Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath farewell show raised an incredible sum

by

It’s hard to dispute that the Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath farewell show was an undeniable triumph. The event’s management was outstanding, and the majority of the bands, including two supergroups, delivered exceptional performances. However, the concert primarily focused on Ozzy and Sabbath.

The event served not only as an entertaining show, but also as a means to raise funds for three distinct charities: Cure Parkinson’s, Birmingham Children’s Hospital, and Acorn Children’s Hospice. Interestingly, the participating bands performed without receiving payment, understanding that this concert was more about giving back than personal gain.

Apart from the music being exceptional, another impressive aspect was that the concert reportedly garnered an astounding $190 million (approximately £140,449,520). As per Tom Morello’s Instagram post, specific details about how the funds will be allocated among charities have not been disclosed as of yet.

Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath farewell concert raises nearly $200 million for charities

Perhaps it’s not crucial in the end. We understand that each of them will receive a substantial donation, which turns out to be more beneficial than the concert itself. The amazing fact that numerous hard rock and heavy metal legends united for an entire day of creating fantastic music to aid those in need is truly wonderful.

5 million people tuned in to the live stream worldwide, and if each person had paid $30 for their virtual ticket, the total revenue would have reached an impressive $150 million. It’s reasonable to assume that a substantial portion of these earnings were donated to charity.

Not only did viewers enjoy an exceptional performance, but they also contributed to the betterment of others. This day was not just a triumph for heavy metal music, but it resonated positively across the human community.

Could leave someone pondering (maybe even other bands musing), which act might follow suit (as Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath did) by organizing a farewell performance, similar in grandeur to a significant event and charity drive.

Aerosmith might be a potential choice. During his performance with Supergroup B at their farewell concert, Steven Tyler was remarkably impressive, but he’s had some health problems, such as issues with his vocal cords. Interestingly enough, Ozzy Osbourne is the same age as Tyler, being only one year apart.
