Ozzy Osbourne BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Ozzy Osbourne has dominated headlines this week as the Prince of Darkness gears up for what’s being billed as his last-ever show with the original Black Sabbath lineup on July 5 at Villa Park in Birmingham. This “Back To The Beginning” spectacular is a heavy metal pilgrimage, with Sabbath’s founders—Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward—reuniting onstage for the first time in two decades. Fans are calling it a perfect farewell, as social media exploded with tributes after the four legends appeared side by side in Birmingham, posing in front of a mural celebrating their legacy. The concert itself reads like a rock Valhalla, featuring sets from Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Alice in Chains, and a supergroup of icons from Guns N’ Roses, Tool, Rage Against the Machine, Smashing Pumpkins, and more. There’s even an official 68-page program with proceeds going to The Big Issue, and a new exclusive Ozzy Blizzard Of Ozz t-shirt released to commemorate the weekend.

Adding another twist to his polymath career, Ozzy just announced a cosmetics collaboration with Birmingham-based indie brand Jolie Beauty. The Ozzy Osbourne x Jolie Beauty collection, teased as “pure, unfiltered rock ‘n’ glam mayhem,” will be revealed July 9. Jolie Beauty’s CEO called the partnership a dream come true and highlighted Ozzy’s icon status in the goth and alternative scenes. This is not his first foray into beauty—his previous 21-piece set, including bat- and coffin-shaped palettes, sold out rapidly. Social media buzzed about Jolie’s Instagram reveal, flooding comments with bat emojis and excitement for the limited-edition drop.

Ozzy’s business engine is running at full throttle. His merchandising arm continues to push exclusive collectibles, while recent partnerships—like his viral promotion with Liquid Death’s “DNA water” cans—have driven fan engagement and sold out instantly. His net worth stands at a cool $220 million, making him the wealthiest Black Sabbath member by far, thanks in large part to his solo career, relentless branding, and the still-lucrative Sabbath back catalog.

On July 12, the Osbournes—Ozzy, Sharon, Jack, and Kelly—will make a rare joint appearance at Comic Con Midlands in Birmingham. The “Ultimate Sin VIP Package” sold at a devilish £666 promises autographs, professional photos, and the chance to meet the entire family—Ozzy’s solo autograph, for example, clocks in at nearly $300, while a signed guitar will set superfans back nearly a grand. Organizers expect demand to be massive, given this coincides with Ozzy’s hard-won return to his hometown and the close of his era with Black Sabbath.

Ozzy’s health remains a background concern, but all verified reports confirm he will perform “bits and pieces” with Black Sabbath at the event, rather than a full set, a fact shared by both Ozzy himself and corroborated by industry friends like Sammy Hagar. Meanwhile, his wife Sharon assured fans in interviews that the day will feature once-in-a-lifetime onstage collaborations and surprise appearances, all culminating in this final, emotional bow. No major unconfirmed health scares or dramatic rumors have surfaced—Ozzy seems focused on going out with a bang, supported by family, fans, and a city that shaped him.
