Black Sabbath at Villa Park review — moving reunion as Ozzy rocks out
Never mind those over-hyped Oasis gigs, there was only one truly historic rock comeback show over the weekend as Birmingham's Villa Park football stadium hosted Back to the Beginning, an all-star heavy rock gathering that reunited the full original line-up of the local heroes Black Sabbath for the first time in 20 years, and the last time ever. This sold-out, all-day charity benefit event was essentially the retirement party for the band's 76-year-old singer and international treasure Ozzy Osbourne, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2019, and now has limited mobility. It is no exaggeration to call Black Sabbath the Beatles of heavy metal, their hugely influential legacy reflected in the multigenerational cast list of superstar head-bangers who came to pay tribute at Villa Park, all working for free. Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Anthrax, Slayer, Alice in Chains and many others performed short sets of about 20 to 30 minutes, each including at least one Sabbath or Ozzy song. • The best concerts in London and the UK to book in 2025 Not every set was a killer, but credit is due to Lzzy Hale of Halestorm, the only woman on the bill, for rocking harder than most of her male peers. Metallica were also reliably propulsive, exhilarating and adrenalised. 'Thank you Black Sabbath,' growled James Hetfield, 'for giving us a purpose in life'. Between the main bands, a fluid supergroup featuring members of Judas Priest, Smashing Pumpkins, Red Hot Chili Peppers and more also played, joined by surprise guests including the Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood and the rising pop-rock star Yungblud, who brought high-energy swagger to his reworking of Sabbath's 1972 power ballad Changes. The Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello served as musical director for the whole event, and gave a few shredding performances himself, pairing up with Aerosmith's Steven Tyler for riotously funky versions of Walk This Way and Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love. The Villa Park video screens also aired fond video tributes to Ozzy and Sabbath from famous well-wishers, including Sir Elton John, Dolly Parton and Jack Black. Black Sabbath have survived multiple splits, temporary reunions and premature retirements over their six-decade career. They last played in Birmingham with two huge 'farewell' shows in 2017, but Back to the Beginning inevitably had a more concrete air of finality, given Ozzy's health issues. Even so, the singer seemed in pretty fine voice when he finally appeared on stage to huge cheers, performing two short sets from a black leather armchair adorned with skulls and bat wings. Even a fallen emperor needs a throne. Ozzy opened with five songs from his post-Sabbath solo career, including a gothically camp Mr Crowley and the rollicking audience sing-along Crazy Train. After a short break, he reappeared with his Sabbath co-founders: the guitarist Tony Iommi, the bass player Terence 'Geezer' Butler and the drummer Bill Ward. There was a palpable sense of hatchets being buried and rifts healed at Villa Park, with Ward back in the fold after his acrimonious exclusion from previous tours. Sabbath's four-song set was all too brief, but still a pleasing reminder that seminal classics such as Paranoid, War Pigs and Iron Man retain their potent fusion of jazz, blues, funk, proto-punk aggression and doomy occult imagery.

Oasis fans spot Liam Gallagher's heartwarming hidden tribute during Cardiff gigs
As Oasis took the stage for the first time in 16 years, Liam Gallagher gave a heartwarming tribute to his dog Buttons who he rescued from Thailand two years ago As Liam Gallagher reunited with his brother Noel Gallagher on the stage for the first time in 16 years, he gave a heartwarming tribute to his dog during their first gig back. As they took the stage in Cardiff to open their iconic reunion tour, an image of the dog named Buttons was included in the visuals on the big screen behind the brothers. Buttons has a wild life story of starting out homeless in Thailand to finding a home with one of the Oasis frontmen. Niall Harbison, who founded the Happy Doggo sanctuary in Thailand, explained the dog's wonderful story online, which triggered a huge response from fans. He explained that the dog Buttons was an abandoned puppy who walked into the sanctuary while it was being built and ended up getting adopted by none other than Liam Gallagher. Naill wrote on X, formally known as Twitter, 'Most people were probably looking at Liam Gallagher and Oasis on stage, Look a little closer and you'll spot a dog called Buttons. "Her's is a remarkable story. Buttons was a little puppy who walked into our sanctuary in Thailand in the middle of the jungle just as it was getting built. She had been abandoned. She kept coming back daily for food and hoping for company. 'Day after day Buttons came back. I eventually took her in and put her up for adoption. Little did I know but Liam and his partner Debbie had been following. After a long process she was adopted to them in the UK.' The sweet dog could be seen in multicolours on the big screen with a button on either side of its adorable face while the brothers performed to a huge crowd. Continuing the story, Naill added: 'Buttons has grown into a beloved member of the family and landed on her paws. Liam has been a big supporter of We Are Happy Doggo, and donated his globe from the last tour to raise funds.' 'I don't think Buttons realises her dad is a rock star. She just loves her humans. So if you are wondering why there is a dog on the Oasis screens now you know. Well done Buttons. I think you can say you've made it when your dad has you on the big screen.' One person wrote in response: "She is a gorgeous dog! What a wonderful story!", while another added: "Buttons is a rags-to-riches story, going from days of not knowing if a human would feed her, or kick her, to being queen of someone's heart. She even looks regal.' In addition, Oasis delivered a touching tribute to the late footballer Diogo Jota. The Gallagher brothers performed their 1994 classic Live Forever in memory of Jota, who tragically passed away at the age of 28, along with his younger brother, following a devastating car crash on July 3.
