Black Sabbath finally says goodbye to the stage on Saturday evening (July 5th) in her hometown Birmingham-with a final show that maintains fans on site and live stream viewers alike. After the secret Supergroup A surprised the audience with a massive insert, the line-up of Supergroup B was now unveiled-and that was all right. In honor of Black Sabbath, Steven Tyler and Ronnie Wood shared the stage with Travis Barker. And that wasn’t all.
The second supergroup also consisted of acts such as:
Billy Corgan (The Smashing Pumpkins)
Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine)
Adam Jones (tool)
KK Downing (Judas Priest)
Rudy Sarzo (Ozzy Osbourne, Quiet Riot)
Danny Carey (tool)
Together and alternately, they delivered a thundering homage to the Sabbath era of the 70s and 80s. A highlight was the drum-off between Travis Barker, Chad Smith and Danny Carey, which so far only existed in the fantasies of metal fans.

Also a special moment for Steven Tyler
At the beginning of the year, Steven Tyler was back on stage as part of his sixth annual Jam for Janie Grammy Awards Viewing Party. On the side of Nuno Bettencourt by Extreme Sang Tyler Cover songs from Extreme and Led Zeppelin and four Aerosmith classics. It was only Tyler’s second live appearance since a vocal cord injury in 2023, which at that time destroyed all Aerosmith tour plans, and the first time since the band announced its official withdrawal in August 2024.
