Ozzy Osbourne Bids Farewell at Villa Park Concert

Ozzy Osbourne gave his final live performance at Birmingham’s Villa Park, reuniting with the original Black Sabbath lineup for the first time in 20 years and marking his retirement from the stage due to health issues. The 'Back to the Beginning' concert featured performances by Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Slayer, and Pantera, all paying tribute to Osbourne’s and Black Sabbath’s impact on heavy music. Throughout the event, artists covered Sabbath classics and celebrities sent messages of thanks. Despite his frailty, Osbourne performed both solo hits and Sabbath anthems to a sold-out crowd of over 40,000 fans. The night ended with fireworks and Osbourne promising to continue recording music, though confirming it was his last concert. Proceeds from the event supported several charities, highlighting the farewell's musical and humanitarian significance.
