The Back to the Beginning concert paying homage to Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath that is serving as both of their final performances is now underway.
It’s a partially sunny and warm day at the Villa Park venue in Birmingham, England and the first sets of the day are now underway. As the day continues, we’ll be updating the setlists of all of the performers and letting you know who has played what as they share their nods of respect to the metal pioneers.
There were also video messages sent and played throughout the day. Def Leppard, Billy Idol, Korn’s Jonathan Davis and Marilyn Manson were among those sending along their best wishes and memories of Sabbath and Ozzy through video tributes.
