Black Sabbath final show sparks backlash after 'scumbag' musician's appearance

Black Sabbath final show sparks backlash after 'scumbag' musician's appearance

Metro12 hours ago
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.

Ozzy Osbourne was taken totally by surprise when daughter Kelly got engaged

Sharon Osbourne has opened up about husband Ozzy's 'surprise' when daughter Kelly got engaged backstage at his last gig. On Saturday night, the Crazy Train rocker performed for the final time to over 40,000 fans in Birmingham's Villa Park, accompanied by his Black Sabbath bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward. The rowdy crowd screamed, danced, and showered Ozzy with adoration, giving him a legend's send-off following his years of health struggles. But Ozzy's last performance wasn't the only reason for emotions running high over the weekend, as Kelly's boyfriend, Sid Wilson, decided to get down on one knee. The Slipknot rocker, 48, who confirmed his romance with Kelly in 2022, popped the question in the presence of Sharon and Ozzy, with Mrs. O now spilling further details on the special moment. Speaking to TMZ, the former X Factor judge shared that Sid, who has actually known Kelly since the late 90s, asked for her permission to propose three to four months ago. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video He told Sharon that he was going ahead with the grand gesture at Ozzy's final gig—but kept the music legend in the dark until the last moment. Sharon added that she and Ozzy are 'over the moon' for their daughter, with a huge romantic celebration planned for them in a couple of weeks, ensuring Ozzy has time to recuperate after his gig first. The famous family decided against a raucous night on the town after the concert itself, given that the singer, who revealed his Parkinson's diagnosis in 2020, had already had a long day. Sharon is also keen for Kelly to expand their family further once she's a married woman, declaring that she wants 'a lot more babies' from her and Sid, who welcomed son Sidney in late 2022. And it's probably not something she even needs to ask for, as Kelly herself has already made it clear that she 'definitely' wants to have 'more babies' with her husband-to-be. In the video of Sid's proposal that Kelly shared on Instagram, the shock was clear on her face when he pulled out the ring. 'Kelly, you know I love you more than anything,' he began in his speech. 'Nothing would make me happier than to spend the rest of my life with you.' 'So, in front of your family and all of our friends, Kelly, will you marry me?', he asked her. As Sid gave his future father-in-law a closer look at the dazzling ring, Sharon applauded. It later emerged that the engagement ring had a deeper story behind it, with luxury jeweller Mouawad telling Metro that Sid wanted the accessory to have a connection to Kelly's late friend, Joan Rivers. 'So I have a nickname for Kelly, and it's 'Honeybee', and coincidentally, a friend of hers, Joan Rivers, used to call her this,' he revealed. 'It was a nickname [Rivers] had for her. I didn't know this. It's like an amazing coincidence; it's like whoa, like, meant to be.' After Rivers died in 2014, Kelly got a bee tattoo in her honour to 'always buzz around' her. And now, her 18K yellow gold ring also has a beehive-inspired structure, featuring a variation of diamonds. Upon first seeing the ring in all its glory, Sid said it was 'more than perfect'. Kelly previously admitted that she wasn't super fussed about getting married, insisting it 'wasn't important' to her. 'I found my guy. We don't need the certificate,' she told Us Weekly last year. However, since Sid has always been keen on becoming husband and wife, she's more than happy to exchange vows. And she'll be doing so in the presence of her mum and dad, who recently moved back to the UK after several years in the States. Speaking on Instagram at the weekend to express her pride for her father after his show, Kelly hailed Black Sabbath's Back to the Beginning concert as one of the 'most magical experiences' of her life. She said in a video shared to her Instagram Story: 'I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you. More Trending 'Thank you to everyone who came to the show last night, [and] thank you to everybody who was involved in the show last night. You have no idea what it did for my dad. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video 'It was one of the most magical experiences of my entire life, and if I keep talking, I'm probably going to end up crying again. So, that's all I'll say for now. Thank you.' While on stage, Ozzy, who performed sitting on a throne due to his mobility issues, said similar. He told the crowd: 'I don't know what to say, man. I've been laid up for, like, six years. You have no idea how I feel—thank you from the bottom of my heart.' Got a story?
