Watch The Final Black Sabbath Show Ever

Black Sabbath’s original members reunited to give Ozzy Osbourne’s farewell show a powerful send-off on Saturday night with a four-song set. Although Ozzy, guitarist Tony Iommi, and bassist Geezer Butler have toured together in recent years, this was their first live performance with founding drummer Bill Ward since 2005.

Osbourne Overcomes Health Challenges for Final Performance

In the past, Osbourne expressed that the band’s previous farewell tour, The End, didn’t feel whole without Ward. After canceling his No More Tours 2 solo tour in 2023 due to health issues, he dedicated himself to recovery and training to prepare for Back to the Beginning—his last-ever solo appearance and a long-anticipated Sabbath reunion.

A Celebration of Heavy Metal Legends

The band’s set focused solely on tracks from their first two albums, including three songs from 1970’s Paranoid and one from their self-titled debut. Their performance wrapped up a packed day of rock and metal music, with stars like Guns N’ Roses, Steven Tyler, Pantera, Tool, Sammy Hagar, and Alice in Chains taking the stage to perform their own songs and tributes. Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich called the event a “heavy metal summer camp” in a backstage video.
