Sharon Osbourne says ‘we’re done’ after tonight

Sharon Osbourne — who is married to Ozzy, has managed his solo career since it started in 1979, and has also handled Sabbath — says “there’s no way on God’s Earth” there will be more shows.

“We’re done,” she told Billboard. “I’ve been doing this since I was 15, and I’m done. We just want to live our life and do what we want to do and not have to follow an itinerary anymore.”

Ozzy’s statement on Back to the Beginning

Back when the gig was first announced, Ozzy explained what this show means to him:

“It’s my time to go Back to the Beginning….time for me to give back to the place where I was born,” Osbourne said in a statement. “How blessed am I to do it with the help of people whom I love. Birmingham is the true home of metal. Birmingham Forever.”

Fans are upset over the Marilyn Manson appearance

“F*** Marilyn Manson, he’s a piece of s***,” one angry fan writes on X/Twitter after seeing Manson’s Ozzy tribute.

“Disgraceful that he is on this otherwise outstanding Black Sabbath show.”

“Marilyn Manson on the Black Sabbath stream f*** off,” another fan writes.

In a clip on social media of the statement in question, Manson describes Ozzy as a “friend” whom he grew up to share a stage with, along with Black Sabbath.

“I’d like to say congratulations and I love you very much Ozzy,” he said.
