The Original Line-Up Reunites for One Last Time

In addition to the legendary Sabbath members, the concert will feature a powerhouse lineup of guests including Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Gojira, and Billy Corgan from Smashing Pumpkins. Slash and Duff McKagan from Guns N’ Roses, Alice In Chains, members of Limp Bizkit and KoRn, and Rage Against The Machine’s Tom Morello—who will also serve as the concert’s musical director—will join the celebration.

An Exclusive Glimpse: What to Expect from the Finale

Sharon Osbourne, Ozzy’s wife and manager, shared insights about the final performance’s format.

Ozzy Osbourne Opens Up About His Farewell

In a heartfelt interview, Ozzy Osbourne addressed his health challenges and the reasons behind his decision to make this his last live show. He emphasized that the performance will be a sampling rather than full sets, saying:

“We’re only playing a couple of songs each. I don’t want people thinking, ‘We’re getting ripped off,’ because it’s just going to be a sample. You’re going to get a few songs each by Ozzy and Sabbath.”

Ozzy explained that after more than 50 years on the road, it’s time to slow down and cherish life with family — especially his grandchildren. He’s stepping away from the rockstar lifestyle and focusing on home life, sharing:

“I don’t smoke dope or do any of the rock star lifestyle any more. I’m kind of like a homebody. I never go out. I never hang out in bars – I don’t drink. So what the fuck is out there for me? It’s time for me to spend some time with my grandkids, I don’t want to die in a hotel room somewhere. I want to spend the rest of my life with my family.”
