Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne’s legendary final hometown performance—an emotional, thunderous farewell that felt like a seismic exorcism of rock’s demons and saints—will soon find its second life on the silver screen.
Titled Back To The Beginning: Ozzy’s Final Bow, the upcoming 100-minute concert film is currently in production from Mercury Studios and slated for release in early 2026. The theatrical release will offer fans around the world a chance to witness the heavy metal pioneer’s swan song in cinematic detail, capturing the visceral chaos, the raw emotion, and the unapologetic volume of one of music’s most mythic farewells. Filmed at Birmingham’s Villa Park, the show brought Ozzy full circle—back to the cradle of heavy metal, to say goodbye on his own terms.
The original all-day blowout, hosted by none other than Jason Momoa, was billed as “the most iconic night in metal history”—a claim it backed up with a parade of gods and monsters. Ozzy and BLACK SABBATH thundered through immortals like “War Pigs,” “Iron Man,” and a gut-punching “Paranoid,” joined by a hall-of-fame cast including METALLICA, GUNS N’ ROSES, Ronnie Wood, Steven Tyler, SLAYER, PANTERA, TOOL, and Papa Emeritus IV of GHOST.
Among the most talked-about moments: Yungblud’s show-stealing take on “Changes,” the tender 1972 ballad Ozzy originally sang with his Black Sabbath bandmates. That haunting performance, now released as a standalone single, features Nuno Bettencourt, Adam Wakeman, Frank Bello, and II, and threads together generations of rock’s torchbearers. The track dropped today, with all proceeds going to Cure Parkinson’s, Birmingham Children’s Hospital, and Acorns Children’s Hospice.
