On July 5, 2025, the massive and memorable "Back To The Beginning" concert took place in Birmingham as a farewell show for Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath. Now, the one-year anniversary of the legendary performance is just around the corner, and Ozzy's family, as well as his hometown, are commemorating it with a dignified gesture.
Due to health reasons, Ozzy Osbourne performed from a throne in the summer of 2025 to celebrate his final major performance in style. However, it was originally built for his induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2024. This throne is now set to be entrusted to the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery—where the Ozzy exhibition "Working Class Hero" has been open to visitors since last summer, just before the farewell concert—starting July 1, 2026. This new piece of Ozzy history will become part of that very exhibition.
Sharon Osbourne commented as follows:
“As we approach the one-year anniversary of Back to the Beginning, it feels fitting that Ozzy’s throne, which has now become synonymous with his final performance, would be placed in the museum, where it can be seen by the fans who loved him,”
Deborah Harries from the Birmingham City Council added:
“Ozzy Osbourne is one of Birmingham’s most foremost cultural figures, and it is only right that we continue to honour his extraordinary legacy here in the city where his journey began.
“The return of his iconic throne to Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery gives fans and visitors a powerful new way to connect with his story at what is an emotional moment, marking a year since his passing.
“This exhibition has already welcomed hundreds of thousands of visitors and demonstrates the global pull of Birmingham’s musical heritage. We’re proud to support this collaboration with Birmingham Museums Trust and partners, which not only celebrates Ozzy’s life but also brings people into the heart of our city.”
