Black Sabbath final show sparks backlash after 'scumbag' musician's appearance
Black Sabbath's farewell show was an emotional one for the band and fans alike but it has been tainted for some by one musician's inclusion. Various messages of thanks for the band were played on the screen throughout the gig, which saw the likes of Metallica and Slayer take the stage. One stood out for the wrong reasons for some fans as Marilyn Manson, 53, came on screen to speak about his love for Ozzy Osbourne and the band. 'It is a great honour to be here via this video, and I'd like to say congratulations, and I love you very much Ozzy,' he said in a pre-recorded message. Since 2021, there have been a slew of sexual abuse allegations levelled at Manson, real name Brian Warner. He has denied everything. 'Eurgh Marilyn Manson making an appearance on the sabbath stream,' wrote TrueBlueWhoDat on X. 'F**k that guy he's a piece of s**t.' 'ew marilyn manson go away,' added ThatMetalNessie as fanofwolvesetc said: 'Marilyn Manson on the black sabbath stream f**k off.' Ruemorgue blasted: 'Marilyn Manson speaking at the Black Sabbath farewell concert? Phil Anselmo performing? They really brought all the scumbags together.' Phil Anselmo, frontman for Pantera, previously shouted 'white power' while on stage in 2016 and did a Nazi salute, for which he later apologised. Manson's accusers include Evan Rachel Wood, who in February 2021 alleged he had abused her 'for years' while in a relationship. She became involved with him when she was 18 and he was 38 and said he 'essentially raped her' on camera while filming a music video. The Westworld star released her documentary Phoenix Rising in 2022, stating that the incident was 'traumatising' and that she 'did not feel safe'. 'I felt disgusting and like I had done something shameful, and I could tell that the crew was very uncomfortable and nobody knew what to do,' she alleged. 'I was coerced into a commercial sex act under false pretences. That's when the first crime was committed against me and I was essentially raped on camera.' His lawyer called it an 'imaginative retelling' of the making of the Heart-Shaped Glasses music video and denied the accusation. Manson's own defamation lawsuit against Wood was thrown out of court, with the Disposable Teens singer paying her almost $327,000 (£238,303) in attorney fees. Other women have also accused Manson of abuse, including Game of Thrones actress Esme Bianco who filed aginst him on allegations of rape and sexual battery. An out-of-court settlement was reportedly reached 'in order to move on with her life and career', according to her lawyer. Another 2021 lawsuit, in which his anonymous ex-girlfriend claimed he raped her and threatened to kill her, was settled a week before the trial was due to start. He has previously stated his relationships 'have always been entirely consensual', and called the accusations 'horrible distortions of reality'. While Manson continues to deny the allegations, the Beautiful People singer recently had his Brighton show cancelled after protests. More Trending Brighton Pavilion MP Sian Berry wrote an open letter to Brighton and Hove City Council last month, calling for the show to be axed. Co-signed by various groups, it read: 'Many survivors in Brighton and Hove, and organisations supporting them, will have serious concerns about this booking and its wider impact on other people visiting the city centre, local residents and the wider community.' His shows in Bournemouth, Cardiff, Nottingham, Manchester, and London are still planned to go ahead. Metro has reached out to Manson and Black Sabbath's teams for comment.

Hollywood heavyweight crashes Black Sabbath mosh pit at last ever gig
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Black Sabbath said farewell to their 58-year career in style with a surprising cameo from a Hollywood star in the crowd. Lead singer Ozzy Osbourne, 76, was overwhelmed with emotion as he took to the stage one last time at Villa Park in Birmingham. The Back to the Beginning show has been one of the hottest tickets this year, marking both the end and the first time the group had played together in 20 years. Ahead of Ozzy's entrance, metal icons like Metallica and Slayer took to the stage but it was another familiar face who captured fans attention. During Pantera's set, Jason Momoa burst from beside the stage and beelined straight for the growing mosh pit. The Game of Thrones star climbed over the barrier and got stuck in as he fist-bumped fans who wildly jumped around him. We're assuming Aquaman could hold his own but the camera didn't show him leaving the mosh pit at any point. Fan videos flooded social media, with Jason, 45, visible on the big screen before the camera panned back to the stage. Kornymoon on X posted: 'Jason Mamoa a real metalhead! Walked into the center of the pit to mosh with the crowd.' 'Imagine tearing it up in the pit to Tool, Metallica, and Black Sabbath…then you turn around and Aquaman is right there thrashing around and having the time of his life,' said goodbyefriend. Retin_Dim added: 'My apologies, Jason Momoa. I was not familiar with your game.' 'It was fun watching him crowd surf! 🤘,' shared buzzsawsmom as others branded it 'epic'.

Jason wasn't the only celeb catching the final Black Sabbath show, with music legends like Queen's Sir Brian May, Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, and Rolling Stones icon Ronnie Wood also at the venue. Black Sabbath's reunion gig was billed as the final ever show, after the deterioration of Ozzy's health over the past few years. The legend sat in a leather bat throne and delivered a short solo set before being joined by bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward. Before leaving the stage, having sung hits like Crazy Train, Suicide Solution, and War Pigs, an emotional Ozzy closed the show with Paranoid and said: 'It's the last song ever. 'Your support has enabled us to live an amazing lifestyle…thank you from the bottom of our hearts.' Afterwards, wife and manager of 40 years, Sharon Osbourne, confirmed she's finally 'done' after a lifetime in the music business. More Trending The music mogul has spent much of the past few decade looking after her husband who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease back in 2003, after suffering a near-fatal quad bike accident the same year. In 2019, Ozzy had a major fall in his LA home, which aggravated his quad bike injuries, dislodging metal rods in his back, neck and shoulders. 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.'

Gigs this week: Witnessing Coheed and Cambria is an otherworldly experience
The Nyack, New York quartet, fronted by chief songwriter Claudio Sanchez, have blazed a highly distinctive sonic trail into sci-fi meets fantasy territory — like a crazy but compulsive fusion of the worlds of Game of Thrones and Star Wars.
