I haven't felt energy like this before at a gig. "It's like everyone in Birmingham is channelling their energy into the Prince of Darkness and he's hurling it right back. ‌ "This is where he belongs. This is where he has lived and where he will always live: under the lights with his people. "What's more, if the other performers tonight are proof of anything, it's that the power of Ozzy and of Black Sabbath live on through them, and heavy metal musicians all around the world. "Few things are eternal, but Ozzy Osbourne is!" ‌ Ozzy Osbourne on his black winged throne Our reporter Robson McCallister is also in the crowd tonight.

"The phone cameras are lighting up like fireflies for Ozzy's farewell set, nobody wants to forget a moment as history is made. ‌ "Ozzy is joined on stage by his long-time lead guitarist Zakk Wylde. It wouldn't be a farewell show without Wylde's inclusion". Kirsty chimed in: "Torch lights up across the arena for Mama I'm Comin Home, tears, snuggles. Sharon has said in the past this was one of her favourite songs. I wonder how she feels in this moment." In conclusion, she exclaimed: "Man that was the BEST set.

Ozzy couldn't have looked happier, he grinned from ear to ear any time his clap inspired 40k other claps, any time he raised his arms and got 40k screams!". "It was incredible. Ticker tape cannons for a celebratory finish. What a superb time. We couldn't have asked for more. Time hasn't taken his spirit, his sense of humour or his determination to entertain and put on a show. "This will surely give him the renewed energy he needs. But I don't feel he needs it. He isn't ailing, he's ROCKING THE F*****G PLACE."
