We review the current basic picture of the evolution of massive stars and how their evolution and structure changes as a function of initial mass. We give an overview of the fate of modern (Pop I) and primordial (Pop III) stars with emphasis on massive and very massive stars. For single stars we show how the type of explosions, the type of remnant and their frequencies changes for different initial metallicities.
