The 10-hour show, hosted by Jason Momoa, featured performances from Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Jack Black, Steven Tyler and more. 

At one point during the show, which was livestreamed in the U.K., legendary drummers including Tool's Danny Carey, Red Hot Chili Peppers' Chad Smith and Blink-182's Travis Barker battled with their drumsticks while playing a cover of Sabbath's "Symptom of the Universe." 

Fans were quick to share their thoughts on the final performance on social media. 

In February 2023, Osbourne announced the cancellation of his tour dates due to ongoing medical issues and various health scares.

"I am honestly humbled by the way you've all patiently held onto your tickets for all this time, but in all good conscience, I have now come to the realization that I'm not physically capable of doing my upcoming European/UK tour dates, as I know I couldn't deal with the travel required," Osbourne said in a statement posted to his social media accounts at the time. 

The former Black Sabbath vocalist admitted his "singing voice is fine," but he remains physically weak after three operations, stem cell treatments, physical therapy and Hybrid Assistive Limb treatment, which uses a robotic exoskeleton to help improve movement.

The heavy metal singer-songwriter has struggled with a number of physical ailments over the years. In 2003, he almost died in an ATV accident when his quad flipped onto him while he was riding around his London estate. He was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease within the same year.

On the Jan. 29 episode of his Sirius XM show, "Ozzy Speaks," with co-host Billy Morrison, Osbourne admitted he was having problems walking but remained positive.

Morrison added, "You have to take into account what you've done to yourself over the years."

Osbourne continued, "I may be moaning about how I can't walk, but I look down the road and there's people that didn't do half as much as me, and they didn't make it.

"There's so many friends and acquaintances that have gone."

However, he expressed gratitude, saying, "I'm not dead, still actively doing things."
