Ozzy Osbourne's final words on stage: Black Sabbath rocker gives emotional message to fans as he closes out his last ever live performance amid his ailing health


The rocker, 76, reunited with his Black Sabbath bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward for their first performance in their original line-up since 2005 - and their final ever show.

And the heavy metal singer had some poignant words for Villa Park as he brought the show to an emotional close in his hometown, Birmingham - where Black Sabbath formed some 56 years ago. Ozzy previously said he was unsure whether he was going to stand or sit down to perform due to his spinal operations, and he made an epic arrival on stage in a black quilted throne with a huge bat on top. The audience chanted 'Ozzy, Ozzy' as he left the stage before a touching tribute to Diogo Jota flashed up on screen as a picture of the Liverpool footballer giving a heart sign with his back turned was shown.
