Earlier this month, Osbourne, 76, performed with Black Sabbath for his final concert — billed as Back to the Beginning — at Villa Park in Birmingham, England following a series of health-related issues he's faced since 2018.

On Friday, July 18, the Prince of Darkness announced the performance will be released in theaters as a concert film next year.

"We are excited to announce the theatrical release of Back To The Beginning: Ozzy’s Final Bow – coming early 2026," read a statement shared to his social media.

"The feature-length concert film will be a big-screen celebration of Ozzy Osbourne and the legacy of Black Sabbath, capturing the raw power and emotional weight of Ozzy’s final bow in his hometown of Birmingham," continued the post.

His statement further explained, "Presented as a love letter to Ozzy and the pioneering sound of @BlackSabbath, the theatrical release will be a distilled version of the epic all-day event held at Villa Park."

"Featuring thunderous performances of 'War Pigs,' 'Iron Man,' 'Children of the Grave,' and a show-stopping 'Paranoid,' the film promises a deeply personal and electrifying farewell from the godfather of heavy metal with exclusive behind-the-scenes access and interviews from this iconic live performance," concluded Osbourne's post.

The concert was hosted by Jason Momoa and included additional performances from Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Ronnie Wood, Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, Slayer, Pantera, Tool, Yungblud, Papa V/Ghost, Tool’s Danney Carey, Blink-182’s Travis Barker and the Red Hot Chili Pepper’s Chad Smith.

Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello, who served as the concert's music director, revealed afterward that the show raised $190 million for Cure Parkinson's, Birmingham Children’s Hospital and Acorn Children’s Hospice.

"We set out to not just create the greatest day in the history of heavy metal," Morello, 61, captioned his Instagram post recapping the show's highlights, which included the impressive proceeds. The guitarist also gave a shout-out to the Prince of Darkness himself, who performed from a throne during Black Sabbath's set.

"THANKYOU @ozzyosbourne for trusting me to be the Musical Director of the 'Back to the Beginning' show. It was over a year of hard work but heavy metal was the music that made me love music and it was a labor of love."

"We raised a ton of money for a great cause and so many great musicians & bands & fans all over the world paid tribute to the ALL TIME greats," added Morello.

Osbourne was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2003 and is unable to walk. He's suffered a series of health setbacks in recent years.

"It’s so good to be on this f---ing stage, you have no idea," the British rocker said at the start of the set, per Variety. "Let the madness begin!"
