The heavy metal show, billed as Osbourne’s final stage performance, will donate roughly $190 million (140 million British pounds) to charity, according to an Instagram post from the event’s musical director, Tom Morello.

According to statements from the group and its charity partners, the concert, watched by 40,000 ticketholders and 5.8 million individuals online, will distribute funds equally to Birmingham Children’s Hospital, Acorn Children’s Hospice and Cure Parkinson’s — an organization dedicated to finding a cure for the disease Osbourne has lived with since 2019. It is unclear yet what the final donation to each charity will be.

Wow! That is an amazing amount of money raised. Well done! (I have a family member who died from Parkinson's and anything that can help find a cure is dearly needed.)
