Hollywood actor Jason Momoa has taken to the stage at Villa Park for the ‘epic’ Black Sabbath gig today.
The Aquaman star is hosting the gig today – and spoke about how much he is ‘obsessed’ with the Birmingham heavy metal band.
The Game of Thrones actor said to the huge crowds: “Welcome to Back to the Beginning – the final show ever. I’m not gonna lie to you, when this concert was announced I knew it was going to be the greatest night of music ever.

“I f*****g freaked out and told everyone I knew. I gotta get here, I gotta bring my kids. I’m not just a fan, I am obsessed with Sabbath.
“Every character that I’ve ever played has been inspired by this music – it’s in everything that I am. So when the Osbourne’s called and asked me to host I was scared as hell, I’ve never done this before in my life.
“But if this is how I get exclusive tickets and be the luckiest of 40,000 people in the world I said… let’s f*****g go.
“Today we celebrate heavy metal. A movement invented by Black Sabbath. Can we have a celebration of all of you, of Birmingham, because this is the city that gave birth to them.
“We also wanna welcome all the metal heads all over the world joining us on the live stream so say what is up everybody.
“Together we’re gonna make this the most epic day in the history of heavy metal.”
