Prior to joining Black Sabbath for the final time, Osbourne played a 5-song set of his own while highlighting some of the most famous songs in his solo catalog.
The rocker arrived to huge applause via a lift through the floor at center stage before playing a set that featured four tracks from his 1980 debut, “Blizzard Of Ozz” – “I Don’t Know”, “Mr. Crowley”, “Suicide Solution”, and the iconic “Crazy Train” – as well as his 1991 hit, “Mama, I’m Coming Home.”
The rocker launched his solo career with “Blizzard of Ozz” after being fired by Black Sabbath in the spring of 1979; introduced with the lead single, “Crazy Train”, the project featured ex-Quiet Riot guitarist Randy Rhoads, lyricist and former Rainbow bassist Bob Daisley, former Uriah Heep drummer Lee Kerslake, and session player and Rainbow keyboardist Don Airey.
Osbourne was joined by guitarist Zakk Wylde, bassist Mike Inez, keyboardist Adam Wakeman and drummer Tommy Clufetos for the farewell performance.
With reported catalog sales of more than 100 million copies, Osbourne has been inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame with Black Sabbath (in 2006) and as a solo artist (in 2024).
