Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne’s final gig – as it happened


The Birmingham band are back together for one last concert at Villa Park, entitled Back to the Beginning – joined by the cream of heavy metal. Follow every song here

After last night’s return of Oasis, now we have Black Sabbath, ultra-poignantly getting back together to give the big man up front the send off he deserves. But thanks to the sterling efforts of wife Sharon Osbourne, musical director Tom Morello and an eye-popping network of greats, we’re about to have what could reasonably be described as the biggest event in heavy metal history. I’ll be following along with the livestream at home which starts at 3pm, while Michael Hann is in Villa Park itself and will be sending back his observations plus a big review at the end of the night.
