Black Sabbath's Ozzy Osbourne returns to his hometown of Birmingham for a farewell concert featuring a reunion of the original band lineup, alongside heavy metal icons Metallica, Slayer, Pantera and more. The event, titled 'Back to the Beginning', promises to be the 'greatest heavy metal show ever'
Metallica, Slayer and Pantera join line-up for farewell to heavy metal star in Birmingham in JulyHaving been the original voice of heavy metal , survived multiple bouts of ill health and relieved various bats and doves of their heads,Titled Back to the Beginning, the charity gig will be held at Villa Park on July 5th, with tickets on sale from 10am on 14 February 14th.
Osbourne left for a solo career in 1979, and various other vocalists stepped in thereafter, including Rainbow’s Ronnie James Dio, Deep Purple’s Ian Gillan, and Tony Martin, before Osbourne was brought back into the fold in 1997. Black Sabbath later announced an emphatic end to their career, playing a final tour entitled The End, which concluded in Birmingham in February 2017. This time, Tommy Clufetos played drums. But Osbourne said there was friction between himself and the other original members: “I spent nine or 10 years in Sabbath, but I’d been away from them for over 30 years. With them, I’m just a singer. With me, I get to do what I want to do. I was getting bad vibes from them for being Ozzy.
The concert will feature a short solo set from Osbourne before he joins with Black Sabbath. Other supporting bands are Gojira, Halestorm, Alice in Chains, Lamb of God, Anthrax and Mastodon, while there will be special appearances from Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan, Disturbed frontman David Draiman, Duff McKagan and Slash of Guns N‘ Roses, Frank Bello and Scott Ian of Anthrax, Limp Bizkit’s Fred Durst, Korn’s Jonathan Davis and numerous others.
