Black Sabbath Final Show 'Back to the Beginning' Highlights
Rana Atef More than 50 years after their formation in Birmingham, Black Sabbath brought their legendary career to a close with an unforgettable farewell concert at Villa Park titled 'Back to the Beginning.' Curated by Tom Morello and hosted by Jason Momoa, the 10-hour spectacle was both a tribute and a celebration, uniting rock and metal's biggest names in honor of the band that defined heavy metal. Jason Momoa, serving as the day's enthusiastic emcee, declared it 'the most epic day in the history of heavy metal' and lived up to his words — snapping selfies, introducing bands, and even diving into the mosh pit during Pantera's set. His energy set the tone for a day full of explosive performances and heartfelt tributes. Among the standout moments was Jack Black's powerful video performance of Ozzy Osbourne's 'Mr. Crowley,' accompanied by Roman Morello and Revel Ian. The cover stood out for its vocal accuracy and theatrical flair. Lzzy Hale also delivered a searing performance of 'Perry Mason' and 'Ultimate Sin,' backed by guitar greats like Nuno Bettencourt and Jake E. Lee. Bettencourt, in particular, shone throughout the event with intricate, soulful guitar work — especially during a memorable collaboration with Disturbed on 'Sweet Leaf.' The star-studded 'superjam' lineup, featuring Ronnie Wood, Steven Tyler, Billy Corgan, Papa V of Ghost, Travis Barker, and more, delivered an electrifying mix of Sabbath covers and rock classics, including 'Breaking the Law,' 'Walk This Way,' and 'Whole Lotta Love.' Meanwhile, Yungblud's emotional take on 'Changes' added a softer, more reflective moment to the evening. A drum circle featuring Travis Barker, Chad Smith, and Danny Carey was another high point, as the three powerhouse drummers pounded through a fiery version of 'Symptom of the Universe.' Tool later performed a gripping version of 'Hand of Doom,' with Maynard James Keenan's haunting vocals making it one of the day's most intense performances. Metallica and Guns N' Roses rounded out the lineup before Sabbath's final set, each band delivering a mix of originals and Sabbath tributes. Metallica's 'Master of Puppets' and GnR's 'Paradise City' shared the spotlight with faithful Sabbath covers, underscoring the influence of Osbourne and his bandmates on generations of rockers. The emotional peak came with Ozzy's final performance, seated on a bat-themed throne due to health issues but still vocally strong. Backed by Zakk Wylde for his solo set and rejoined by Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward for the last-ever Sabbath performance, Osbourne led the crowd through emotional renditions of 'Crazy Train,' 'Mama, I'm Coming Home,' 'War Pigs,' and 'Paranoid.' Closing out a legendary chapter in music history, Black Sabbath's final bow was a thunderous, emotional, and joy-filled tribute — a fitting farewell to the godfathers of heavy metal. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean

Ozzy Osbourne charging fans thousands for photo and autograph package
EXCLUSIVE: Frontman Ozzy Osbourne will end his performing days this weekend, then head to an event where he'll pose with fans for big payday with family Ozzy Osbourne super-fans will have to fork out more than £1,400 for the metal icon to sign a microphone or guitar at an upcoming event, and nearly £1,000 for a photograph with him. The Black Sabbath frontman, 76, will perform for the final time on Saturday alongside his bandmates - Tony Iommi, 77, Geezer Butler, 75, and Bill Ward, 77 - at Villa Park, Aston, in a farewell heavy metal show called Back to the Beginning. But a week later he will head 12 miles down road to Comic Con Midlands, at Birmingham's NEC, where the Prince of Darkness and his family - wife and former X Factor judge Sharon Osbourne, 72, their daughter Kelly Osbourne, 40, and son Jack Osbourne, 39 - will meet and have photographs taken with die-hard fans on Saturday, July 12. Supporters will have to spend £666 - often referred to as the number of the beast in heavy metal circles - for the top-tier Ultimate Sin VIP Package at Comic Con Midlands. For that, fans will receive a group professional photo opportunity with Ozzy, Sharon, Kelly and Jack - whose fame increased in 2002 thanks to their The Osbournes reality TV show - but it is limited to two people per photo. However, under-5s are not included in the restriction. Ultimate Sin VIP package purchasers will also receive separate 8x10 signed photos of the quartet, and will be given the option to purchase a solo professional photo opportunity with Ozzy and the Paranoid singer's autograph - if they pay more. Anyone wanting Ozzy to sign their microphone or guitar will have to spend £750 for the privilege, meaning they will have spent £1,416 in total, including the Ultimate Sin VIP package. And fans can have a professional photo with Ozzy - who is suffering from Parkinson's disease - for £300, but they will have spent a total of £966 including the top-tier package. The rock god will also sign an album, toy or poster for £375, or a book for £225 - for supporters with VIP package status - according to a Comic Con Midlands Facebook post. In response to the event's pricing structure announcement, one Facebook user wrote: "Laughable prices, genuinely laughable" Another posted: "Time to start selling me kidney" One posted: "Do we have to get VIP to meet Ozzy or can we meet him solo?" Comic Con Midlands replied: "You'll need the VIP package." In contrast, Sex Pistols legend John Lydon - AKA Johnny Rotten - is charging a far more modest £90 for a pre-show meet and greet - including a photograph, autograph, and goody bag - on various dates of his I Could Be Wrong, I Could Be Right spoken word tour later this year. At Comic Con Midlands, a photograph with American thrash metallers Scott Ian and Frank Bello from Anthrax - who will also be playing at Black Sabbath's farewell show on Saturday - is priced at £110, and Slipknot fans will only have to pay £60 for a picture with the metal band's turntablist Sid Wilson. What's more, a photograph with Ozzy's wife Sharon is priced at £80, and snaps with Kelly or Jack are £60. Former Celebrity Big Brother star Sharon will also sign an autograph for £60, while Kelly and Jack's signatures are £40 apiece. On Saturday, original Sabbath members Ozzy, Tony, Geezer and Bill will be reunited at Back to the Beginning for the first time in 20 years. Ozzy said: 'It's my final encore; it's my chance to say thank you to my fans for always supporting me and being there for me.' Ozzy now has Parkinson's disease and has struggled for ill health for a number of years and so is unable to play a full live show.
