The epic 'Back to the Beginning' send-off was held at Villa Park in Birmingham, England, and streamed live globally.

After Metallica’s performance, Osbourne, 76, came out on stage and performed a five-song set by himself, before he was joined by his former bandmates Tony Iommi, Bill Ward and Geezer Butler for four of the group’s songs.

The musical director of Black Sabbath's final performance, Tom Morello, has described putting the mammoth metal event together as an "honour". Morello, who is also the guitarist for Rage Against The Machine, said when planning the concert at Villa Park in Birmingham - it was the only venue considered.
