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.'

Sitar Maestro Rishab Sharma Launches New Track Celebrating Spirit Of Varanasi
Last Updated: Rishab Rikhiram Sharma released his latest instrumental track, The Burning Ghat, which has a genre-defying approach to music. Rishab Rikhiram Sharma, who is constantly captivating audiences worldwide with his soulful music, recently unveiled his latest instrumental track, The Burning Ghat. The sitarist, known for his viral renditions of Game of Thrones and Harry Potter themes to reimaginations of Bollywood melodies like Zara Zara, continues to inspire individuals with his neo-classical music. Additionally, the composer also champions mental health awareness through his genre-defying approach to music, pushing creative boundaries through a contemporary lens. On Instagram, Rishab Rikhiram Sharma shared a video to launch his latest instrumental track, The Burning Ghat, which is an ode to the spiritual banks of Varanasi and the eternal flame of Manikarnika Ghat. The evocative soundscape in the track blends traditional Indian instruments with electronic synths. The composition is inspired by his journey to Burning Man in the US, a week-long large-scale desert event focused on 'community, art, self-expression, and self-reliance". The video's shot was captured at the holy sites of India by cinematographer, Vishal Anand, whereas the clip was beautifully edited by Pralay Valanju." Alongside the video, he penned a heartfelt note revealing his deep, personal connection with the track. 'From Burning Man to The Burning Ghat. Channelling my journey through sound waves — from the cathartic flames of Burning Man to the sacred ghats of Varanasi. 'The Burning Ghat' is my heartfelt tribute to the eternal fire of Manikarnika Ghat, where life ends and Moksh begins," read an excerpt from his caption. He continued, 'I believe this sound is the true sound of New India — where tradition meets technology. Honing the teachings of my Guru, Ravi Shankar, and transforming them into music using today's tools was an out-of-body experience. This is my most personal, and perhaps my best work yet." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Rishab Rikhiram Sharma (@rishabsmusic) The video instantly garnered immense praise from many A-listers and his fans around the world. One of his ardent admirers mentioned, 'This isn't just music; it's ritual, fire, and philosophy distilled into sound. 'The Burning Ghat' bridges myth, memory, and modernity. Rishab, you've carved something timeless here." Another person wrote, 'The way you feel when you hear him, it's something so pure!" Someone said, 'The music is so lit even Shiva would listen to it." Tamannaah Bhatia shared the video on her Instagram stories and dropped a series of smiling faces with Halo emojis, conveying a sense of feeling blessed with his soulful music. Shikhar Pahariya wrote, 'Too good bhai," followed by a red heart emoji. Check out the full video here – A New York-based sitarist, composer, and mental health advocate, Rishab was born into the renowned Rikhi Ram family. His journey began at the age of 10, under the guidance of his father, Sanjay Rikhi Ram Sharma, a master luthier by profession. Afterwards, he went on to become the last disciple of the legendary Pandit Ravi Shankar and dedicated himself to blending Indian classical music with modern twists. His latest track, The Burning Ghat, was unveiled five months after the thunderous Tandavam. He is also known for his emotional and original compositions, such as Chanakya, Shankara and many others.
