It was the heavy metal gig to, for many fans, end all heavy metal gigs as Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath bade farewell to live performing supported by a host of legendary music acts in front of 40,000 fans. The group, formed in Birmingham in 1968, rocked out Villa Park in a homecoming gig that had created a huge buzz in the city in recent weeks.

It was Ozzy Osbourne's last post on social media. The death of the legendary "Prince of Darkness" and Black Sabbath frontman was announced one day later. He died at the age of 76, surrounded by his family. The pioneer of the heavy metal scene didn't write a caption, he only linked his song "Mr. Crowley".
