"Now the band is both here and not here; with us, and yet gone," the Smashing Pumpkins frontman wrote on Instagram

Black Sabbath ’s classic lineup — Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward — staged a triumphant hometown reunion at Saturday's Back to the Beginning concert, delivering a four-song setlist that marked their first performance together in two decades.

Osbourne formed Black Sabbath in 1968 in Birmingham, a city then known for its heavy industry that became the crucible of the British metal scene.
