Emotional farewell for Black Sabbath
------------------------------------
Announced earlier this year, Back To The Beginning at Villa Park stadium was billed as the "final bow" for the man revered as a founder of heavy metal after several years of health problems, including Parkinson's disease.
Throughout the day, giant Ozzy and Black Sabbath beach balls, in the Aston Villa claret and blue, were bounced around the crowd.
The farewell concert was planned so that Ozzy Osbourne could retire from his performing career on a high - after he had previously been forced to cancel shows he had planned in 2023. He had several years of health problems, including Parkinson's disease.

The gig came after the Black Sabbath band members were awarded the freedom of Birmingham earlier in June, recognised for their significance to the cultural and musical identity of the city they grew up in.
The group formed in 1968 and went on to become one of the most successful metal bands of all time, selling more than 75 million albums worldwide over the years.
