Final Performance and Tributes
Osbourne’s farewell concert, Back to the Beginning, reunited Black Sabbath’s original lineup. Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, and others joined the event, raising $190 million for charity.
Fans worldwide paid tribute, with Elton John calling him a “dear friend and trailblazer”. Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi shared:
“We’ve lost our brother. There won’t ever be another like him.”
A public procession in Birmingham honored his life, while a private funeral featured a floral tribute spelling “OZZY F—ING OSBOURNE”.
His Legacy and Last Wishes
Osbourne’s influence extended beyond music. The Osbournes reality show made him a pop culture icon. He was inducted twice into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame—with Black Sabbath in 2006 and as a solo artist in 2024.
In a 2011 Times column, he joked about his funeral:
“They can play Justin Bieber if it makes ’em happy. I want pranks—knocking from inside the coffin!”
True to his spirit, his family ensured the memorial celebrated his life rather than mourning his death.
