Jack Osbourne shares tribute as father Ozzy Osbourne bids farewell with final concert in Birmingham

Jack Osbourne shared a tribute as Ozzy Osbourne performed his final concert with Black Sabbath in Birmingham.

Ozzy Osbourne’s final live concert became a moment of family reflection as Jack Osbourne paid tribute to his father following the performance. 

The 76-year-old musician delivered his last show at the Back to the Beginning festival in Birmingham on 5 July, performing to 42,000 fans while seated in a throne due to his Parkinson’s diagnosis.

“It’s so good to be on this f****** stage, you have no idea,” Ozzy told the crowd as he performed a five-song solo set, followed by a reunion with Black Sabbath bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward for four songs, including “Iron Man” and “Paranoid.”

Shortly after the concert, Jack Osbourne shared a personal tribute on Instagram by posting vintage footage of his father bringing him on stage as a child. “For everything I learned along the way…the final Good Night We Love You All,” Jack captioned the post, marking the significance of the moment for their family.

Jack’s tribute was part of a wider family reflection, with Sharon Osbourne and Kelly Osbourne also sharing photos and videos from the event. 

The concert, held in Ozzy’s hometown, was announced earlier this year as a final opportunity for the musician to perform live and give back to Birmingham, with proceeds supporting Birmingham Children’s Hospital and Acorn Children’s Hospice.

Ozzy, who started with Black Sabbath in the late 1960s before a solo career that has sold over 100 million albums, retired from touring in 2023 due to health concerns.
