Rock and roll officially hit clown mode: legendary band Black Sabbath won’t perform at Ozzy Osbourne’s final concert, “Back to the Beginning” — and no, it’s not a typo or a fever dream from your dad’s 1983 acid trip. They got axed by Sharon Osbourne herself, wife, manager, power broker, momager of metal, and alleged shapeshifter.
Speaking to Metal Hammer magazine, Sharon opened the pit of drama:
“I had a huge, huge fight with their manager. And you know what? I just don’t like Black Sabbath. I care about people who love me and what they say about me. So it’s just gonna be Ozzy solo.”

And just like that, every aging fan with a gut, leather vest, and “Paranoid” tattoo on their lower back collectively screamed into a can of Monster Energy. Sharon, the high priestess of chaos, canceled Sabbath like she was running a reality show called America’s Next Top Band — only Metallica survived the bloodbath.
🤘 Back to the Beginning: Without the Actual Beginning?
To refresh your memory: Back to the Beginning, taking place July 5, 2025 at Villa Park in Aston, Birmingham, is meant to be Ozzy Osbourne’s final performance ever. On the lineup? Metallica. Smashing Pumpkins. Limp Bizkit. Duff McKagan and Slash. Basically, everyone Ozzy ever sweat on — except the band that made him famous.
Yes, Black Sabbath — the godfathers of metal, inventors of doom, fathers of all that is loud and riffy — are out, but Fred Durst gets to scream “I did it all for the nookie” to a crowd of 50-year-old nu-metal survivors.
The entire show feels like a toxic reunion where everyone was invited except the first wife, and they’re calling it “Back to the Beginning”? More like “Back to the Passive-Aggressive Middle.”
😡 Sharon Says: “I Don’t Like Black Sabbath” — And Now She’s the Frontwoman of Drama
Sharon’s confession went viral faster than a Motley Crüe STD. Meme pages exploded. Reddit launched r/SharonSabbathCancel, where users are posting conspiracy theories like:
“Sharon is a time-traveling Nickelback agent sent to erase heavy metal from within.”
Others call her the Kris Jenner of thrash — only instead of lip gloss, she controls the fate of every washed-up metal god with a bad spine and a vape pen.
Meanwhile, Ozzy mumbled something about “hoping for the best” in an interview — but no one could tell if he was speaking English, chewing on a bat, or just rebooting like an old laptop.

Fans are melting down across social media:
– ⚡️ “This is like banning Elvis from Graceland” — @SlayerFan_88 tweeted from his man cave.
– 🧠 “Sharon Osbourne is a Karen in corpse paint” — declared a TikTok goth influencer with a neck tattoo of Dave Mustaine.
– 💀 “This smells worse than Ozzy’s dressing room in ‘87” — claimed a retired roadie no one asked.
Black Sabbath has made no official statement, but rumor has it Tony Iommi already ordered a T-shirt that says:
“I am the beginning — you’re just the bitter ending.”
