On July 22, 2025, Ozzy Osbourne left this world to go Somewhere Else.
Seventeen days earlier, Black Sabbath with their original lineup played their last live show in front of over 40,000 fans – and another 5.5 million watching online – at Villa Park stadium in Birmingham. It was in the same gloomy industrial city where in 1968 Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, Ozzy Osbourne, and Bill Ward came together to form Black Sabbath and play the heaviest music ever heard – which was later called "heavy metal". And it was the first time in decades that the four of them were all back together on stage. They called this final performance "Back to the Beginning"…
On the occasion of closing one of the greatest chapters in rock music history, Classic Rock and Metal Hammer UK gather archival material, rare photos, and exclusive interviews with all the protagonists of Black Sabbath's outrageous journey and Ozzy's solo career: a complete edition of how it all happened and a unique tribute celebrating everything they achieved together.
Oxy publications, in collaboration with Monsterville, present a unique book with unpublished photos, rare moments and archival material, interviews and confessions that bring to life the story of Ozzy, the ultimate heavy metal legend!
