I'm actually surprised he didn't retire before this. From Variety we get the news from his last performance on Saturday. Black Sabbath Reunites for Ozzy Osbourne’s Final Performance, Joined by Metallica, GNR, Steven Tyler and Other Hard Rock All-Stars: The Complete Setlists
Slayer, Tool, Pantera, Gojira, Alice in Chains, Billy Corgan, Ronnie Wood, Travis Barker, Tom Morello and Sammy Hagar were among the many support acts or guests through the long day in Birmingham.
That qualifies as a super concert. I wonder if a film of it will be released.
The original lineup of Black Sabbath reunited for the first time in 20 years on Saturday in the U.K. — and for the last time ever, since the performance was also billed as the final concert ever for singer Ozzy Osbourne. The Birmingham stadium show climaxed with a four-song Sabbath set, preceded by Osbourne doing a five-song set of his solo material … preceded in turn by a full day’s worth of metal and hard-rock all-stars doing mini-sets that included Sabbath covers as well as original material.
Four songs is a lot for guys this old. Tony Iommi, the guitarist, is 77. Ozzy Osbourne is 76. Bill Ward is 77. Geezer Butler is 75. And Ozzy did twice that many.

This is one of the songs that Black Sabbath performed, "Iron Man." It was originally on their 1970 album Paranoid. "Iron Man" was released as a single from the album in 1971. This is the remastered version from 2012.
