Sharon Osbourne Says Ozzy’s Final Concert Film Was “Very Hard To Watch,” Would Have Made Him Feel Like A “Lucky Son Of A Bitch”
Sharon Osbourne says watching the film of Ozzy Osbourne’s final concert was very difficult, but also a source of pride and gratitude. The film, *Ozzy & Black Sabbath: Back to the Beginning*, is due in cinemas on 25 October and records a performance she describes as a joyful occasion that will be remembered in music history.
Ozzy performed on 5 July 2025, despite doctors advising against the show after he had spent a week in hospital in England. Sharon said he knew he was dying and insisted that performing was what he wanted; he died aged 76 on 22 July, weeks later. She believes he would have felt fortunate to see the concert and the support it received, while his family is also developing a biopic about him.

Ozzy Osbourne was a British singer best known as the frontman of Black Sabbath, a band that helped shape heavy metal. He later became a solo artist and a familiar television personality; his wife, Sharon, managed his career and often worked alongside him.
In his later years, Ozzy faced serious health problems, including Parkinson’s disease. Black Sabbath’s music and his solo work influenced generations of musicians, so his final performance drew attention from fans well beyond the band’s original audience.
A concert film records the performance for people who were not there, while a biopic tells the story of a person’s life. Both projects give audiences different ways to revisit Ozzy’s career and understand its place in music history.
