Jack Black Recreates Ozzy Osbourne’s ‘Mr. Crowley’ Video for Black Sabbath’s Final Concert

Jack Black honors Ozzy Osbourne with a stunning ‘Mr. Crowley’ video tribute during Black Sabbath’s last ever show in Birmingham.

A Legendary Farewell to Black Sabbath

Black Sabbath’s final concert, named ‘Back To The Beginning’, took place on Saturday, July 5, 2025, at the iconic Villa Park stadium in Birmingham—the band’s hometown. This heartfelt farewell was made even more special by the return of drummer Bill Ward, playing alongside the band for the first time since 2005.

Jack Black’s Touching Tribute

One of the highlights of the event was the special video tribute from Jack Black, the renowned actor and musician best known as half of the comedy rock duo Tenacious D. Jack didn’t just make a simple homage—he recreated Ozzy Osbourne’s iconic solo single video, ‘Mr. Crowley’, with incredible attention to detail. Wearing a blue sweater emblazoned with “OZZY” and sporting the signature flared sleeves from the original, Jack Black brought the aura of Ozzy’s legendary performance to life.

Sharing the screen with Black were young musicians Roman Morello (son of Rage Against The Machine’s Tom Morello), Revel Ian (son of Anthrax’s Scott Ian), Yoyoka Soma, and Hugo Weiss, making this tribute a multi-generational celebration of rock.

The Final Set at ‘Back To The Beginning’

At the farewell concert, Black Sabbath performed a powerful, concise setlist from their first two albums. The show included rock anthems such as ‘Iron Man’ and ‘N.I.B.’. The crowd was electric, showering the stage with devil horns and chanting lyrics passionately.

Before closing with the timeless classic ‘Paranoid’, Ozzy Osbourne addressed the audience warmly:

“It’s the last song ever. Your support has enabled us to live an amazing lifestyle, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”

Rock Royalty Unite

The event featured an incredible gathering of legendary rock talent. Members of The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Rage Against The Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Blink-182 came together on stage for a rousing cover of Led Zeppelin. Additionally, British musician Yungblud led a supergroup rendition of ‘Changes’, dedicating the performance to the late footballer Diogo Jota.

Jack Black’s Ongoing Musical Journey

Jack Black has stayed busy this year, starring in The Minecraft Movie and breaking records with his novelty song ‘Steve’s Lava Chicken’—the shortest track ever to make the US Billboard charts and a UK Top 40 hit at just 34 seconds long.

In April, he entertained audiences with a reggae parody of My Chemical Romance’s ‘Welcome To The Black Parade’ on Saturday Night Live, showcasing his fun and creative style.
