The day-long concert special featured standout performances from Osbourne and Black Sabbath, Metallica, Guns n' Roses, Jack Black and more.

Boozers were decked with purple balloons and flags; murals were everywhere you looked; people donned Ozzy outfits, flooding the streets with battered T-shirts and denim jackets. It felt like a World Cup final for the metal fans who flooded in from every corner of the planet .

Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath both played their final shows today (July 5th) in their hometown of Birmingham, UK, at the star-studded Back to the Beginning show. The eight-hour-plus event boasted a historic lineup of famous fans and friends assembled by Music Director Tom Morello, who promised "the greatest heavy-metal show ever."
