Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne’s final gig – as it happened

The influential Birmingham band played their final concert - called Back to the Beginning - and were joined by the cream of heavy metal. Relive all 11 hours of mayhem here

You'll be thinking: show me photos of all these starry metal shenanigans! I'm really sorry but Live Nation have told me there won't be any photos available until the end of the gig, and the livestream doesn't allow screengrabs. Use the power of your mind, I guess.

There are a notable number of empty seats there, but remember this was all going on two hours ago which is quite an early start for a massive stadium show. Stadium really pretty full from the beginning - testament to the depth of the line up," Michael says. Maiden a fortnight ago had a higher proportion of battle jackets though."
