Black Sabbath's Final Show: A Farewell to a Legendary Era

Original Lineup to Perform for the First Time in 20 Years

Black Sabbath is set to reunite for one last time in their hometown of Birmingham, UK, on July 5. The event, called "Back To The Beginning," will feature the original lineup of Tony Iommi, Ozzy Osbourne, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward, who haven't performed together in 20 years. Ozzy, who has been battling Parkinson's disease, will sing four songs, marking his final performance.

A Significant Moment for the Band and Fans

The show is not just a concert but a significant moment for the band and their fans. It's a chance for the original members to reunite and for Ozzy to say goodbye to his fans. The event is expected to draw over 40,000 attendees and will also feature performances from other heavy metal bands like Metallica, Slayer, and Anthrax. All profits from the show will go to charity, supporting causes like Cure Parkinson's and Birmingham Children's Hospital.

Tony Iommi Shares His Nerves

Tony Iommi, the guitarist, has expressed his nerves about the performance, stating that it's different from anything they've done before. He mentioned that Ozzy's health is a concern, but he's still singing well. The band is approaching this show with a mix of excitement and fear, hoping to leave a great impression on their fans.

Ozzy's Emotional Journey

Ozzy's wife, Sharon, has shared that Ozzy is emotional about the event and happy to be performing. Despite his health issues, his singing voice remains strong. The show will also feature a supergroup of musicians, including Slash and Duff McKagan from Guns N' Roses, performing Sabbath and Ozzy songs.

A BitterSweet Farewell

The original lineup of Black Sabbath last performed in 2005. Since then, they have had partial reunions but never in their original lineup. This final show is a chance for them to reunite and say goodbye to their fans. It's a bittersweet moment, but one that is sure to be memorable for all involved.
