It’s just about a week until Ozzy Osbourne takes the stage for the last time, and the festivities are already beginning. Ozzy Osbourne is currently in Birmingham, and joined by the rest of the founding members of Black Sabbath: Geezer Butler, Tommy Iommi, and Bill Ward.
The band was recently photographed visiting the mural, which ended up on Instagram.
Osbourne’s presence is due to the last Black Sabbath show, Back To The Beginning, which will be held on July 5th. Accompanying the legendary metal act will be:
Bands: Alice In Chains, Anthrax, Gojira, Guns N’ Roses, Halestorm, Lamb of God, Mastodon, Metallica, Pantera, Rival Sons, Slayer, Sleep Token, Soundgarden, and Tool
Solo Artists: Andrew Watt, Billy Corgan, Chad Smith, David Ellefson, David Draiman, Fred Durst, Lzzy Hale Jake E. Lee, Jonathan Davis, K. K. Downing, Mike Bordin, Papa V Perpetua, Rudy Sarzo, Sammy Hagar, Steven Tyler, Vernon Reid, Whitfield Crane, and Tom Morello.
Wolfgang Van Halen recently announced that he would no longer be able to perform at Back To The Beginning.
Back To The Beginning will be livestreamed as well. It will not be free however, and tickets for the livestream can be purchased here.
Despite the cost, it’s important to note that donations will be made out of the proceeds to three charities – Aston Villa’s Acorn Children’s Hospital, Birmingham Children’s Hospital, and Cure Parkinson’s.
