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.”

The Black Sabbath frontman had performed from on stage at Villa Park in Birmingham less than three weeks ago.

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.
