MOJO’s bestselling Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath special in an updated deluxe edition.

When Ozzy Osbourne passed away on July 22, 2025, rock lost one of its greatest icons – a fact underlined by the raft of metal legends that jostled to appear on the bill with Ozzy and Black Sabbath at their farewell ‘Back To The Beginning’ concert at Villa Park, Birmingham, just two weeks before Osbourne’s death. That the singer was able to say a final ‘thank you’ to his army of fans provided an emotional end to an extraordinary journey that started way back in the late ’60s, when Sabbath formed in the back streets of Birmingham.

In this sumptuous special edition, MOJO’s writers unfold Ozzy and Sabbath’s turbulent stories and celebrate their incredible music, beginning with 1970’s pioneering ‘Black Sabbath’ and ‘Paranoid’ albums, which all but invented heavy metal. We put Sabbath’s early years under the microscope, follow their swift rise to international stardom, and reveal how Sabbath survived Ozzy’s dramatic sacking in 1979 to make several more classic albums – including 1980’s superlative ‘Heaven And Hell’ with Ronnie James Dio on vocals.

Far from ending his musical adventures, Ozzy’s departure from the band kickstarted a hugely successful solo career, which took off amid numerous madcap antics and the tragic death of guitarist and close friend Randy Rhoads. We follow the singer’s subsequent escapades through controversy and stadium-level success up to his miraculous reunion with Sabbath in 2013, while also taking the Ozzy/Sabbath story to its conclusion with exclusive interviews with the group in the weeks leading up to their final concert at Villa Park.

With dozens of rare and iconic images, and an appreciation of every Sabbath studio album, Changes 1948-2025 is an essential purchase for all serious music connoisseurs and the perfect festive gift for every Ozzy fan.
