The livestream will cost $29.99 with VOD replay access through July 7th. Fans can bundle the stream with a Back to the Beginning Exclusive Black Livestream T-Shirt featuring a photo of Black Sabbath, Henry, the event date, venue and Back to the Beginning printed on the front and Made In Birmingham printed on the back of the T-Shirt.

Osbourne, who has suffered from several ailments, including Parkinson’s, and has not performed a full show since 2018, confirms his involvement in Sabbath’s final bow will be limited.
“I’m not planning on doing a set with Black Sabbath but I am doing little bits and pieces with them. I am doing what I can, where I feel comfortable,” Osbourne says on his SiriusXM show, Ozzy Speaks. “I am trying to get back on my feet. When you get up in the morning, you just jump out of bed. I have to balance myself, but I’m not dead. I’m still actively doing things.”
Formed in Birmingham in 1968 and going on to become one of the most successful metal bands of all time, Black Sabbath has sold over 75 million albums worldwide across their legendary career. Setting the blueprint for the many routes heavy metal took, Black Sabbath’s influence and importance is as vital today as it was in the early 1970s.
Ozzy’s Final Bow & Black Sabbath’s last time on stage together, BACK TO THE BEGINNING will be streamed worldwide on 5th July! The full set will be available to watch on demand for 48 hours after the show.
