Elton John sends in a message for Ozzy Osbourne
Elton John tells Ozzy: You are one of the most remarkable singles of our time... You are the king, you are the legend.

“You’ve been through so much crap in the last few years. I hope this is the best day of your life so far.”

Элтон Джон передает сообщение Оззи Осборну
Элтон Джон говорит Оззи: Ты один из самых замечательных одиночек нашего времени... Ты король, ты легенда.

«За последние несколько лет ты пережил столько дерьма. Надеюсь, это пока лучший день в твоей жизни».
James Hetfield: 'Look at all this love for heavy metal!'
“Without Sabbath there would be no Metallica,” the frontman announces. “Thank you boys for giving us purpose in life.”

Metallica went big on the speed metal, obliterating “Master of Puppets” and pouring a lifetime of riffs into their cover of “Johnny Blade”, a track from Sabbath’s eighth studio album Never Say Die! (1978) - the last one featuring their original lineup and the last with Ozzy’s vocals until 13 (2013).

Джеймс Хэтфилд: «Посмотрите на всю эту любовь к хэви-металу!»

«Без Sabbath не было бы Metallica», — заявляет фронтмен. «Спасибо вам, ребята, за то, что дали нам цель в жизни».

Metallica пошла в гору в спид-метале, блестяще исполнив «Master of Puppets» и вложив риффы всей своей жизни в кавер-версию «Johnny Blade», трека с восьмого студийного альбома Sabbath Never Say Die! (1978) — последнего с оригинальным составом и последнего с вокалом Оззи до 13 (2013).
Ozzy's statement on Back to the Beginning
Back when the gig was first announced, Ozzy explained what this show means to him:

“It’s my time to go Back to the Beginning….time for me to give back to the place where I was born,” Osbourne said in a statement. “How blessed am I to do it with the help of people whom I love. Birmingham is the true home of metal. Birmingham Forever.”

Заявление Оззи о Back to the Beginning
Когда концерт был впервые анонсирован, Оззи объяснил, что это шоу значит для него:

«Пришло мое время вернуться Back to the Beginning… время для меня отдать долг месту, где я родился», — сказал Осборн в заявлении. «Как же я благословлен, что делаю это с помощью людей, которых я люблю. Бирмингем — истинная родина металла. Бирмингем навсегда».
Guns N Roses, and a message from Ricky Gervais
At the live event, Guns N Roses have hammered out half a set of Sabbath covers before turning to “Welcome to the Jungle” and “Paradise City”.

Ricky Gervais sends Ozzy a video message from the bath: “Your humour and charisma has made you an everlasting treasure.”

And more AI videos: Now Ozzy’s a blue alien in Avatar, and onstage with The Beatles circa 1964 doing “Twist and Shout”.

Guns N Roses и сообщение от Рики Джервэ
На живом концерте Guns N Roses отыграли половину каверов Sabbath, прежде чем перейти к «Welcome to the Jungle» и «Paradise City».

Рики Джервэ отправляет Оззи видеообращение из ванной: «Твой юмор и харизма сделали тебя вечным сокровищем».

И еще больше видео с ИИ: Теперь Оззи — синий инопланетянин в «Аватаре», а на сцене с The Beatles около 1964 года исполняет «Twist and Shout».
Sharon Osbourne says 'we're done' after tonight
Sharon Osbourne — who is married to Ozzy, has managed his solo career since it started in 1979, and has also handled Sabbath — says “there’s no way on God’s Earth” there will be more shows.

“We’re done,” she told Billboard. “I’ve been doing this since I was 15, and I’m done. We just want to live our life and do what we want to do and not have to follow an itinerary anymore.”

Шэрон Осборн говорит: «Мы закончили» после сегодняшнего вечера
Шэрон Осборн — которая замужем за Оззи, управляла его сольной карьерой с момента ее начала в 1979 году, а также управляла Sabbath — говорит, что «ни за что на свете» не будет больше концертов.

