Ozzy Osbourne took his final bow on Saturday from a bat-winged throne during his "Back to the Beginning" show with Black Sabbath.
It was a 10-hour event with over 40,000 fans in their hometown of Birmingham, England. Here are some highlights:
1. Ozzy's vocals sounded strong, despite his Parkinson's battle, and other physical setbacks. He remained seated, and for his solo set, he sang "I Don't Know", "Mr. Crowley", "Suicide Solution", "Mama I'm Coming Home", and "Crazy Train".
He told the crowd, quote, "I don't know what to say, man, I've been laid up for like six years. You have no idea how I feel . . . thank you from the bottom of my heart. You're all special. Let's go crazy, come on."
