Ozzy Osbourne Remembered Final Concert in Last Instagram Post Before Death originally appeared on Parade.
Just one day before Ozzy Osbourne died at the age of 76, the late musician shared his final Instagram post remembering Black Sabbath’s final concert called “Back to the Beginning.”
Osbourne took to Instagram on Monday, July 21, to share a photo taken to promote the show. The black and white photo featured the members of Black Sabbath and had Osbourne’s name listed at the top. Below band members Geezer Butler, Tony Iommi and Bill Ward‘s names read, “The Final Show.”
The photograph appeared to be hung up on a mirror.
The “Paranoid” musician did not share a caption with the post, those several fans took to the comments section to express their condolences. “Words cannot describe how much of a legacy you’ve left behind. Rest in paradise king,” one person wrote, and another added, “Rip. What a great way to say goodbye. Couldn’t have asked for a better closing of a chapter …”

“Back to the Beginning” was held at Villa Park in Birmingham, England, on July 5. In addition to marking Osbourne’s final concert, the event was also the first time he and the original band members performed together since 2005.
The show was held just two weeks before Osbourne’s death on Tuesday, July 22. His family confirmed his passing in a statement to the U.K. Press Association that same day.
“It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning,” the family said in the statement. “He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.”
