Featured pricing is subject to change. Rock and roll's number one rule breaker is back in the saddle. Tom Morello announced he's touring arts centers, theaters, music halls, plaza rock clubs and casinos all over North America this fall as part of his 'Tom Morello & Friends Electric Full Band Show Tour.' While out and about, the Rage Against The Machine guitarist is slated to headline a trio of New York and New Jersey gigs. Up first, the 61-year-old NYC native hits Brooklyn's Warsaw on Tuesday, Nov. 18. After that, he and the 'full band' are scheduled to rock New York's Irving Plaza on Wednesday, Nov. 19 and Atlantic City's Borgata Casino Music Box on Friday, Nov. 21. 'Coming at you this fall! The last Big Event before they throw us all in jail!,' the subversive shredder jested in his tour announcement via Instagram. Prior to the brief U.S. leg of the run, Morello is lending his talents to the annual Rocklahoma Festival (Aug. 30) and then heading North for a Canadian tour he's billed as 'a night of stories and music.' Over the past few weeks, the anti-establishment Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee has played a handful of shows and festival dates in Canada. And, while we don't know what to expect from these upcoming autumnal tours, we found that he delivered 20+ tracks at most of his summer gigs, according to Set List FM. His most recent non-festival concert at the time of publication took place at Toronto's Danforth Hall and was a 21-song affair that included RATM classics along with solo cuts and Nightwatchman favorites as well as surprise covers from artists as varied as Ozzy Osbourne, Woody Guthrie, Audioslave, Bruce Springsteen and John Lennon. To close out the show, he shared the stage with Rush's Alex Lifeson and delivered a blistering interpretation of the legendary Canadian group's epic 'Limelight' followed by a rendition of MC5's punchy 'Kick Out the Jams.' 'The set unfolded like a revolution-in-progress—carefully crafted, loud as hell, and impossible to ignore,' Soundcheck Entertainment raved about another recent gig of his in Edmonton. '…it was a rallying cry, a family celebration, and a musical gut-punch all rolled into one. From Roman's [Morello's son, who plays in the band] scorching opener to Woody Guthrie's Canadian makeover, from RATM fury to acoustic rebellion, this night had it all.' Want to be there?

Ozzy Osbourne's final act of generosity is revealed after hellraising rocker's death aged 76
Black Sabbath's final performance is said to have raised £140million for charity just two weeks before the band's frontman Ozzy Osbourne died yesterday aged 76. The gig in Birmingham on July 5 saw all profits equally split between Birmingham Children's Hospital, Acorns Children's Hospice and the Cure Parkinson's charity. Following the concert, its director Tom Morello revealed the charities would share the money which included revenue from livestreams and merchandising. The Rage Against the Machine musician wrote on Instagram: 'Back to the Beginning'. More than 190 million dollars will be donated to houses and hospitals for children.' If true, this meant Osbourne's gig raised the most money for any charity concert on record when not adjusted for inflation, according to US music magazine Billboard. It came after George Harrison and Ravi Shankar's Concert for Bangladesh in 1971 raised £180,000 for Unicef and popularised the idea of an all-star benefit show. The benchmark for charity gigs is widely seen as Sir Bob Geldof's Live Aid in 1985, with estimates of how much it raised varying between £40million and £114million. Many will also remember the America: A Tribute to Heroes charity telethon two weeks after 9/11 in 2001 which raised £95million for the victims of the attacks. Another major concert was the eight-hour livestreamed One World: Together at Home, which organisers Global Citizen said raised £94million for Covid relief efforts. Heavy metal singer Osbourne - who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2019 - was reunited with fellow original Sabbath members Tony Iommi, Terence 'Geezer' Butler and Bill Ward on stage at Villa Park football stadium for a final performance. The band were the last to appear on stage as part of a star-studded line-up for the 'Back to the Beginning' concert, barely two miles from the Crown pub where they first played their first gig together more than half a century ago in 1968. A Birmingham Children's Hospital spokesman said last night: 'We're so very sad to hear the news of Ozzy Osbourne's passing. Ozzy had an incredible career and life, but never forgot his Brummie roots. 'Our hospital was extremely lucky to have his support over the years and most recently with his iconic final performance, which will leave a lasting legacy for our sick kids. Our thoughts are with Sharon and the whole Osbourne family. Our hospital has lost a friend, Birmingham a son and the world a musical legend.' And an Acorns Children's Hospice spokesman said: 'We are deeply saddened by the passing of Ozzy Osbourne and send our heartfelt condolences to Sharon and the entire Osbourne family at this incredibly difficult time. 'Ozzy was more than a global rock icon – he was a true son of Birmingham whose legacy transcended music. As the frontman of Black Sabbath, he not only pioneered a genre and inspired generations, he carried the pride of Birmingham and the West Midlands with him on every world stage he performed. 'For us at Acorns, Ozzy's generosity and compassion will never be forgotten. His decision, alongside Black Sabbath and Sharon Osbourne, to support Acorns during their unforgettable 'Back to the Beginning' show at Villa Park was a moment of pure magic. 'It was a tribute not only to their extraordinary musical journey, but to the community that shaped them – a community we are proud to serve every day. 'That night and in the weeks since, thanks to Ozzy, our children's hospice care has been embraced by people across the world. Families who so often can feel unseen have been celebrated by millions.' At the start of his solo performance on July 5, Osbourne entered the stage by rising on a large black throne through a trap door, wearing his signature black attire and thick eye make-up. He started the set by saying: 'Let me hear you. Are you ready? Let the madness begin!' Later, he told the crowd: 'It's so good to be on this f***ing stage. You have no idea. I f***ing love you all. Let me see your hands in the air. You are the best, each and every one of you. God bless you all.' In an emotional moment, he added: 'I don't know what to say, man, I've been laid up for, like, six years. You have no idea how I feel - thank you from the bottom of my heart. You're all f****** special. Let's go crazy, come on.' The rocker sang five songs in his own set, with fans waving torches from their phones during Mama, I'm Coming Home. He finished his performance with Crazy Train, before confetti rained over a packed Villa Park. After a short break, he re-entered the stage to join the rest of Black Sabbath for the first time in 20 years. The band performed some of their greatest hits, ending with a rendition of Paranoid. Fans chanted 'Ozzy, Ozzy, Ozzy' as the rock great thanked and blew kisses to those in attendance, before departing in an emotional ending to cap an illustrious career on stage. It capped a day-long metal festival that included performances from Anthrax, Metallica and Guns N´Roses. Artists who sent plaudits and well-wishes included Jack Black, Dolly Parton and Sir Elton John. Personal videos from dozens of fans were also broadcast at the event, in which they credited Osbourne and Black Sabbath for inventing heavy metal and thanked them for their generational influence on music.

