This documentary captures the essence of the Rocker’s personality, showing fans how Ozzi’s life transformed following his fall in 2019. That same year, he was forced to postpone a farewell solo tour due to pneumonia complications and later received a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease.

Osbourne himself remarked: “The last six years were the toughest I’ve faced. There were moments when I thought it was the end for me. However, creating music and releasing two albums kept me sane. Without music, I would have lost my mind.”

His wife, Sharon, added: “This film offers an honest account of what Ozzi has experienced over the years. It highlights the challenges he faced and the courage he demonstrated in battling serious health issues, including Parkinson’s. It reflects the reality of his current life. We collaborated closely with a production team we trust, enabling them to present the story authentically. We hope this narrative inspires those dealing with similar challenges.”

Filming commenced in 2022 during the recording sessions for the Solo -Sobel Sobel Number 9 and will continue this year in preparation for the Black Sabbath concert, “Back to the Beginning,” set for 2025 at Birmingham’s Villa Park.

Announced on February 5, the concert will mark the final performance for Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne, and it will be his first live appearance in seven years. Furthermore, it will feature the original lineup of Black Sabbath, including Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward, for the first time since 2005. However, Osbourne will not perform an entire set with the group—rather, he will join for “short segments.”

Many prominent names in rock and metal have been confirmed for the show, including Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Slayer, Pantera, Tool, and Alice in Chains. Proceeds from the concert will support Cure Parkinson’s, Birmingham Children’s Hospital, and the Acorns Children’s Hospice.

Sharon conveyed to NME that her husband feels “very emotional” about the concert, stating, “It’s what he wants.” She continued, “You can’t call it goodbye. The legacy they leave is monumental. As long as that exists, it will never be a farewell; it is everlasting.”

“He wants to express his gratitude to everyone. He never had the opportunity due to his illness, but now he finally has a chance.”

Meanwhile, guitarist Iommi thanked all the bands willing to participate, affirming, “This will be a monumental event for everyone. I certainly won’t be standing around all day, that’s for sure. It will be fantastic to have them all there for us.”

Tickets went on sale on February 14 and sold out within minutes. However, you can find tickets available for resale here. If you can’t wait until then, the 2013 Black Sabbath concert “Live… Gathered in Their Masses” is currently streaming on YouTube.
