Black Sabbath made their live return to the UK in Birmingham this Saturday, performing a set of their greatest hits in their hometown.

The newly reformed band took to the stage at the Birmingham Academy to loud cheers for guitarist Tony Iommi, who is battling cancer.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you Birmingham. Best fans ever- you brought out the best in us. It was a privilege playing for you tonight. Tony was a hero - you were the best medicine he has had. Proud to be a Brummie." the band later posted on their official website.

Drummer Tommy Clufetos filled in for the absent Bill Ward who last week claimed that a contract dispute was standing in the way of him returning to the band.

Check out two photos from the Black Sabbath Birmingham show below, now.