Ozzy Osbourne's legendary final performance raised a staggering $190M for worthy causes
Ozzy Osbourne's final concert earlier this month raised around $190 million for several charities, according to multiple news outlets. The rocker, who died Tuesday after battling a number of health issues, performed his final concert, "Back to the Beginning," July 5. Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello, the event's musical director, wrote on social media of the concert, "'Back to the Beginning' More than 190 million dollars will be donated to houses and hospitales [sic] for children. Boom. We set out to not just create the greatest day in the history of heavy metal," according to The Independent. The proceeds will go to Cure Parkinson's, Birmingham Children's Hospital and Acorn Children's Hospice. "THANKYOU @ozzyosbourne for trusting me to be the Musical Director of the 'Back To The Beginning' show," he wrote on Instagram. "It was over a year of hard work but heavy metal was the music that made me love music and it was a labor of love. We raised a ton of money for a great cause and so many great musicians & bands & fans all over the world paid tribute to the ALL TIME greats." Osbourne told The Independent in 2022, "I will get back on stage if it f----- kills me, because if I can't do it then that's what's gonna happen anyway, I'm gonna f------ die. I love to see them audiences." The charity concert was the highest-grossing of all time, according to Billboard. Osbourne played with Black Sabbath during the Birmingham, U.K., and bands like Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Slayer, Tool, Pantera, Halestorm, Alice In Chains, Lamb of God, Anthrax, Mastodon and Gojira also performed. The concert lasted around 10 hours and culminated with Osbourne singing with the original lineup of Black Sabbath while seated on a throne. Osbourne struggled with his health in the last few years of his life and was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2003. The Black Sabbath frontman admitted he couldn't walk anymore on a Jan. 29 episode of his Sirius XM show, "Ozzy Speaks." "I may be moaning about how I can't walk, but I look down the road, and there's people that didn't do half as much as me, and they didn't make it," he said at the time. In 2003, Osbourne was in a serious ATV accident when his quad flipped onto him while he was riding around his London estate. In 2022, the "Mama I'm Coming Home" singer underwent surgery to remove and realign pins in his neck and back. Ozzy's back problems likely stemmed from the all-terrain vehicle collision. At the time, he underwent emergency surgery for "a broken collarbone (and) eight fractured ribs that were pinching crucial blood vessels and damaged vertebrae in his neck." "I'm just waiting on some more surgery on my neck," he told Classic Rock magazine in May 2022. "I can't walk properly these days. I have physical therapy every morning. I am somewhat better, but nowhere near as much as I want to be to go back on the road." Fox News Digital has reached out to reps for Osbourne and Morello for comment.

'80s Prog Rock Icon ‘Sounded Terrible' During Tom Morello Performance
'80s Prog Rock Icon 'Sounded Terrible' During Tom Morello Performance originally appeared on Parade. Iconic guitarists Alex Lifeson and Tom Morello brought rock fans to their feet during an unforgettable performance — though one is taking the heat. On Thursday, July 17 during a Toronto performance, the Rush guitarist joined Rage Against the Machine's Morello for a performance of Rush's classic hit 'Limelight.' Fans caught the unexpected moment on video, with the iconic '80s group sharing a clip on their YouTube page. While many people praised the duo, some were quick to critique, particularly 71-year-old Lifeson's performance. 'How great to see Alex on stage celebrating this song with Tom and his band, wonderful job!!' one fan gushed in the comments. 'Something is "off" during the solo,' one noted, while another said bluntly, 'Can't sing.' Apparently, something actually was off. According to other commenters and attendees at the show, Lifeson's string broke during the performance. 'E string unfortunately broke.. but everything was there... thanks Alex,' one said. One praised how Lifeson handled the unfortunate situation. 'Alex, the legend, the consummate pro, somehow manages to get through the song with the guitar he was given out of tune and/or pedals not performing right,' they said. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬= Another elaborated, 'I feel bad for him. Obviously, he can still play, but having the string break on him at the beginning of his solo really threw him, and that just sounded terrible.' Lifeson's collaboration with Morello, 61, isn't a one-off; in 2021, the two guitarists, along with Metallica's Kirk Hammett, teamed up for the track "I Have Seen The Way," featured on Morello's album The Atlas Underground Flood. Since the passing of Rush's legendary drummer, Neil Peart, in January 2020, Lifeson and bassist Geddy Lee have not performed under the band's name but have maintained an active relationship with their fanbase.
