The film follows preparations for the July 5, 2025 Back to the Beginning concert in Birmingham. In the documentary, Ozzy tells Sharon,
“After this gig, I’m looking forward to hanging up my microphone and spending some time with you. After this gig, we’re free.”
He adds,
“I didn’t think I was going to live past 40. I shouldn’t have lived past 40, but I did. If my life’s coming to an end, I really can’t complain. I’ve had a great life.”
The documentary shows his nervousness and emotions before the show. Ozzy says,
“I’m nervous. It’s my last hurrah, so it’s going to be pretty emotional for me up there. I just hope I don’t think of Sharon when I’m up there, ‘cause then the tears will start coming.”
He also reflects on his life and faith, stating,
“Death’s been knocking at my door for the last six years, louder and louder. And at some point I’m gonna have to let him in.”
He admits his biggest fear was losing Sharon first, saying,
“I’ve also said to Sharon, don’t you dare go before me. If she does, I won’t be too far behind. I live for the woman.”
In another scene, Ozzy remarks,
“If it wasn’t for Sharon, I wouldn’t be here now. I wouldn’t be sober. I’d be six foot under without a shadow of a doubt.”
The film captures these moments as he accepts the end of his touring life and expresses gratitude for his family. Excerpts from his memoir Last Rites discuss heart arrhythmia and a blocked valve. In the memoir he wrote,
“It’s always life-or-death.”
