Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne will reunite with his original bandmates this summer for his final live performance.

Black Sabbath fans have been left fuming after tickets for the band's final ever show sold out in just 16 minutes, with some branding those who managed to get tickets 'fake fans'.

“The all-star event will celebrate the true creators of heavy metal and will see @OzzyOsbourne play his own short set before joining with Black Sabbath for his final bow,” read the announcement, shared on Osbourne’s X account.

Excitement for Black Sabbath's reunion gig is spreading after tickets went on general sale. Fans who managed to secure tickets in the scramble were celebrating on Friday, while those less fortunate tried not to feel too "paranoid".
