ABBA-style hologram in conversation - Ozzy Osbourne's Final Bow: A Legendary Farewell and Digital Rebirth
Ozzy Osbourne's final concert, which took place on 7 July 2025 at Birmingham's Villa Park, marked the end of his 20-year solo career and a half-century in music. The legendary singer, who passed away just 17 days later, closed his career with a grand farewell show featuring metal icons and a historic Black Sabbath reunion. Now, plans to preserve his legacy are moving forward—including a hologram tour and a biopic in the works.
The 'Back to the Beginning' farewell show was a spectacle of rock history. Osbourne, seated on a throne due to health struggles, performed his last set alongside the original Black Sabbath lineup. Metallica, Guns N' Roses, and Steven Tyler of Aerosmith joined the lineup, while Yungblud delivered a live version of Changes—a performance that later won him a Grammy.
Before his death on 22 July 2025, discussions had already begun about immortalising the concert. Sharon Osbourne is now exploring options, from a concert film to a holographic show inspired by ABBA Voyage. The digital avatar would allow fans to experience Osbourne's presence on stage again.
Beyond the hologram, a biopic is also in development. Yungblud, 28, has emerged as the frontrunner to portray the rock legend, following his standout tribute at the farewell concert.
Osbourne's final performance marked the end of a 20-year solo career and a half-century in music. The concert film, hologram, and biopic will ensure his influence endures. Fans may yet see him return—digitally—to the stage he dominated for decades.
