1. The Poignant Farewell: Ozzy's Final Concert and Health Battle

The culmination of Ozzy Osbourne’s storied career arrived in July 2025 with a climactic final concert in his hometown of Birmingham, England. Billed as "Back to the Beginning," the show saw Ozzy reunite with Black Sabbath's original lineup to officially lay his 58-year performing career to rest. This event was particularly moving as it came after years of highly publicized health struggles, including his diagnosis with Parkinson's disease and a debilitating fall in 2019.

The concert, held at Villa Park, was a massive success, raising significant funds for three charities, including Cure Parkinson’s. Jack Osbourne later shared that the event felt like a "living wake," a powerful and emotional final moment for the family to witness the legend on stage one last time. Tragically, Ozzy passed away just weeks after the performance, making the Birmingham show his definitive, final bow.

2. A New Life for Jack: Celebrating Baby No. 5 Amidst Grief

In a powerful testament to the circle of life, Jack Osbourne announced in late 2025 that he and his wife, interior designer Aree Gearhart, are expecting their second child together, which will be Jack's fifth child overall. The news provided a much-needed ray of hope and a "healthy distraction" for the family following Ozzy’s death.

Jack revealed that he was able to share the joyous news of Aree's pregnancy with his father before his passing. This small but profound moment of connection in Ozzy’s final days highlighted the deep, personal bond between father and son. Aree Gearhart, who married Jack in 2023, is the mother of their daughter, Maple Artemis, and a stepmother to Jack's three older daughters from his previous marriage to Lisa Stelly. The expanding family signifies a new chapter for Jack, carrying on the Osbourne name into the next generation.

3. The Definitive Documentary: 'Ozzy: No Escape From Now'

The year 2025 also delivered an intimate look at the final years of Ozzy's life with the release of the feature-length documentary, Ozzy: No Escape From Now. Premiering exclusively on Paramount+ on October 7, 2025, the film was promoted as the "definitive" account of the Prince of Darkness’s final six years.

Directed by BAFTA-winner Tania Alexander, the documentary focuses heavily on the health setbacks Ozzy faced since his 2019 fall and his ongoing fight with Parkinson’s. The film features candid interviews not only with Sharon Osbourne but also with all three of their children: Jack, Kelly, and Aimee Osbourne. Jack’s contributions are particularly poignant, offering a son’s perspective on watching his legendary father transition from the stage to a private life defined by health challenges. Produced by Echo Velvet and MTV Entertainment Studios, the project is a crucial historical record of Ozzy’s enduring spirit.

4. The Enduring Legacy of 'World Detour' and Paranormal Pursuits

While their travel series, Ozzy & Jack's World Detour, concluded its run, the show remains a cornerstone of the father-son relationship, showcasing their unique dynamic outside the confines of the family home. The show took the pair on global adventures, blending history lessons with Ozzy's signature bewildered humor, giving fans a final look at their adventurous spirit.

Jack has since continued to carve out his own niche as a dedicated paranormal investigator. His work on Jack Osbourne's Night of Terror and the family special The Osbournes: Night of Terror has cemented his reputation in the supernatural world. These projects, which often feature his mother, Sharon Osbourne, and sister, Kelly Osbourne, demonstrate Jack's ability to maintain the family's presence on television while pursuing his own passions, a clear continuation of the reality TV legacy established by The Osbournes decades ago.

5. Topical Entities and LSI Shaping the Narrative

The narrative surrounding Jack and Ozzy in 2025 is rich with topical entities that anchor their story in the current cultural landscape. The focus on Parkinson's disease and the charitable efforts for Cure Parkinson's connects Ozzy's final act to a meaningful cause. The inclusion of Aree Gearhart and the news of Jack's fifth child highlights the personal and deeply human side of the Osbourne clan.

The release of the definitive documentary, Ozzy: No Escape From Now on Paramount+, ensures that Ozzy’s struggles and triumphs are preserved for a global audience. Entities like Black Sabbath, Villa Park, and Birmingham serve as vital geographical and musical markers for his final performance. The entire Osbourne family, including Sharon Osbourne, Kelly Osbourne, and Aimee Osbourne, remain central figures, ensuring the family's collective story continues to resonate with fans old and new.
