New MOJO Collectors Series Edition: OZZY And BLACK SABBATH CHANGES 1948-2025

Posted on by JL

22 December 2025

When OZZY OSBOURNE passed away last July, rock lost one of its greatest icons – a fact underlined by the raft of metal legends that jostled to appear on the bill with Ozzy and Black Sabbath at their farewell ‘Back To The Beginning’ concert at Villa Park, Birmingham, just two weeks before Osbourne’s death. That the singer was able to say a final ‘thank you’ to his army of fans provided an emotional end to an extraordinary journey that started way back in the late ’60s, when Sabbath formed in the back streets of Birmingham.

In this sumptuous special edition, MOJO’s writers unfold Ozzy and Sabbath’s turbulent stories and celebrate their incredible music, which all but invented heavy metal. Sabbath’s early years are put under the microscope, follow their swift rise to international stardom, and reveal how Sabbath survived Ozzy’s dramatic sacking in 1979.

Far from ending his musical adventures, Ozzy’s departure from the band kickstarted
a hugely successful solo career up to his miraculous reunion with Sabbath in 2013.

With dozens of rare and iconic images, and an appreciation of every Sabbath studio LP, Changes 1948-2025 is an essential purchase for all serious music connoisseurs and the perfect festive gift for every Ozzy fan.
