As tributes continue to pour in for Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne, known to millions as the “godfather of heavy metal”, many are reflecting on his farewell show, which took place weeks before his death, aged 76.
Osbourne and the three other founding members of Sabbath – Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward – played their final show at Villa Park in their hometown of Birmingham on Saturday 5 July, where they were joined by fellow rock and metal veterans including Metallica, Tom Morello, Guns N’ Roses, Slayer, Lamb of God, and Alice in Chains.
