Jason Momoa Makes Bold Prediction About Black Sabbath's Final Concert
Jason Momoa says Black Sabbath's Back to the Beginning concert will be 'the greatest metal show in history.' In an interview with Kerrang days before the iconic heavy metal band's last live performance ever, the Aquaman star made the prediction about the show. Momoa will host the event, which will be broadcast worldwide from Villa Park in Aston, Birmingham, on July 5.
'I'll be s----ng my pants but at the same time it's the goddamn greatest metal show in history,' Momoa, 45, said. 'This show is going to be amazing, and I'm so happy they've done it on pay-per-view for all to see.'
The actor admitted he was shocked when he was asked to host Back to the Beginning after he called around to try to score a ticket.
'I was just calling my buddies …I called people basically begging to go,' he said. 'And then [photographer] Ross Halfin…he hit me up and I said I was trying to get a ticket, then he's like, 'Sharon [Osbourne] wants you to host it!' I'm like, 'What the f--- are you talking about, man?!' I'm over here begging for a ticket, and now they want me to host it!'
'I've never hosted anything before, but I've gotta go out in front of all these f---ing people and host! And now it's on pay-per-view. Jesus Christ…' he added.
Momoa previously told NME he was 'blown away' when Ozzy Osbourne's wife/manager asked him to host the farewell show. 'I don't know how I'm going to host, but I'll figure it out,' he told the outlet. 'I'm just so excited to be there. It's funny, because I was begging for tickets and now I turn out to be hosting.'
Back to the Beginning will feature Black Sabbath founding members Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward onstage together for the first time in 20 years—and their last time ever with Osbourne onstage. A long list of additional acts includes Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Alice in Chains, Anthrax, and Pantera.
