JAKARTA - The wife of late heavy metal legend Ozzy Osbourne, Sharon Osbourne, is reportedly considering an offer to revive her husband's figure on stage.
After the musician's departure last year, an ambitious project in the form of a hologram concert with similar technology "ABBA Voyage" is now the main option for capturing Ozzy's last appearance at the "Back To The Beginning" concert.
The 10-hour charity concert is an epic celebration of Ozzy's career journey with Black Sabbath, which will be held in July 2025, just weeks before he breathed his last.
The event was enlivened by a number of big names such as Yungblud, Steven Tyler, to Metallica and Pantera personnel.
Although some of the footage has been shown in the Paramount+ series titled "Ozzy: No Escape From Now", Sharon is now exploring the possibility of bringing the experience to a more immersive level.
An insider revealed to the Bizarre column in the newspaper The Sun that
The plan to publish the hologram concert has been in place since the beginning. However, all processes were halted due to the atmosphere of grief.
Now, Sharon is said to be mentally ready to return to work and review various proposals that have come in.
"Talks are ongoing and the offers range from a simple concert film to an ABBA Voyage-style show," a source said, quoted by The Sun, Wednesday, February 18.
In addition to the hologram project and the biopic film that is rumored to star Yungblud, Sharon also gave a strong signal regarding the revival of the legendary metal festival, Ozzfest, in 2027.
Through Ozzfest's official Instagram account, this speculation was strengthened by a post asking fans about the festival's return.
Sharon confirmed that initial discussions with giant promoter Live Nation had been held to bring back the festival, which was last held independently in 2018.
In his interview with Billboard, Sharon emphasized that the spirit of Ozzfest is always about giving a stage for new talent - a vision that Ozzy always held firmly during his life.
"We really started a metal festival in this country. It has never been done with the spirit like ours, because ours is a place for new talent. It's like a summer camp for kids," said Sharon.
If this plan is realized, Ozzfest 2027 will not only be a tribute to Ozzy Osbourne's legacy, but also a wider international tour than ever before.
