Black Sabbath’s final show featured some of the biggest names in classic rock, including Guns ‘N Roses, and Axl Rose posted an emotional message to Ozzy Osbourne and the rest of the original band on social media after their big farewell performance.
“Wow!! What an EVENT!! Extremely overwhelming!! Really great crowd!! Was very emotional for everyone!! MET OZZY!! (Crazy we'd never met b4!!) He was really great!! Was great to meet Sabbath!!” Rose shared in a post via X on July 6. “Was hard as l imagine for anyone to watch his struggles while at the same time everyone was rooting for him n' massively respecting the challenges he took head on n' HE DID IT!!!”
The “November Rain” singer continued, “Was great to meet Ozzy's family n' see friends n' peeps in all the bands n' the business. A HUGE THANK YOU again to Ozzy, Sharon [Osbourne,] Black Sabbath n' all the fans for having us!!”
Rose took the stage with Slash, bass guitarist Duff McKagan and new drummer Isaac Carpenter to perform a six-song set that included four Black Sabbath covers. Izzy Stradlin and Steven Adler, two original members from the Appetite for Destruction era of Guns N’ Roses, were not present. Along with Black Sabbath’s “It’s Alright,” “Never Say Die,” “Junior’s Eyes” and “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath,” Guns ‘N Roses also played their hits “Welcome to the Jungle” and “Paradise City” for the crowd.
Osbourne addressed the crowd throughout the night, and just before Black Sabbath performed their final song, the heavy metal icon spoke to the audience one last time.
“Unfortunately, we've come to our final song – ever,” the “Crazy Train” artist said. “I just want to say to you on behalf of the guys in Black Sabbath and myself, your support over the years has made it all possible for us to live the lifestyle that we do. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I love you. We love you.”
The night was pretty emotional for all involved, and at the end of the concert, Osbourne’s bandmates presented him with a cake, and fireworks lit up the stadium to honor the end of his live career.
