Metallica played a special tribute to Black Sabbath on Sunday (July 5th), which marked the first anniversary of the legendary band's final performance at Ozzy Osbourne's farewell show, Back To The Beginning, in his native Birmingham, England.

On Sunday night Robert Trujillo introduced the tribute by telling the audience, "A year ago today was a very important event. Back to the Beginning, Black Sabbath and so many other people. Someone just gave me this right now and it's pretty powerful." He then held up a sign and said, "It says, 'Do It For Ozzy.'

"So we've got a little bit of a mashup here. Oh yeah. Ozzy, we love you and we miss you brother. So let's do this. Let's figure it out. It's a mashup of our two favorite bands and you're gonna get it in a minute."
