Sharon Osbourne abriu sobre o épico show “Back To The Beginning” e o novo filme, compartilhando como ela queria que a noite fosse uma celebração dos artistas que foram “considerados os bastardos da indústria musical há tanto tempo”.

The mammoth show took place at Villa Park in Birmingham last summer, and marked both Ozzy Osbourne’s final solo performance and the last ever show from Black Sabbath’s original line-up.

Foi a primeira vez que Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler e Bill Ward se apresentaram ao vivo juntos em mais de 20 anos, e foi organizado por Sharon com direção musical do ícone do Rage Against The Machine Tom Morello.

Performances came from the likes of Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Tool, Slayer, Pantera, Alice In Chains, Gojira, Anthrax, Lamb Of God,Mastodon, Rival Sons and Halestorm – who all covered songs from across Ozzy’s discography – and there were also guest appearances from Yungblud, Nuno Bettencourt, Ghost’s Tobias Forge, Smashing Pumpkins‘ Billy Corgan, Andrew Watt, Steven Tyler, Travis Barker, Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith and many more across the night.

Osbourne died aged 76 just 17 days later. The concert ultimately raised around £11million for charity and has now been made into a concert film, set to arrive in cinemas next Wednesday (October 28).

At the premiere screening in London last night (Tuesday October 20), Sharon looked back at the event and explained how, as well as being a celebration of Ozzy and his career, she wanted the night to celebrate metal music as a whole, especially as she has seen the genre become more “acceptable” compared to when Black Sabbath were first starting out.

She added: “It’s amazing, because it was never really big in the press for a long time. It was like ‘I don’t want to write about him, he’s a nutter’, but now it has become acceptable.

Também, no evento de perguntas e respostas na estreia, Sharon foi questionada pelo apresentador e jornalista Phil Alexander sobre como era Ozzy no dia do evento, especialmente porque ele havia sido avisado pelos médicos “apenas 10 dias antes” que não conseguiria se apresentar ao vivo no show devido à sua má saúde.

The star-studded night saw Ozzy perform solo tracks ‘I Don’t Know’, ‘Mr. Crowley’, ‘Suicide Solution’, ‘Mama, I’m Coming Home’, and ‘Crazy Train’, and join his Black Sabbath bandmates for ‘War Pigs’, ‘N.

I. B.’, ‘Iron Man’, and ‘Paranoid’. This setlist, Sharon shared, was chosen simply because it “was what he could do vocally on that day”.

According to Sharon, while the night was hosted by Aquaman star Jason Momoa, she didn’t tell the actor that he would be “essentially MCing the entire day” until the last minute, and instead thought it’d be more fun to surprise him with the request.

Ozzy & Black Sabbath: Back To The Beginning will arrive in cinemas worldwide for a limited run from October 28, and tickets are on sale now via the official website here.

Tony Iommi esteve presente na exibição em Soho na noite passada, e a estreia ocorreu após o guitarrista lembrar sua última conversa com Osbourne, que aconteceu na noite anterior à morte do cantor.

And the next thing, the next day, [he’s] gone.”.
