The highly anticipated final performance of Black Sabbath will be available for fans worldwide to enjoy through a live stream, allowing them to experience this historic event from the comfort of their homes.
Set to take place on July 5 in Birmingham, England, the Back to the Beginning concert will showcase the iconic original lineup of the band: Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward. This marks their first performance together since 2005, making it a momentous occasion for rock enthusiasts.
While Osbourne, Iommi, and Butler have embarked on several tours without Ward, including the 2016-2017 The End tour, this upcoming show is particularly significant as it has been labeled as Osbourne’s final live performance. In recent years, he has faced various health challenges, including a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease in 2020, which has impacted his ability to perform.
Joining them on stage will be an array of heavyweights in the rock and metal scene, including Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Slayer, Pantera, Gojira, Halestorm, Alice in Chains, Lamb of God, Anthrax, Mastodon, Sammy Hagar, and many others. This stellar lineup promises an unforgettable celebration of music.
The show is designed as a tribute, featuring opening acts that will perform both covers of classic Sabbath and Osbourne songs alongside their original tracks. For example, Hagar has expressed his intention to perform “Flying High Again,” a track from the 1981 album Diary of a Madman. Due to his health constraints, Osbourne is expected to participate in a limited but meaningful capacity during the event.
