This was the last concert of Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath.

On July 5th, Black Sabbath gave their final concert at Villa Park stadium in Birmingham, England, the city where it all began in 1968.

For the first time since 2005, the founding members Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward played together again. This reunion closed the chapter that began almost six decades ago.

The funds raised were allocated to Cure Parkinson’s, Birmingham Children’s Hospital, and Acorn Children’s Hospice.
