Hollywood heavyweight crashes Black Sabbath mosh pit at last ever gig
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.'

Pete Hegseth suffers 'disastrous' drone video mishap as Congress awaits his downfall
A promotional video showing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth touting U.S. drone capabilities was deleted and reposted after a major rock band complained about the Pentagon using their music. The clip showed Hegseth, 45, standing in front of the Pentagon as military operators piloted drones that whirred by. The video posted to the defense secretary's account, captioned 'Unleashing U.S. Military Drone Dominance', originally had Metallica's 'Enter Sandman' blaring as background music. However, Hegseth and the Pentagon embarrassingly had to scrub the music from the promotional video after copyright issues were brought to their attention. 'This afternoon, representatives from X reached out to DoD regarding a video posted to our social media page and asked that the video be removed due to a copyright issue with the song 'Enter Sandman' by Metallica,' the Pentagon said in a statement on Friday. 'The video has been taken down, corrected, and re-uploaded to our page.' A representative for the band later confirmed to Rolling Stone that the song was used without authorization. Former Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger ripped Hegseth for the post: 'I still can't believe you approved this video.' The video originally featured 'Enter Sandman' by Metallica, but the Pentagon later deleted the video and reposted it without the music after X flagged the clip for copyright issues The latest mishap comes on the heels of the Daily Mail learning that some lawmakers in Congress are eagerly awaiting the former Fox News host-turned-Pentagon chief's downfall. Their concerns over the Pentagon secretary came after he reportedly paused aide to Ukraine earlier this month - a move that caught President Trump by surprise. 'There are a lot of people who are sharpening knives,' a Republican senator warned. 'There are a lot of people who would be delighted to see him go,' they added. 'A lot of people.' The since-deleted-and-reposted video also showed a drone delivering a paper memo to Hegseth. Specifically, the memo fast-tracks the military's production and use of drones. 'The Department's bureaucratic gloves are coming off,' Hegseth wrote in one of the memos. 'Lethality will not be hindered by self-imposed restrictions... Our major risk is risk-avoidance.' Hegseth acknowledged that America's adversaries - namely Russia and China - have a 'head start' on the use of unmanned aircraft systems. Drones have been an increasingly important piece of military hardware in recent years, evidenced by the Ukraine-Russia war as well as recent attacks involving Israel and Iran. Cheap drones available to civilians have been used as surveillance tools and weapon-dropping vehicles in Ukraine. Iran, meanwhile, has been producing drones for its skirmishes against Israel. Often, the cheap, autonomous vehicles have to be shot down by expensive munitions, posing an asymmetric challenge for U.S. forces. The Pentagon's new memos will look to lower per-unit costs of American-made drones that can be used to cheaply and effectively disable incoming drones and autonomous weapons.

I'm the tennis-mad fan who proposed on Henman Hill at Wimbledon
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video A loved up couple shared a special moment at Wimbledon last night after a plumber got down on one knee to the love of his life. Darren Barsdell, 44, from Lake, Isle of Wight, declared his love for EmilyAdams, 33, on Henman Hill after being together for six years. The pair first met at a mutual friend's wedding, where they sat next to each other and have not looked back ever since. Fans whooped and cheered after Emily said the all-important yes and got excited about her big day ahead. The business owner and former model told Metro: 'It was just a whirlwind of emotion and a bit of a blur when it all happened. I had no idea what was going on. 'It was all so much, it took me a moment to register what had happened and I felt completely overwhelmed with us being cheered on. 'I was gobsmacked if I'm being honest but it was such a lovely event and surprise. 'It was just incredible, I couldn't have asked for a better day.' Darren said he knew it was the right moment to propose and wanted to make it 'spectacular'. He told Emily that he was going to the toilet during the men's final match between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. But he had popped out and talked to a cameraman on the hill who was happy to film the moment later unfold. To celebrate the good news the couple shared a glass of Pimms and cracked open the champagne. Darren told Metro: 'I'm absolutely thrilled that she said yes. There was a lot of preparation, a lot of nervousness, a lot of excitement but on the day I couldn't have asked for anything more. 'There were people all around congratulating us about the news. 'It was all so fun and we got loads of free champagne from others as well. We felt like B-list celebrities. 'What's more, the sun was shining and it was one of the hottest weekends of the year. 'After the proposal, we headed into Wimbledon Village with the people who had given us the champagne. 'The experience was just unbelievable.' While Emily isn't a massive sports fan, Darren's favourite tennis player is Andre Agassi and his favourite tennis couple is Agassi and Steffi Graf. In an iconic Wimbledon moment in 1996 during the women's singles semi-final match Steffi Graf answered a marriage proposal from the crowd. A spectator shouted: 'Steffi, will you marry me?' from the stands, to which she responded: 'How much money do you have?' While Darren has been to Wimbledon before, it was Emily's first time and she enjoyed soaking up the atmosphere during the men's final. More Trending After a fun-filled weekend, the couple are back off to the Isle of Wight this evening, ready to start planning for the big day. It's not the first time love was in the air at Wimbledon. Last year Gabriele Pamboni proposed to his partner Annalisa Leoni on centre court. Gabriele reached out his hand to get Annalisa's attention, and the couple laughed before sealing the deal with a kiss.
