Metallica Plays a Tribute to Ozzy One Year After His Final Show

Metallica concluded their three-year long M72 world tour with a show at the 80,000 seat London Stadium that included a special tribute to Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath.

Metallica's show took place exactly one year after Metallica helped pay tribute to Osbourne by performing at the "Crazy Train" singer's Back to the Beginning farewell concert. Osbourne died just 17 days after the show.

Lead guitarist Kirk Hammett and bassist Robert Trujillo performed a portion of Black Sabbath's "Electric Funeral" (in a mash-up with the Sex Pistols' during their nightly two-man "doodle" section of the show.

"A year ago today, there was a very important event. Back to the Beginning, Black Sabbath and so many other incredible people," Trujillo noted before the performance, before holding up a handmade sign. "Somebody just gave me this right now, and it's pretty powerful. It says 'Do it for Ozzy' ....Ozzy we love you and we miss you brother."

The rest of Metallica's 16-song set kicked off with "Whiplash" and concluded with the powerful one-two punch of "One" and "Enter Sandman." You can see the full set list and fan-shot video from the show below.
