Black Sabbath’s Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi Reunite

Black Sabbath legends Ozzy Osbourne and Tony Iommi surprised fans at the Commonwealth Games in their hometown of Birmingham, England, with a performance of “Paranoid” at the closing ceremony for the athletic competition on Monday night (August 8th).⁠

After teasing the intro to “Iron Man” with Osbourne bellowing “I am Iron Man” backstage, the group performed “Paranoid” to close the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games! A world away from the States, but a sight to see…

⁠The performance was momentous for a multitude of reasons, including it being the first time the metal icons played together onstage since Black Sabbath played their final show ever in February 2017. Not to mention, it marked Ozzy’s first live performance in nearly three years, and first since undergoing a major neck operation earlier this summer.⁠
