Kelly Osbourne has addressed speculation about which band was reportedly dropped from Ozzy Osbourne’s farewell show plans. She responded to claims made in a report by Metal Addicts.
The response came after Sharon Osbourne had previously revealed that a band was removed from Black Sabbath’s farewell concert plans. This led to widespread speculation about the identity of the dropped act.
Metal Addicts published a headline asking “Was Megadeth the Band Sharon Osbourne Dropped from Ozzy’s Farewell Show?” Kelly Osbourne directly addressed the rumor.
“Nope! Not him!” Kelly Osbourne commented.
The brief but definitive response appears to dismiss claims that Megadeth was the band in question. The identity of the actual dropped act remains unclear.
This controversy stems from the highly anticipated farewell concert that has been generating significant attention in the metal community. The event represents a major milestone for both Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath fans worldwide.
Loudwire reported that the farewell concert titled “Back to the Beginning” is scheduled for July 5, 2025, at Villa Park in Birmingham. This historic event will feature a reunion of the original Black Sabbath lineup after two decades apart. It marks what could be Ozzy Osbourne’s final performance alongside Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward.
The concert lineup extends beyond Black Sabbath. Exclaim confirmed that notable bands such as Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, and Tool will also perform at the event. The show’s proceeds will support charitable causes including Cure Parkinsons, Birmingham Children’s Hospital, and Acorns Children’s Hospice.
Tom Morello is directing the concert. Exclaim noted that he has described it as “the greatest heavy metal show ever.” The ambitious nature of this farewell event explains why any changes to the lineup would generate such intense speculation and discussion among fans.
The significance of this reunion cannot be overstated. It brings together the founding members of one of heavy metal’s most influential bands for what may be their final performance together. This context makes Sharon Osbourne’s decision to remove a band from the lineup all the more intriguing to the metal community.
