Ozzy Osbourne’s final performance is heading to movie theaters, giving fans the chance to revisit the concert more than a year after his death.

Ozzy & Black Sabbath: Back to the Beginning will premiere in theaters on Oct. 25. Directed by Ben Wainwright-Pearce, whose credits include Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour and George Michael: The Faith Tour, the concert film documents the July 5, 2025 event that became Osbourne’s last performance.

For Sharon Osbourne, watching the completed film brought pride and gratitude alongside the pain of revisiting her late husband’s final show.

“It was very hard to watch a lot of this film. I had to, but it was very, very hard,” she told Rolling Stone. “It’s bittersweet. It’s amazing. Everything about the show was amazing and just a joyous occasion and one that will go down in music history.”

Sharon added that she was proud the show was staged for Ozzy and thanked everyone who contributed their time and effort to the event.

Ozzy went against his doctors’ advice

The film carries additional emotional weight because of the serious health concerns surrounding the concert. According to Sharon, Ozzy spent a week in an English hospital before the July 5 performance. His doctors advised the family not to proceed with the show.

“They said it would kill him,” Sharon said. Despite that warning, Ozzy remained determined to perform.

Sharon recalled him telling his family: “It’s not an option. It’s what I want.” She said Ozzy acknowledged that he was dying and was prepared to give up additional months of his life if it meant going ahead with the concert.

“If I miss a few months of my life, I want to go this way,” he told them, according to Sharon. “This is what I want.”

The family ultimately honored his wishes. Ozzy died at age 76 on July 22, 2025, after suffering a heart attack. He had been living with coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease.

Sharon imagines Ozzy’s reaction

Asked what her husband would have thought of the finished concert film, Sharon pictured a response rooted in gratitude rather than self-importance.

“He would say, ‘How lucky am I?’” she said. “He goes, ‘I’m one lucky son of a bitch.’ And he knew it. He never took anything for granted, ever.”

That imagined reaction reflects the way Sharon described the concert itself: a joyous gathering whose significance has only deepened because it became Ozzy’s farewell performance.

ShowBiz Take

Back to the Beginning is more than a record of a major concert. The circumstances Sharon has now shared place Ozzy’s decision to perform at the center of the film’s emotional impact.

He had been hospitalized, doctors had issued a stark warning, and his family understood the possible consequences. Yet Ozzy’s insistence that the concert represented how he wanted to spend his remaining time turned the show into a final act made on his own terms.

For audiences, the theatrical release offers a chance to see the performance Sharon found both painful and extraordinary to revisit. For his family, it preserves the event Ozzy was determined not to miss, even as his health declined.

What Happens Next?
