The metal luminary, 76, took the stage with his original bandmates at a farewell festival in his Birmingham, England, hometown on Saturday night.

Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward all grew up within a few streets of each other, a stone's throw from the Aston stadium. The band's relevance to the city's cultural heritage was recognised when they were awarded the Freedom of Birmingham last weekend.

Ozzy Osbourne’s final live show was an emotional night for fans and friends across the world. Just after the Prince of Darkness took to the stage on a bat-winged throne for Black Sabbath’s Back to the Beginning concert, his son, Jack, posted the most poignant tribute of all.
