STORYLINE:
Ozzy Osbourne is to reunite with all his original Black Sabbath bandmates for what is being billed as his final performance.

The "Back To The Beginning" show on July 5 will see the 76-year-old singer deliver his own short set before Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward play together for the first time in 20 years.

The all-day event at Villa Park in Birmingham, the city where the heavy rock pioneers formed in 1968, will also feature sets by a host of major metal bands including Metallica, Slayer and Alice In Chains.

“It’s my time to go back to the beginning… time for me to give back to the place where I was born,” Osbourne said. “How blessed am I to do it with the help of people whom I love. Birmingham is the true home of metal. Birmingham forever.”

The band played its “last” gig in 2017 in Birmingham with Osborne, guitarist Iommi and bassist Butler but without Ward on drums.

Osbourne’s wife Sharon and Iommi announced the news on Wednesday at Villa Park, the home of Aston Villa FC, of whom the Sabbath frontman has been a fan of for many years.

The show in July will also see performances by Pantera, Gojira, Halestorm, Lamb Of God, Anthrax and Mastodon.
