Steven Tyler has posted an adorable photo where he kisses Sharon Osbourne. Steven Tyler made a surprise appearance at Ozzy Osbourne’s final show with Black Sabbath on July 5, 2025, at Villa Park in Birmingham. Despite Aerosmith canceling their farewell tour in 2024 due to Tyler’s vocal injury, he returned to the stage for a short but powerful performance.
Tyler performed three songs alongside a rotating lineup of rock legends including Ronnie Wood, Tom Morello, Nuno Bettencourt, and Chad Smith. The songs were not officially announced in advance, and his inclusion was unbilled, creating a major buzz during the show.
Fan reactions online praised Tyler’s vocals, saying he sounded as strong as ever, with many pointing out the significance of his return to live performance after more than a year of absence. His appearance sparked new speculation about a possible Aerosmith reunion or future live appearances.
The night was part of Ozzy’s farewell event “Back to the Beginning,” which included guest appearances from James Hetfield, Axl Rose, Robert Trujillo, and Slash. Tyler’s segment was considered a highlight by many in attendance, as it bridged generations of rock in a night honoring heavy metal’s legacy.
Tyler did not address the crowd with any major statement, but his confident presence and vocal power sent a clear message: he’s not done yet.
