From Metal Throne to Comic Con: The Osbournes Reunite Onstage at UK Pop Culture Festival
The Prince of Darkness is trading power chords for panel appearances. Just days after what may be his final live performance with BLACK SABBATH, Ozzy Osbourne is heading to Comic Con Midlands in Birmingham, U.K., for a special family reunion fans won’t want to miss.
Ozzy will be joined by his iconic wife and manager Sharon, along with their children Kelly and Jack Osbourne, for the convention’s star-studded weekend at the NEC. Organizers say the Osbournes are more than just guests—they’re pop culture royalty. “With Ozzy Osbourne’s legendary music career, Sharon’s powerhouse presence in entertainment, and Kelly and Jack’s unforgettable personalities, the Osbournes have cemented their place in pop culture history,” reads the event’s official statement.
Comic Con Midlands celebrates all things fandom, offering fans a chance to meet their heroes, snag autographs, and attend live onstage interviews. The Osbourne appearance is expected to be one of the most talked-about segments of the weekend.
Longtime fans will remember the Osbourne family from their groundbreaking MTV series The Osbournes, which aired from 2002 to 2005. The reality show, which followed the family’s chaotic yet endearing home life, became the highest-rated original program in MTV’s history and ignited a new era of celebrity reality TV. But behind the scenes, Ozzy later admitted he was far from sober—spending most of the filming stoned, drinking heavily off-camera, and numbing the pressure of being constantly recorded.
In interviews since, both Ozzy and Sharon have reflected on the toll it took. “It got to the point where I was falling apart emotionally,” Ozzy confessed. Sharon added, “Our lives were never the same again.”
Still, fans remember The Osbournes as raw, chaotic, and full of unforgettable moments—from Ozzy’s treadmill runs to Kelly and Jack’s teen meltdowns. Their upcoming appearance promises a mix of nostalgia and renewed appreciation for a family that forever blurred the line between heavy metal and reality TV.
So if you’re a fan of bat-biting stage antics and unforgettable reality TV confessions, clear your calendar. Comic Con Midlands just got a lot louder.
