The 2025 event also included performances by Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Tool, Slayer and Pantera.

During its London stop on the M72 World Tour, Metallica met with Sharon Osbourne and Ozzy and Sharon's daughter, Kelly Osbourne. The band shared photos from the backstage reunion on Instagram.

"One year after 'Back to the Beginning,' we were thrilled to see some familiar faces for #M72London," the band wrote. "We miss you, Ozzy!"

Metallica also honored Ozzy during the concert with a performance of Black Sabbath's "Electric Funeral" during bassist Robert Trujillo and guitarist Kirk Hammett's "Doodle" segment.
