Ozzy and the rest of the Osbourne family will make a public appearance at Comic Con days after his final show in July.
They will appear at Comic Con Midlands, in Birmingham, from 12-13 July, just days after Black Sabbath’s farewell show ‘Back To The Beginning’, which takes place on 5 July at Villa Park Stadium. He cites health issues as his reason for retirement, and has undertaken training in preparation for the show, telling his radio show Ozzy Speaks that he’s “giving 120 percent”.
What Ozzy, his wife and manager Sharon, and their children Jack and Kelly Osbourne will actually be doing at Comic Con remains a mystery, and tickets to see them have not yet gone live on the Comic Con Midlands website. So far, all fans have to go by is a statement from Comic Con Midlands, which reads: “With Ozzy Osbourne’s legendary music career, Sharon’s powerhouse presence in entertainment, and Kelly and Jack’s unforgettable personalities, The Osbournes have cemented their place in pop culture history.”
Amongst the excitement, many are doubtful over how affordable it will be to see the family. One comment on Instagram reads: “Surely to meet them it’s like £1000.”
Another jokes: “Will there be a deposit scheme for The Osbournes?”
A reply to that comment reads: “Try a mortgage.”
These responses come after Comic Con Midlands issued an update, informing anxious fans: “Just a reminder there will be a post in advance when The Osbournes tickets will go on sale, we have not forgotten and will update you all as soon as possible.”
The family has quite a reputation for expensive fees. In the 2024 series of Celebrity Big Brother, Sharon Osbourne’s fee was reportedly too high for ITV bosses to accommodate, so her stay in the house was shortened to nine days. However, fans are still eager to see the Osbournes, especially so close after Ozzy’s final show, despite what the price may amount to. One comment on Instagram reads: “I would sell my kidney to meet Ozzy.”
While it’s still unclear what the Osbournes’ appearance will specifically entail, the family will still be available to take pictures and sign autographs, as a description of the event reads: “We’re all a fan of something, and Comic Con Midlands is the best place to celebrate all things pop culture. As well as having the chance to meet your heroes, get an item signed or a photo, many guests will also appear live onstage so you’ll get to hear directly about their new projects and previous roles.”
