The show included performances from Guns N’ Roses, Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Smashing Pumpkins’ Billy Corgan, and Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler, among others, but fans acquired emotional when Sabbath carried out some of their largest hits.

On prime of navigating the efficiency with new mobility challenges as his Parkinson’s illness worsens, and watching as his daughter Kelly Osbourne acquired engaged to Slipknot’s Sid Wilson, Ozzy also acquired the possibility to meet some heavy steel and laborious rock giants he had a half in inspiring.

One of the fellow rock stars the Prince of Darkness acquired to meet for the first time was Guns N’ Roses’ frontman, Axl Rose.

Two days after the epic live performance, Ozzy posted a image of him assembly and shaking arms with Rose backstage.

He revealed it was the first time the icons had met, writing, “My first time meeting Axl Rose, at my age you don’t get to meet many legends, seriously an utter gentleman.”

However, fans in the feedback part have been shocked that it was their first assembly, with one particular person asking AI Grok, ” @grok is that true? Ozzy first time meeting Axl Rose?”

The AI replied, “Yes, it’s true. Both Ozzy and Axl Rose confirmed this was their first meeting at Black Sabbath’s ‘Back to the Beginning’ farewell concert on July 5, 2025. Axl posted: ‘MET OZZY!! (Crazy we’d never met b4!!)’ Sources like Stereogum and Loudwire corroborate it. Rock legends crossing paths at last!”

Another fan added, “Shocked that you two never met before,” as a third expressed, “First time? That’s wild to me.”

A fourth shocked fan stated, “How is this even possible? Didn’t you guys even run into each other at Ralph’s. Doesn’t everyone in LA shop there.”

A fifth questioned, “How is that possible when you have both lived 40 – 50 minutes away from each other for the past twenty years???”

One shocked fan commented, “Seriously after all, these decades, the first time meeting him? I would’ve thought you guys would’ve at least hung out sometime during the 90s.”

Yet one other stated, “Nearly 40 years on the scene together and you never met! Wow.”

Meanwhile, some fans in the viewers and watching the livestream have been uncomfortable with Ozzy’s efficiency amid his ongoing health struggles. He was wheeled out to the stage on a throne and was visibly shaky while singing some of his and Black Sabbath’s largest hits.

As Ozzy delivered his last show, fans acknowledged it as the top of an period. One fan, who traveled from London but is initially from Saudi Arabia, expressed combined emotions, “I’m conflicted. He’s obviously enjoying himself but it’s sad to see him in this physical state. It feels like an end of an era.”

On X, one fan shared, “Feel a bit sorry for Ozzy being wheeled out like that. He clearly isn’t fit and well.”

Another echoed comparable sentiments, “I feel bad for Ozzy. Yeah it’s his last ever live show but it’s kinda gross how a visibly unwell man is being wheeled out like this by Sharon.”

A 3rd tweeted, “Very sad, Ozzy in a goth wheel chair.” Yet, some fans appreciated the efficiency.

“As much as I am against this final Ozzy Osbourne/Black Sabbath show, the videos I’ve seen on Twitter and Youtube, Ozzy sounds a lot better than I expected,” one fan praised online.
