Ozzy Osbourne’s farewell concert on July 5 became the highest-grossing charity concert ever, raising around $190 million for Birmingham Children’s Hospital, Cure Parkinson’s, and Acorn Children’s Hospice. With Metallica and Guns N’ Roses performing for free, every dollar went to causes Ozzy cared about. Held at Birmingham’s Villa Park, just miles from where Black Sabbath began, the show drew 40,000 in person and 5.8 million online. Despite Parkinson’s, Ozzy took the stage from a custom throne and reunited with the original Sabbath lineup for the first time in 20 years. As the world remembers him today, this concert stands as a defining part of Ozzy’s legacy—a testament to his dedication to giving back and the lasting impact he made beyond music.
