Birmingham, July 5, 2025 — Under the lights of Villa Park, in the birthplace of heavy metal, legendary rocker Ozzy Osbourne gave his final live performance in front of a packed crowd of 40,000 fans. The concert, called “Back to the Beginning,” marked the end of an era — and the closing of a chapter in music history.
Although Ozzy performed seated due to his ongoing battle with Parkinson’s disease, his energy, voice, and presence remained unforgettable. He performed classic hits like “Iron Man,”“War Pigs,” and “Paranoid,” reminding fans why he became known as the Prince of Darkness.
The evening featured appearances by major rock names — Metallica, Korn, Tom Morello, Steven Tyler, and more — each paying tribute to Ozzy’s legacy. But one of the most emotional moments came from outside the stage.
Dolly Parton’s Unexpected and Heartfelt Video Tribute. In a surprise pre-recorded video, country music legend Dolly Parton shared a personal and emotional message for Ozzy:
“Well, Ozzy Osbourne, it’s Dolly Parton here. Are we really saying farewell? I don’t think so. Let’s just say good luck, God bless, and we’ll see you down the road. I love you — always have — and we’ll miss you.”
Though they never performed together that night, Dolly’s tribute brought together two seemingly distant musical worlds — rock and country — in a way that resonated deeply with the audience.
As her message ended, video screens lit up with a montage of Ozzy’s life in music — from his early Black Sabbath days to his solo success — creating a powerful sense of reflection and farewell.
A Legacy Bigger Than the Stage. The concert was more than music — it was a major humanitarian effort, raising over $190 million for causes close to Ozzy’s heart, including Cure Parkinson’s, Birmingham Children’s Hospital, and Acorns Hospice.
That night, Ozzy didn’t just say goodbye — he honored a legacy, celebrated a life of resilience, and reminded the world what true musical impact looks like.
He didn’t fade away. He left with fire, gratitude, and one final roar — back where it all began.
