The music video begins with Ozzy at his current age of 71 entering a movie theater. He witnesses his own life taking place on the big screen of the theater, and he watches events unfolding throughout his entire life. The scenes begin with his childhood in Birmingham, England and progress through his years with the iconic rock band Black Sabbath. There are many scenes of him on stage during performances.

Not all of the events in his life are pictured as success and fame. There are some scenes of Ozzy's mugshots from arrests, and Ozzy becomes overcome with emotion when a shot of guitarist Randy Rhoads comes on the screen. The guitarist played in some of the most well-known Black Sabbath hit songs, but he tragically died in a plane crash at age 25 while still touring with the band. There are also many scenes of Ozzy's family life, and the final scene features Ozzy and Sharon embracing in a kiss.

Ozzy reported last month that he was canceling his concert tour for the new album because he had to devote time to medical issues. Apparently, the rock star has been dealing with Parkinson's disease for almost two decades, but it hasn't put a stop to his music career yet. Ozzy shared that he needs to go to Switzerland and undergo treatments for up to 8 weeks for his illness.

Ozzy explained that he didn't want to cancel shows after fans had already bought tickets and were expecting to attend performances, so he made the announcement well ahead of time. He explained that people who already bought tickets will get refunds and have priority for purchasing new tickets when the tour resumes in North America.
