WATCH: Ozzy Osbourne and Tony Iommi Rock Black Sabbath Classics at Commonwealth Games
Never say die! Black Sabbath legends Ozzy Osbourne and Tony Iommi surprised and delighted a hometown crowd of more than 30,000 in Birmingham, England for the closing ceremonies of the 2022 Commonwealth Games.
With Adam Wakeman on bass and Tommy Clufetos on drums, Osbourne and Iommi took the stage at Alexander Stadium in Birmingham, the site for this year's edition of the quadrennial multi-sports competition. The outfit shared a brief version of "Iron Man" before launching into the perennial classic, "Paranoid." Massive fireworks displays exploded over the stadium as Osborne, Iommi and company lit up the night with music.
What a way to bring it all to an end!
