Here we go for the final time!
Sharon Osbourne has announced that husband Ozzy and Black Sabbath will be reuniting for one last time, to play a fund-raising concert in Birmingham on July 5th. The heavy metal pioneers will headline a one-day festival at Villa Park, featuring dozens of bands they inspired, including Metallica, Pantera, Slayer, Gojira and Anthrax.
This will mark the first time that the band Black Sabbath’s original line-up — Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward — have played together in two decades! Osbourne had stopped touring due to a combination of health issues, but will play a short solo set before joining his bandmates.
Rock n roll never dies!
