Jack Black Joins Tribute Cover At Final Black Sabbath Birmingham Concert

News summary

Jack Black paid tribute to Ozzy Osbourne by recreating the iconic 1981 performance of "Mr. Crowley" in a pre-recorded video played at Black Sabbath's final concert, "Back to the Beginning," held in Birmingham, England. The video featured a band of young musicians including Roman Morello, son of Tom Morello, and Revel Ian, son of Scott Ian, among others, with Black emulating Osbourne's vocals and outfit, and lifting Morello during the guitar solo as an homage to Randy Rhoads. The farewell event featured performances by Black Sabbath, Osbourne, and a lineup of heavy metal and rock legends such as Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Slayer, and Anthrax, with proceeds going to charities including Cure Parkinson’s and Birmingham Children’s Hospital. Black expressed how Osbourne’s music profoundly influenced him from a young age, and his tribute was part of a broader celebration of Osbourne’s impact amid his retirement due to Parkinson’s disease. The concert, curated by Morello and hosted by Jason Momoa, marked the end of live performances for Osbourne and honored the legacy of both Osbourne and Black Sabbath with multiple star appearances and special musical collaborations.
