Following its history-making sold-out performance and global livestream, Back To The Beginning: Ozzy’s Final Bow will make its theatrical debut in early 2026.
The feature-length concert film, currently in production from Mercury Studios, will be a celebration of one of rock’s most enduring legacies, the film will aim to capture the raw power and emotional weight of Ozzy‘s final bow in his hometown of Birmingham, United Kingdom. Presented as a 100-minute cinematic experience spotlighting the music of Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath.
Presented as a love letter to Ozzy and the pioneering sound of Black Sabbath, 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.
Hosted by Jason Momoa and packed with surprise appearances, the original live event was widely praised as “the most iconic night in metal history.” Performances from Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne, Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Ronnie Wood, Steven Tyler (Aerosmith),Slayer, Pantera, Tool, Yungblud, Papa V (Ghost) and a star-studded drum-off between Tool drummer Danny Carey, Blink-182‘s Travis Barker and Red Hot Chili Peppers‘ Chad Smith, made for an unforgettable send-off.
Yungblud has today announced the release of Changes as a standalone single, featuring live footage from his performance at Villa Park during Back To The Beginning: Ozzy’s Final Bow. A standout moment of the day, the track captures the emotional thread of the concert and reflects the cross-generational reach of Ozzy‘s legacy.
Changes – (Live From Villa Park) Back To The Beginning (Feat. Nuno Bettencourt, II, Frank Bello, Adam Wakeman) is a breathtaking rendition of the 1972 track by the supergroup, featuring a powerhouse lead vocal by the 27-year-old British artist, whose recent album Idols went to No. 1 in the U.K. chart, becoming his third consecutive album to do so. Delivered in front of over 40,000 fans at Black Sabbath‘s home stadium, the performance served as part of a moving send-off for a group widely regarded as a seminal force in rock.
Yungblud dropped the track as a single today, announcing that all proceeds will be donated to Cure Parkinson’s, Birmingham Children’s Hospital and Acorns Children’s Hospice.
Speaking about the single, Yungblud said, “This was hands down the biggest moment of my entire life. I got to stand on stage and honor one of my heroes, and the fact that it has touched so many is truly overwhelming.”
He added, “The best part about this release is that we can take such a monumental moment, immortalize it on tape, release it and donate all the money to such important causes in Cure Parkinson’s, Birmingham Children’s Hospital, and Acorns Children’s Hospice. This is what rock and roll is about. Stream it, buy it, add it to your playlist — let’s raise some f-king money.”
Last week, Yungblud shared a video online which captured a tender moment between him and Ozzy ahead of the concert. In the video, the young artist is seen gifting Osbourne a custom piece of jewelry. Yungblud is heard saying, “Thank you for everything.”
Yungblud‘s performance on the single received the seal of approval from Osbourne, who said, “He did an amazing job. I couldn’t have done it better myself.”
A physical product release of Back To The Beginning will follow later in 2026 from Mercury Studios.
Fans around the world who joined the livestream or were there in person, and those who missed it, will now have the chance to experience this landmark event on the big screen.
More details on the theatrical rollout will be announced in the coming months.
