Ozzy Osbourne Hints He Might Die on Stage at Farewell Concert

Heavy metal legend Ozzy Osbourne has made a dramatic statement ahead of his final live performance, saying he might “die on stage” during his farewell concert. The iconic frontman of Black Sabbath is set to reunite with the band’s original lineup for a historic show titled Back to the Beginning on July 5 in Birmingham, the city where it all started.

Despite ongoing health struggles, Osbourne remains determined to take the stage one last time. “If I die on that stage, I’ll die a happy man,” Osbourne said in a recent interview. The sold-out concert marks the end of an era for one of rock’s most influential voices.

The all-day event promises more than just a final bow from the Prince of Darkness. Back to the Beginning is shaping up to be a monumental celebration of heavy metal history. Alongside the Black Sabbath reunion, the lineup features performances from some of the genre’s biggest names, including Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Alice in Chains, and Gojira. Adding to the spectacle, Hollywood star and metal fan Jason Momoa will host the event.

While the in-person concert has long sold out, fans around the globe won’t be left out. A special pay-per-view livestream will begin at 3 PM BST on July 5, allowing viewers 48 hours to relive the magic. Digital tickets are available now at the official Back to the Beginning website.

This farewell performance carries significant emotional weight—not just for Osbourne and his bandmates, but for generations of fans who have followed his career since Black Sabbath’s groundbreaking debut in 1970. Over five decades, Osbourne has helped define the sound and spirit of heavy metal, both with the band and as a solo artist. His announcement that this will be his final concert only underscores the gravity of the moment.

Osbourne has battled several health issues in recent years, including Parkinson’s disease and a serious spinal injury. Though he’s expressed uncertainty about future touring, his commitment to this final show reflects both his enduring love for music and his connection to his fans.

For many, Back to the Beginning represents more than a farewell—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime celebration of a career that reshaped rock music. Whether in the crowd in Birmingham or watching from home, fans around the world will be tuning in to witness history—and, perhaps, the last roar of one of metal’s most enduring voices.
