Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan has described Black Sabbath's final concert as "beautiful and bittersweet," sharing an emotional tribute to the heavy metal legends following their last-ever performance in Birmingham.

The epic 'Back to the Beginning' send-off was held at Villa Park in Birmingham, England, and streamed live globally.

Boozers were decked with purple balloons and flags; murals were everywhere you looked; people donned Ozzy outfits, flooding the streets with battered T-shirts and denim jackets. It felt like a World Cup final for the metal fans who flooded in from every corner of the planet .
