During a new episode of “The Osbournes” podcast, Sharon Osbourne confirmed that her late husband Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath raised $11 million during their “Back To The Beginning” farewell show in Birmingham, UK. This news comes after she previously denied reports suggesting that the concert made $190 million for charity.
Sharon said the following:
“If one show could have raised… I mean, [the articles were saying] it was up to, like 190 million. It’s, like, any artist, just do one big show, film it and you can retire just on one show. No, it was nowhere near, and I wish that it was, but we are living in reality, in the real world.”
She also added:
“It raised 11 [million]. But with the cost, ’cause we paid the cost of bringing everybody in, everybody out, accommodation, everything. [And] no one got paid. Nobody asked for a penny. They gave their time, their efforts, everything for free. People were just — oh God — so generous.”
