BBC reports that a free exhibition celebrating Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath has opened in the city where “it all began”, the rockstar’s wife said.
Sharon Osbourne opened the Working Class Hero exhibition at Birmingham’s Museum and Art Gallery, which showcases items such as Osborne’s Grammys and platinum discs, on Wednesday.
She said: “It just wouldn’t be right if [it launched] in New York or Los Angeles [because] it all began here and this is where it belongs.”
On July 5, music history will be made as Ozzy 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.
“He’s overwhelmed…he can’t believe it,” Mrs Osbourne told BBC Radio WM, as she described her husband’s reaction to “the love” for him in the city ahead of the gig.
She added that he was feeling “emotional” about the farewell show, because he was “excited to be with the guys in Sabbath [again] and they’re all having a great time together, but it’s hard to say goodbye.”

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. Further artists announced so far include Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Tool, Slayer, Pantera, Gojira, Halestorm, Alice in Chains, Lamb of God, Anthrax & Rival Sons, Andrew Watt, Billy Corgan (The Smashing Pumpkins), Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Dave Ellefson, David Draiman (Disturbed), Fred Durst (Limp Bizkit), Lzzy Hale (Halestorm), Jake E Lee, KK Downing, Mike Bordin (Faith No More), Papa V Perpetua (Ghost), Rudy Sarzo, Sammy Hagar, Sleep Token ii (Sleep Token), Tom Morello, Vernon Reid (Living Colour), Whitfield Crane (Ugly Kid Joe).
