===2025: Final reunion === {{Main articles|Back to the Beginning}} In February 2025, Osbourne announced that the original line-up of Black Sabbath would reform for one final charity show at [[Villa Park]], Birmingham on 5 July. Titled [[Back to the Beginning]], it is set to be the final gig for both Osbourne and the group. It will be Black Sabbath's first concert in eight years and will also mark the first time in twenty years that the original line-up of the band has performed together. Proceeds from the show are going to support Cure Parkinsons, [[Birmingham Children's Hospital]] and [[Acorns Children's Hospice]]. [[Tom Morello]] was announced as the show's musical director. Osbourne said, "I'm not going to get up there and do a half-hearted Ozzy looking for sympathy. What's the fucking point in that? I'm not going up there in a fucking wheelchair."<ref name=rs_wheelchair/> In addition to a solo performance by Osbourne, the supporting acts for the show will be [[Metallica]], [[Guns N' Roses]], [[Tool (band)|Tool]], [[Slayer]], [[Pantera]], [[Gojira (band)|Gojira]], [[Alice in Chains]], [[Halestorm]], [[Lamb of God (band)|Lamb of God]], [[Anthrax (American band)|Anthrax]], [[Mastodon (band)|Mastodon]] and [[Rival Sons]], and it will include "additional performances from" Morello, [[Steven Tyler]], [[Billy Corgan]], [[Slash (musician)|Slash]], [[David Draiman]], [[Sammy Hagar]], [[Fred Durst]], former [[Judas Priest]] guitarist [[K.
