On July 5, music history will be made as Ozzy Osbourne, the Prince of Darkness, will take to the stage for his final ever live performance, joined by the original Black Sabbath lineup for the first and last time in two decades, in the biggest metal event of all time.
Forbes Senior Contributor, Hugh McIntyre, is reporting that ahead of “Back To The Beginning”, Black Sabbath and Ozzy are enjoying a resurgence on the UK charts.
Osbourne’s solo set, Scream, returns to the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart. The release reenters the genre-specific tally at #32. Throughout the years, it has only spent 12 frames on the list, but it previously climbed all the way to #1.
Black Sabbath fills spaces on both the Official Rock & Metal Albums and Official Rock & Metal Singles charts. Paranoid, the full-length, jumps nearly 10 spots on the albums ranking, landing at #23. Meanwhile, the title track and breakout single pushes to #17 on the singles roster.
This frame is particularly special for “Paranoid” as the cut has now spent 104 weeks — exactly two years — on the Official Rock & Metal Singles chart. The full-length has held onto its respective tally for significantly longer, as it has already racked up 231 stays somewhere on the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart.

With the “Back To The Beginning” show fast approaching, Black Sabbath took to social media yesterday to share a photo of Ozzy, Bill Ward and Geezer Butler. The photo is simple captioned, “Rehearsals are underway for Back To The Beginning: Ozzy’s Final Bow.”
A video trailer recently arrived for “Back To The Beginning: Ozzy’s Final Bow”, the highly anticipated global livestream of the sold-out show you can’t miss. Watch below.
Following an outpouring of fan demand from across the globe – and even a petition begging for a way to watch this once-in-a-lifetime event – prayers have now been answered with tickets for the livestream available here.
Broadcast live from Birmingham’s Villa Park, those who missed out on being there can still experience this unforgettable moment, with access to the raw livestream from 3 PM on July 5, and the chance to rewatch the concert in its entirety for another 48 hours.
“Back To The Beginning: Ozzy’s Final Bow” will be captured, produced and distributed by Mercury Studios (One to One: John & Yoko, American Symphony, Metallica Saved My Life), who are pioneering the way for premium, music-driven storytelling across film, television, podcasts and immersive formats. Mercury Studios has partnered with Kiswe – the global D2C streaming partner behind the record-breaking BTS concert livestream- to deliver this unforgettable moment of music history to fans across the globe.
The all-day event at Villa Park, produced by Live Nation, will be hosted and compered by American actor Jason Momoa, and feature a supergroup of musicians.
