UNBELIEVABLE: Ozzy osbournes back to the beginning documentary set for christmas release - The Untold Story

Ozzy Osbourne's Back To The Beginning concert film is said to be coming this Christmas

Ozzy Osbourne's Back To The Beginning documentary will reportedly be released in time for Christmas.

The star-studded concert at Birmingham's Villa Park last July marked the late Black Sabbath legend's final concert. He passed away 1 7 days later.

The Dreamer singer's widow, Sharon Osbourne, is said to have delayed the release of the film, which originally planned for release earlier this year, as she was in the depths of grief.

However, she is now said to be aiming to have it out in time for the festive season as a gift to fans of the rock and metal icon.

A source told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: “It’s going to be a great Christmas gift for fans of Ozzy and Black Sabbath.

“The film is looking really good and features so many moving moments of Ozzy interacting with his friends and performers.

“It moves around from footage of the gig to artists backstage. It is very powerful because it captures Ozzy’s final moments in the limelight.”

Ozzy's legendary festival, OzzFest, is also set to return to Villa Park next year.

Sharon recently confirmed discussions with potential performers were underway but kept the details locked down.

She told Metal Hammer: “Of course we’re speaking to people.

“I can’t let that out yet, but it’ll be soon.”

Sharon previously hinted at future bookings, saying she wants to “see Rob Halford there,” suggesting Judas Priest could be on the wishlist.

She held early talks with Live Nation about the festival’s full‑scale revival and said a modern Ozzfest would embrace a broader, more eclectic lineup to reflect how fans consume music today.

She said on The Osbournes podcast: “I’d like to mix up the genres."

Ozzfest first launched in 1996 as a two‑day event before expanding into a full touring festival the following year. At its peak in the late ’90s and early 2000s, it became a crucial platform for rising metal acts and a major showcase for established names. Its most recent edition in 2018 featured Ozzy, Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson and Korn’s Jonathan Davis.
