Explained simply
Black Sabbath are a heavy metal band formed in Birmingham in 1968, with Ozzy Osbourne as their original singer. Osbourne later left the group and became a successful solo artist, while the band continued with other singers; its original line-up reunited for occasional performances.
Villa Park is Birmingham’s football stadium, and the farewell concert there in July 2025 brought Osbourne and the original Black Sabbath line-up together. It was billed as Osbourne’s final performance, and he died 17 days later.
The event also featured other musicians, making it a major gathering around Osbourne’s and Black Sabbath’s place in rock history. The concert film and soundtrack let audiences revisit the performances, including the original line-up’s first show together in more than two decades.
