Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath made sure to make their final live performance a night to remember as their Birmingham gig had some of the biggest names in the heavy metal scene, all united for an honourable reason.

The concert, which was attended by around 40,000 fans was reportedly a massive fundraising event for multiple charities.

In a dream lineup for rock fans, the show included performances from Guns N' Roses, Metallica, Rolling Stones' Ronnie Wood and Aerosmith's Steven Tyler.

Moreover, the band at the heart of it all, Black Sabbath took the stage with all of their original band members for the first time in two decades.

Osbourne, who is afflicted with Parkinson ’s disease, rocked the crowds seated on a black throne in the centre of the stage, marking a powerful presence undeterred by his condition.

At one point during the concert, the 76-year-old seemed to be overwhelmed with emotion as he told concertgoers, "You have no idea how I feel. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."

The singer, nicknamed the “Prince of Darkness” had noted beforehand that this show would be a goodbye, in terms of his concert presence, and that it would be a great way to go out, which turned out to be true in the end.

Did Jason Mamoa attend the concert?

Yes, the Aquaman actor Jason Mamoa was in the crowd, and told fans to make way fror him as he joined the mosh pit.
