Black Sabbath Original Lineup & Ozzy Osbourne to Reunite for Final Time Tonight
Rana Atef
On Saturday, legendary Heavy Metal Black Sabbath will reunite for one last time in a 10-hour concert.
Thousands of metal fans will head to Birmingham's Villa Park on Saturday to see the original Black Sabbath lineup reunite for the first time in 20 years, in what has been billed as the 'greatest heavy metal show ever'.
Osbourne is well known fan for the club, and this stadium played a vital role in his childhood.
'It's my final encore; it's my chance to say thank you to my fans for always supporting me and being there for me,' Osbourne said this week.
'I couldn't have done my final show anywhere else. I had to go back to the beginning.'
Black Sabbath transformed late-60s rock into something darker, and heavier.
Their music was characterised by down-tuned, distorted guitar riffs and haunting vocals and lyrics about war, madness and the occult.
The band's self-titled debut album in 1970 is often cited as the moment heavy metal was born, and they have sold a reported 75m albums worldwide.
'Sabbath gave us the blueprint, Sabbath gave us the recipe. They gave us the cookbook, man,' Slipknot's Corey Taylor said in BBC Radio WM's Forging Metal documentary, which was released on Friday.
The concert will feature performances from a multitude of great metal bands, including Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Gojira, Halestorm, and members of Guns N' Roses and Rage Against the Machine.
Profits will be shared between three charities: Cure Parkinson's, Birmingham children's hospital and the Birmingham-based Acorns children's hospice.
