Watch Footage of Black Sabbath’s Final Show

Black Sabbath’s “The End” tour was dramatically announced last year as the genre-defining UK metal act’s last hurrah, due to guitarist Tony Iommi’s increasingly limited ability to travel following his cancer diagnosis in 2012. in  After raging for over a year straight, the tour concluded in a blaze of CGI-fire-projections glory last night, with a two-hour show in Sabbath’s home city of Birmingham. Ozzy’s last words? A simple, “Thank you, goodnight, thank you so much.”

The band streamed the final song–the indelible “Paranoid”– via the Black Sabbath Facebook page. Here’s that footage:
