On July 5, 2025, Ozzy Osbourne performed his final concert with Black Sabbath in Birmingham, England, at Villa Park. This event, called “Back to the Beginning,” wasn’t just a goodbye to fans—it was a record-breaking charity concert that raised $190 million for three causes: Birmingham Children’s Hospital, Acorn Children’s Hospice, and Cure Parkinson’s. The money will help sick kids and fund research for Parkinson’s disease, which Ozzy has battled since 2019. Part of the fundraising event was an auction of a custom Indian Sport Chief RT and a matching Gibson SG Standard guitar.
Krazy Horse, a London-based Indian Motorcycle dealer and renowned customizer, designed the Sport Chief RT with details reflecting Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath’s iconic imagery and heavy metal spirit. The Gibson SG Standard guitar was given a coordinating custom paint scheme. During the concert, rock stars including members of Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, and Slayer signed the motorcycle backstage, making it a unique collector’s item that celebrates the connection between music and motorcycle culture.
Vice President of Indian Motorcycle Aaron Jax noted the shared values of power and freedom in rock music and motorcycles, saying, “Black Sabbath’s influence on music is profound, and we’re proud to support this event and its charitable causes.”
Paul Beamish, founder of Krazy Horse, expressed gratitude for the opportunity to honor Black Sabbath’s legacy while contributing to important charities. The auction, featuring the signed Sport Chief RT and other items, offered fans the ability to own a piece of music history while supporting worthy causes. The collaboration highlighted how artistry and music can combine to make a meaningful impact for charity.
Ozzy, who performed seated due to his health, sang hits like “Crazy Train” and ended with Black Sabbath’s classic “Paranoid.” Fans cheered, waved torches, and even tossed inflatable bats, saluting Ozzy’s wild past. The charities will split the money equally, helping children receive better care and supporting research to find a cure for Parkinson’s. Birmingham Children’s Hospital called Ozzy a “friend” for his lifelong support.
Ozzy Osbourne died 17 days after the concert at the age of 76. In addition to being a singer and songwriter, Ozzy was also known as a motorsports enthusiast, riding motorcycles and ATVs.
