Ozzy Osbourne Meets Axl Rose for the First Time at Black Sabbath Farewell Concert

Liputan6.com, Jakarta An interesting incident occurred backstage during Black Sabbath's farewell concert held at Villa Park, Birmingham, last weekend.

Ozzy Osbourne, the Black Sabbath vocalist who inspired many singers and musicians after him, looked happy when he first met Guns N' Roses vocalist Axl Rose.

Through a post on his Instagram account, the singer, nicknamed the Prince of Darkness, was seen sitting in a chair while greeting his junior.

"My first meeting with Axl Rose," Osbourne wrote, quoting the upload caption, Wednesday, July 9.

While joking, Osbourne called his first meeting with Rose something special, considering that both of them have been in the heavy metal music scene for more than 40 years.

"At my age, it's rare to meet a legend. Seriously, he's a real man," Osbourne said.

In another post, the legend also shared a photo of himself flanked by Axl Rose and Slash, calling the collaboration "Guns N Darkness".

In the show, Ozzy Osbourne performed in two sessions. As a soloist, he performed five songs, namely "I Don't Know", "Mr. Crowley", "Suicide Solution", "Mama, I'm Coming Home", and "Crazy Train".

While performing with early Black Sabbath personnel-Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward-Osbourne performed "War Pigs", "N.I.B.", "Iron Man", and "Paranoid".

The historic concert also featured many great musicians, including The Rolling Stones, Metallica, Rage Against the Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Blink-182, Pantera, Extreme, and many more.
