\n\tThe original lineup of Black Sabbath<\/a> reunited for the first time in 20 years on Saturday in the U.K. \u2014 and for the last time ever, since the performance was also billed as the final concert ever for singer Ozzy Osbourne<\/a>. The Birmingham stadium show climaxed with a four-song Sabbath set, preceded by Osbourne doing a five-song set of his solo material \u2026 preceded in turn by a full day\u2019s worth of metal and hard-rock all-stars doing mini-sets that included Sabbath covers as well as original material.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s so good to be on this fucking stage, you have no idea,\u201d Osbourne told the crowd of 42,000 when his winged throne first rose up from under the stage. \u201cLet the madness begin!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBlack Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi had indicated earlier that the group would only be doing four songs, due to their collective stamina issues, and that indeed turned out to be the case, with him, Osbourne, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward performing \u201cWar Pigs,\u201d \u201cNIB,\u201d \u201cIron Man\u201d and \u201cParanoid\u201d to close out the 10-hour day at the stadium. Following the last number, the now presumably retired-for-good Osbourne was presented with a cake, as fireworks went off over Villa Park.<\/p>\n

\n\tEarlier, for his \u201csolo\u201d set, Osbourne was supported by a band that included his longtime post-Sabbath guitarist Zakk Wylde as he sang \u201cI Don\u2019t Know,\u201d \u201cMr. Crowley,\u201d \u201cSuicide Solution,\u201d \u201cMama I\u2019m Coming Home\u201d and \u201cCrazy Train.\u201d Before performing \u201cMama,\u201d he told the audience that he had been \u201claid up for six years\u201d and added, \u201cThank you from the bottom of my heart.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMetallica<\/a>, Guns N Roses<\/a>, Slayer, Tool, Pantera, Gojira, Alice in Chains, Lamb of God, Halestorm, Anthrax, Rival Sons and Mastodon did sets ranging from two to seven songs in length, each of them including at least one Sabbath or Osbourne cover. GNR won the prize for the greatest amount of veneration as far as sheer quantity goes, with the Axl Rose-fronted unit doing four Sabbath covers before finishing off with two of the band\u2019s own songs.<\/p>\n

\n\tThat list of support acts does not count a pair of supergroups that included such figures as Aerosmith\u2019s Steven Tyler, Billy Corgan, Ronnie Wood, Travis Barker, Sammy Hagar, Andrew Watt, Yungblud, Korn\u2019s Jonathan Davis, Nuno Bettencourt, Chad Smith, Vernon Reid and many others. Sitting in with one of the supergroups was Rage Against the Machine\u2019s Tom Morello, who served as the official curator of the day\u2019s lineup. <\/p>\n

\n\tActor Jason Momoa was the host for the festivities, when not jumping into the moshpit: \u201cMake some space for me, I\u2019m coming in!\u201d he announced to the crowd.<\/p>\n

\n\t(Scroll down to see the complete setlists for each of the day\u2019s performances, along with video excerpts of some of the main attractions.)<\/p>\n

\n\tThe show was viewed not just by the 42,000 in attendance at Villa Park in Birmingham in central England, but more than 3 million more who paid for a livestream \u2014 which was a bit of a misnomer, since the stream ran about two hours behind the live festivities.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe day went off without many obvious hitches, although one unexpected development was Disturbed singer David Draiman being greeted with boos as well as cheers. (Draiman participated in one of the all-star jams, singing covers of \u201cSweet Leaf\u201d and Osbourne\u2019s solo song \u201cShot in the Dark.\u201d) \u201cWe gonna start this?\u201d he defiantly asked the crowd. It was believed that the booing had to do with the singer\u2019s very vocal support of Israel. He recently congratulated Sharon Osbourne after she called for Kneecap\u2019s visas to be revoked, and he shared a photo of himself signing artillery shells used by the IDF in its assault on Gaza, including the inscription \u201cFuck Hamas.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIt did not come as a surprise that Osbourne was seated for this final performance. Although he had still been performing standing in 2022, by the time of 2024, when he was inducted as a solo artist into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Osbourne was seated for that show. The 76-year-old has been recovering from spinal surgeries in recent years as well as Parkinson\u2019s disease. On his SiriusXM radio show this year, he said, \u201cI can\u2019t walk, but you know what I was thinking over the holidays? For all my complaining, I\u2019m still alive.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn affirming that this really would be his last live performance, Osbourne told the Guardian, \u201cI\u2019d love to say \u2018never say never\u2019, but after the last six years or so \u2026 it is time. I don\u2019t want to die in a hotel room somewhere. I want to spend the rest of my life with my family.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOsbourne had also indicated that he wanted to put a final cap on Sabbath\u2019s legacy as well as his own career. The group put out its debut album in 1970, marking the true advent of heavy metal, to many fans\u2019 minds, and then he departed for a solo career in 1979. There were reunions at various points over the years, but the last time all four original members performed live together was at the close of the Ozzfest tour in 2005. Three members of the band had participated in a final album, \u201c13,\u201d in 2013, and the group did its final show up till now in Birmingham in 2017, but Ward had not been a part of those post-2005 reunions.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe all-star cast paid tribute to the band and specifically to Osbourne throughout the day. \u201cBlack Sabbath: we\u2019d all be different people without them, that\u2019s the truth,\u201d said Pantera singer Phil Anselmo. \u201cI know I wouldn\u2019t be up here with a microphone in my hand without\u00a0Black Sabbath\u00a0\u2026 who\u2019s greater?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tReviewing the show almost in real time from on-site for the Guardian, critic Michael Hann wrote: \u201cOzzy, bless his heart, is not what he was. He delivers both his solo set and the Sabbath set from a throne, and at times he is clearly struggling to hit pitch. But he seems deeply moved by his reception, and the crowd carry him when he can\u2019t hit the notes. It\u2019s very emotional and one senses he \u2013 as well as the crowd \u2013 wish he could have been fit for longer sets. But what a joy to see the original Sabbath foursome \u2013 drummer Bill Ward stripped to the waist, alarmingly \u2013 if only for four songs. \u2018Paranoid\u2019 ends, fireworks begin, and that\u2019s your lot.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tProceeds from the concert will be divided up between Cure Parkinson\u2019s, the Birmingham children\u2019s hospital and the Birmingham-based Acorns children\u2019s hospice.<\/p>\n
