A concert film based on Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath’s final concert in Birmingham, England, earlier this month, will be released in theaters next year.

Mercury Studios is producing the 100-minute concert film, Back to the Beginning: Ozzy’s Final Bow, featuring the sold-out stadium show held in Black Sabbath’s hometown on July 5.

“Presented as a love letter to Ozzy and the pioneering sound of Black Sabbath, the theatrical release will be a distilled version of the epic all-day event held at Villa Park,” says a press release. “Featuring thunderous performances of ‘War Pigs,’ ‘Iron Man,’ ‘Children of the Grave’ and a show-stopping ‘Paranoid,’ the film promises a deeply personal and electrifying farewell from the godfather of heavy metal with exclusive behind-the-scenes access and interviews from this iconic live performance.”

The theatrical release of Back to the Beginning will be followed by a physical version. More details on the rollout of the film and release dates will be announced later.

38 Special, the classic southern rock band behind worldwide hits such as “Hold On Loosely” and “Caught Up In You,” have announced their new album, Milestone, will be released on September 19.

In celebration of the band’s 50th anniversary, their first new music in over 20 years features guests and co-writes with Pat Monahan and Randy Bachman, and longtime collaborator Jim Peterik.

Along with the announcement, 38 Special shared the lead single, “All I Haven’t Said,” and an accompanying music video, which nods to the melody-driven bands that came before them.

“That’s my throwback to the ’60s, inspired by bands like the Searchers,” says frontman and co-founder Don Barnes, who produced the album alongside Peterik. “I’ve always loved that jangling guitar sound and what’s old is new again. We just inject more power guitars to it.”

Formed in 1974 the band have 20 million albums sold to their credit.
