Hand-signed embellished canvas on board limited edition by Jon Jones.

Figurative artist Jon Jones pays homage to heavy metal pioneers Black Sabbath in this striking group portrait. This piece was created to mark the band’s homecoming, and final, concert in Birmingham in 2025, just weeks before the death of their legendary frontman Ozzy Osbourne.

Sharon Osbourne personally selected this image of the band from the early 1970s for Jones to recreate. In the piece we see Ozzy, alongside Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward, at the start of their genre-defining rise to global fame.

Considered the ‘original’ heavy metal band by many, ‘Changes’ captures the group’s raw energy, rebellious spirit and deeply embedded legacy in global music culture.

The gritty, urban style of Jon Jones’ art is reflective of the origin story of Black Sabbath, which saw these four young men looking to escape a life of factory work through music in 1960s Birmingham. But it was the second city’s industrial core that wound up birthing an entirely new music genre by chance.

“I’m immensely proud and honoured to have been asked to paint Black Sabbath during the run up to their final concert together. It’s somewhat bittersweet with the passing of Ozzy, but what a legacy he leaves. They are true legends – in Birmingham and beyond.” - Jon Jones
