Ozzy’s Isolated Vocals at Farewell Concert Leave Fans in Tears
If you thought Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath’s Back to the Beginning concert wasn’t emotional enough, new audio of Ozzy’s isolated vocals from the event is sure to open the floodgates. Shared on Instagram by vocal coach Dimitris Barmpas, this raw track lets you hear every vulnerable note.
At the star-studded farewell, Ozzy delivered a five-song solo set—his first proper concert in almost seven years and, fittingly, his last. The most moving moment came when he performed the 1991 classic “Mama, I’m Coming Home.” Already one of his most powerful songs, it took on new meaning as the 76-year-old legend sang it to a sea of 40,000 devoted fans.
Fans were quick to react to the depth in Ozzy’s vocals during this final performance. It wasn’t technically perfect, but no one cared—given his health struggles, perfection wasn’t the point. Instead, every scar in his voice only added to the emotional punch. “Mama, I’m Coming Home” became more than a ballad; it was Ozzy’s entire life story condensed into one last moment on stage.
Fellow metal musicians and fans poured into the comments to share how much the performance moved them. Arch Enemy’s Alissa White-Gluz admitted, “I think everyone in the audience broke down at this point. I know I did. It was surreal.” Another listener summed up the night perfectly: “I saw a tired King give everything for the kingdom he built. Long live the Prince of Darkness.”
