ROCK legend Ozzy Osbourne wowed fans with a surprise hometown performance at the Commonwealth Games closing ceremony.
The Black Sabbath frontman, 73, took to the stage to perform 1970 hit “Paranoid” during the ceremony’s finale.
He has not performed for over five years due to ill health but looked revitalised two months after wife Sharon Osbourne revealed his recent “life-altering” neck and back surgery.
As he rose through the stage the ‘Prince of Darkness’ shouted: “I love you, Birmingham – it’s good to be back!”
Other stand-out performances came from Jorja Smith, Dexys Midnight Runners and Mahalia.
Without original member and lead vocalist Ali Campbell, his brother’s version of UB40 played a rendition of Red Red Wine to the amped up audience.
Prince Edward, the Earl of Wessex, was seen in the crowd along with other Royals who appeared to be enjoying the showcase.
