Sharon Osbourne revealed that she disinvited one well-known band from Ozzy Osbourne's final concert event with Black Sabbath.
Speaking with Billboard ahead of her husband's final show with the heavy metal group, which took place at England's Villa Park on July 5, Sharon said that one band was removed from performing at the "Back to the Beginning" concert event because its members "wanted to make a profit."
"It's not the time to make a profit," Sharon, the 72-year-old TV personality who also manages Ozzy's solo career, told the outlet. "After the show I'll let everybody know who it was. I think people will be shocked."
Sharon, who has also managed Black Sabbath aside from her husband's career since 1979, previously told Metal Hammer in June that the unnamed group's removal from the lineup came after a dispute with the its manager, leading her to feel "the worst way I've felt in years."
"I had a huge, huge to-do with a manager over this celebration for Ozzy and Sabbath," she explained. "And I don't care what this person says about me, thinks about it, because he doesn't know me. And he's now going around making up b------- lies because I threw his band off the bill."
Although some heavy metal fans speculated that the band removed from the bill was Iron Maiden, Sharon dismissed those rumors.
"Oh god, no. Ozzy only has respect for the guys in Maiden," she said.
The "Back to the Beginning" concert event took place in the rock band's hometown of Birmingham, England, and also featured a who's-who of rock icons such as Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Slayer and more.
Black Sabbath performed "War Pigs," "N.I.B.," "Iron Man" and "Paranoid" -- while Osbourne, 76, also performed solo songs such as "I Don't Know," "Mr. Crowley," "Suicide Solution," "Mama, I'm Coming Home" and "Crazy Train."
"Back to the Beginning" marked the full group's first performance since their The End Tour, which also concluded in Birmingham in 2017.
At the July 5 show, since Osbourne's ability to stand and walk has been greatly affected by Parkinson's disease -- which he was diagnosed with in 2019 -- the rocker sat on a bat-themed throne with a skull design on each arm rest for the performance.
Earlier this year, Osbourne confirmed to Billboard that he wouldn't perform a full set with Black Sabbath, saying, "I am doing what I can, where I feel comfortable."
