As anticipation builds for Ozzy Osbourne’s final performance with Black Sabbath, Sharon Osbourne has made a startling claim: an unnamed band tried to profit off the emotional farewell—and she’s not holding back.
Speaking to Billboard, Sharon revealed that during the planning of the historic farewell concert, a specific band attempted to capitalize financially on the event inappropriately.
“And it’s not the time to make a profit,” Sharon stated. “After the show, I’ll let everybody know who it was. I think people will be shocked.”
Tensions Behind the Curtain
Sharon’s comments hint at backstage tensions leading up to Black Sabbath’s “Back To The Beginning” show in Birmingham, where Ozzy, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward will reunite one final time. The event has been celebrated as a tribute to legacy, not a cash grab — a sentiment Sharon clearly feels strongly about.
While she did not name the band involved, the promise of a post-show reveal has already set the rock community buzzing with speculation.
“It’s Not the Time”
The statement underscores Sharon’s commitment to ensuring the show stays true to its purpose as a farewell celebration, not a business deal.
With over 40,000 fans expected, the event marks not just a final bow for Ozzy, but a closing chapter in heavy metal history. Sharon’s sharp words add another layer of tension—and intrigue—surrounding what should be a night of pure tribute.
