The lights will rise again — not for chaos, but for love. Sharon Osbourne has officially announced The Sound of Farewell, a 2026 world tour dedicated to the life, legacy, and eternal spirit of her husband, Ozzy Osbourne. It will not simply be a concert series; it will be a pilgrimage — a global gathering of musicians, fans, and friends who refuse to let the music fade.
More than a year after Ozzy’s passing, his voice still echoes through stadiums, radios, and the hearts of those who grew up under his spell. Now, for the first time, the people who knew him best will take the stage to honor the man behind the myth. The Sound of Farewell will feature an extraordinary lineup: Tony Iommi, Zakk Wylde, Geezer Butler, Rob Halford, and a new generation of artists who proudly call Ozzy their teacher, their hero, their “brother.”
💬 “This isn’t goodbye,” Sharon said softly at the press announcement in London. “It’s a thank-you — for every night he gave the world.” Her voice wavered, but her resolve did not. For decades, she managed the whirlwind that was Ozzy’s life — the music, the tours, the mayhem, the miracles. Now she is curating his final encore, one that will celebrate not only his sound, but his soul.
Each night will begin in silence, with the opening hum of Mama, I’m Coming Home floating through the darkened arena. On giant screens, the audience will see Ozzy as he was — laughing backstage, commanding the stage, embracing Sharon, and flashing that unmistakable grin that made chaos feel like home. As the orchestra swells, a silhouette will appear — Ozzy’s outline, projected against a crimson sky, arms open in the pose that became his signature.
From there, the night will explode into a two-hour journey through the soundtrack of a lifetime: Paranoid, Crazy Train, Iron Man, Mr. Crowley, and the anthems that turned heavy metal into a religion. Tony Iommi’s guitar will wail like an old prayer reborn, Geezer’s bass will shake the earth, and Zakk Wylde’s solos will tear through the heavens — wild, blistering, and tender all at once.
But this won’t be a night of mourning. It will be resurrection through sound. Sharon’s vision is clear — The Sound of Farewell isn’t meant to close a chapter, but to prove that Ozzy’s story never truly ends.
Special guests are already confirmed. Rob Halford will bring his roaring voice to War Pigs, Dave Grohl will join for Changes, and Elton John — one of Ozzy’s dearest friends — will perform a piano-led version of Dreamer, transforming the metal anthem into a hymn. The final moment of the night will belong to the fans themselves, as tens of thousands of voices rise together in one last chorus of See You on the Other Side.
From Birmingham to Los Angeles, from Tokyo to São Paulo, The Sound of Farewell will travel the world like a comet — brilliant, brief, unforgettable. It will remind us that Ozzy was never just a performer. He was a force of nature. A man who lived on the edge of madness, but whose heart always beat in time with his audience.
When the final lights dim and the last chord fades, one truth will remain: legends like Ozzy Osbourne don’t die. They echo — through the songs, the souls, and the silence they leave behind.