«Мы закончили», — сказала она Billboard. «Я занималась этим с 15 лет, и с меня хватит. Мы просто хотим жить своей жизнью и делать то, что хотим, и больше не следовать расписанию».

Mike Inez's tribute to Ozzy and Black Sabbath
Mike Inez met Ozzy Osbourne in 1989 while auditioning for his band aged 23; a month later he was playing live with the Prince of Darkness at Wembley Stadium. He went on to join the metal band Alice in Chains, and has also played with bands including Slash’s Snakepit, Heart and Black Label Society.

Hearing Black Sabbath for the first time changed my life. I come from a really musical family, so we had a lot of records around the house, but there was just something different about that first Sabbath record. The opening chords, it was just like, ‘Oh, my God, what’s this all about?’ I was instantly drawn to it. And now they’re such a big part of the tapestry of my life. I can’t even tell you – I’ll be on vacation after a big tour like, ‘No music, I’m having a break.’ But for me, no music means solely listening to Black Sabbath.

It’s nice to be a small slice of the big history of Ozzy’s career, you know? I co-wrote “No More Tears” – it was so funny. The first time I saw Ozzy play in the flesh was in 1983, there was this big festival, the US Festival here in California. I went on the heavy metal day, tickets were 20 bucks and it was Van Halen, Scorpions, Judas Priest, Motley Crue and Ozzy. Seeing Ozzy, I had this epiphany – I was already playing guitar at that point, I think I was a junior in high school – but when I went to that concert and saw Ozzy, it was like this light bulb went off and I realised I was on the wrong side of the f***ing PA – I needed to be on the stage!

So how do I manifest that? What’s that going to take? Well, you just dive in – seven years later, I’m in the Ozzy band. It’s amazing that he was the one who made me realise I had to figure this out and literally, seven years later, I’m flying to Ireland and living in County Wicklow with them, doing rehearsals to play McGonagles. We did the two shows, then the Marquee club [in London], then Wembley. That’s how it all started for me, living in a house with Ozzy and the band.

My first impression of him, well… First of all, you’re starstruck. It’s just like, holy s***! This is the guy I’d been watching in videos and staring at his album covers my whole life, and suddenly there he is. The audition process was crazy – it was at Joe’s Garage, Frank Zappa’s place in Los Angeles. It was all surreal to me. I remember showing up – I was wearing a ratty LA Kings hockey jersey and jeans, and everyone else in there was in leather. So in my head I was thinking, “OK, I’m never getting this f***ing gig, so I’m just gonna have a good time with it, and be able to say I got to play ‘Crazy Train’ with Ozzy one time.” Little did I know I was going to get it, and then my whole life trajectory was going to change.

I owe everything to Ozzy Osbourne. Ozzy and Sharon changed my life – I didn’t have decent bass gear before then, I didn’t have health insurance, I didn’t have a passport. I wouldn’t have met Alice in Chains or anybody else I jam with. It all goes back to Ozzy, all the way back to the beginning. He’s like a father figure, or an older brother. One thing I do remember is just that we laughed – that’s my one solid thread of all the memories of every gig, every album. We were always laughing, because it’s impossible not to laugh in a room when you got Zakk Wylde and Ozzy Osbourne in there just cracking jokes.

Black Sabbath basically created heavy metal. There were a couple of other bands around – but with Sabbath it was the image of it, and there’s something about Birmingham, right? There’s something in the water there – it reminds me of Pittsburgh here in the States, a working-class town of hard-working people, so there wasn’t any pretentiousness. And there’s something to be said about their chemistry, too: the way Bill Ward played drums is completely different to how a modern metal drummer would play now. Ozzy’s voice is just so good – no one will ever sound like him, and I’ve never seen a crowd respond to one man like they do with him. Seeing the four original guys up there on that stage, man, I’m gonna cry like a baby!
