Ozzy Osbourne joined Black Sabbath on stage for his final show just weeks before the singer’s death. The 76-year-old, whose death was announced on Tuesday (22 July), joined his Black Sabbath bandmates at a huge event held in their hometown of Birmingham earlier this month. Ozzy performed some of his biggest solo hits from a black-winged throne during his final public appearance at Villa Park on 5 July. “It's so good to be on this f***ing stage, you have no idea,” he told fans during the show. News of his death was announced by his family, who said in a statement he was “with his family and surrounded by love.”

He pioneered heavy metal, became an unlikely reality TV star and performed a colossal final concert two weeks before his death.

Makeshift shrines in the star's home city have pint glasses and whisky bottles among the flowers and candles.
