During a recent appearance on “Painful Lessons: Punk Rock Sober“, Jack Osbourne revealed that his late father Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath raised less than $10 million for charity during their farewell show in Birmingham, UK. This news comes after his mother Sharon previously said the reports of $190 million raised were inaccurate and that the real number was about $11 million.

Jack said the following:

“The number was complete bullshit. This is how you know the news is probably 90% bullshit, ’cause it was, like, CNN and New York Times was saying ‘Ozzy raised $150 million.’ And it wasn’t that. I think what it came down to was, like, when all was said and done, because it was a charity gig, you still have to pay for the actual gig. No bands got paid, and most of the crew donated their time. But I think when all said [was] and done, each charity got, like, one and a half or two million pounds [approximately $2.7 million] each. So, it was, I think, six or seven million pounds [approximately $9.4 million]. That’s what was donated to the three charities. I mean, we would’ve loved it if it was hundreds of millions. We would have been, like, ‘Fuck yeah.’”
