Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi said he thinks bandmate Ozzy Osbourne was "determined" to play the group's farewell show and "really just held out" to do so weeks before his death.

Ozzy Osbourne has been remembered as a “pioneer,” a “fearless talent” and a “dear friend,” in an outpouring of tributes from fellow musicians and his former Black Sabbath bandmates following his death on Tuesday at the age of 76.
