According to the UK’s Mirror, Sharon Osbourne looks set to celebrate her late husband Ozzy’s legacy with an annual gig in his name.
An application has been made to trademark ‘Back To The Beginning’, the event which marked Ozzy Osbourne’s final performance. The historic, all-day concert featured Ozzy with the original BLACK SABBATH lineup and a host of other prominent bands.
Now the firm set up by her late husband has applied to trademark the title of the gig in the US. It is registered under “entertainment services in the nature of live musical performance”. Legal documents filed by holding firm Monowise Ltd also seek legal protection for merchandise. A similar application will be made in the UK. The gig at Villa Park in Birmingham, 17 days before Ozzy’s death, raised millions for charity.
All of the proceeds are to be split equally between three charities, Acorns Children’s Hospice, Birmingham Children’s Hospital and Cure Parkinson’s. Ozzy, born John Michael Osbourne, died aged 76 in July. He had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2019. Ozzy was buried next to a lake at his Buckinghamshire home.
