Ozzy Osbourne’s farewell concert, Back to the Beginning, just made history—becoming the highest-grossing charity concert ever. The July 5 show at Villa Park in Birmingham raised an astonishing $190–$200 million for Cure Parkinson’s, Birmingham Children’s Hospital, and Acorns Children’s Hospice, surpassing previous benchmarks like Live Aid in real figures.

The epic 10‑hour event reunited Ozzy with his original Black Sabbath bandmates—Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward—for the first time since 2005. Rock titans like Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Slayer, Pantera, and more joined in, with Jason Momoa hosting and Tom Morello directing the all‑star lineup.

With 45,000 fans in attendance and 5.8 million tuning in via livestream, the concert became a global sensation. Ozzy, seated on a winged throne due to his health, delivered a powerful farewell before passing away just over two weeks later.

This wasn’t just a rock spectacle—it was a massive act of giving. By merging legacy, emotion, and generosity, Ozzy reinforced how music can inspire—and literally save lives. That’s what’s right with the world.
