, showcasing an all-star lineup that included heavyweights like Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, and Slayer, among others. Special guest appearances from rock legends such as Billy Corgan and Chad Smith only add to the film's allure. Expect a sensory overload as the two-hour and thirty-minute runtime delivers not only blistering performances but personal reflections from the very artists who were inspired by the metal pioneers.
As the artists take the stage, they share their heartfelt sentiments about the significance of the event. James Hetfield of Metallica expressed gratitude, saying, "Thank you boys for giving us a purpose in life," while Yungblud described the experience as a surreal fever dream. Billy Corgan reflected on the historical weight of the day, emphasizing the need to savor every moment—a sentiment echoed by many who were lucky enough to witness the magic unfold.
