Loudwire Nights radio host Chuck Armstrong<\/a> caught up with some of the night’s marquee guests, including Sharon Osbourne<\/a> and the aforementioned classic rhythm section of Black Sabbath.<\/p>\n When asked about what Ozzy gave to the world beyond his music, Sharon acknowledged that “he was just one of those people.” She said,\u00a0“It’s weird because there were people that were lovers of his music and then there were people that just loved him as his whole persona.”<\/p>\n READ MORE:\u00a0Revisiting Back to the Beginning One Year Later, With Jack Osbourne (Interview)<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n When Butler and Ward\u00a0were asked about the first thing comes to mind about Back to the Beginning<\/a>, Butler\u00a0told Armstrong how much the homecoming meant. “It was great just getting back to Aston where we all started,” he said, “We never played in Aston apart from rehearsal in the old days.” One of Ward’s highlights was seeing so many old friends and all the memories of that “marvelous” day.<\/p>\n The two-and-a-half hour\u00a0Back to the Beginning<\/em> film showcases each guest band’s cover(s) from their respective sets and even retains the day-of-feel, swapping the video messages from Ozzy’s peers displayed at Villa Park with new ones, the audio of an artist’s voice laid of archival footage of our beloved Prince of Darkness.<\/p>\n We’re also treated to touching, heartfelt sentiments from the Osbournes, who have been quite publicly grieving the loss of their family’s patriarch\u00a0alongside fans since Ozzy’s passing 17 days after stepping offstage one last time.<\/p>\n One twist near the end, however, feels just right. Ozzy’s performance at Back to the Beginning preceded Black Sabbath’s mighty and final reunion moments later, but in order to deliver the most impactful finale, the viral, heart-wrenching performance of the\u00a0No More Tears\u00a0<\/em>ballad “Mama, I’m Coming Home” gets saved for last.<\/p>\n There’s some other highlights as well, but rather than spoil absolutely everything, it’s best you check it out for yourself (with some friends!) when the film hits theaters worldwide starting Oct. 28<\/a>.<\/p>\n Below, see exclusive photos taken from the purple carpet at last night’s film premiere!<\/p>\n The purple carpet was rolled out for all the special guests at the premiere of the ‘Ozzy & Black Sabbath: Back to the Beginning’ film at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gallery Credit: Alex Kluft Photography for Loudwire<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Below, watch clips of Loudwire’s interviews with special guests on the purple carpet at the premiere of\u00a0Ozzy & Black Sabbath: Back to the Beginning<\/em>.<\/p>\n Below, see photos of Ozzy with his family throughout the years.<\/em><\/p>\n To celebrate the life and legacy of Ozzy Osbourne, here are photos of the rocker’s family from the late ’70s through 2024.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gallery Credit: Lauryn Schaffner<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nWhat Fans Can Expect From the Film<\/h3>\n
