The Original Line-Up Reunites for One Last Time

Earlier this year, it was revealed that the metal pioneers would reunite with the original Black Sabbath line-up for this historic show: Ozzy Osbourne, guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler, and drummer Bill Ward. This will be their first live performance together in two decades, marking the ultimate curtain call for the band.

In addition to the legendary Sabbath members, the concert will feature a powerhouse lineup of guests including Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Gojira, and Billy Corgan from Smashing Pumpkins. Slash and Duff McKagan from Guns N’ Roses, Alice In Chains, members of Limp Bizkit and KoRn, and Rage Against The Machine’s Tom Morello—who will also serve as the concert’s musical director—will join the celebration.

An Exclusive Glimpse: What to Expect from the Finale

Sharon Osbourne, Ozzy’s wife and manager, shared insights about the final performance’s format. Starting around noon, expect a series of unique collaborations where rock icons will jam together, performing Black Sabbath classics alongside their own hits. Imagine the thrill of seeing Tom Morello teaming up with Tool’s Danny Carey and Billy Corgan, or Slash and Duff McKagan making magic on stage.

Ozzy Osbourne Opens Up About His Farewell

In a heartfelt interview, Ozzy Osbourne addressed his health challenges and the reasons behind his decision to make this his last live show. He emphasized that the performance will be a sampling rather than full sets, saying:

“We’re only playing a couple of songs each. I don’t want people thinking, ‘We’re getting ripped off,’ because it’s just going to be a sample. You’re going to get a few songs each by Ozzy and Sabbath.”

Ozzy explained that after more than 50 years on the road, it’s time to slow down and cherish life with family — especially his grandchildren. He’s stepping away from the rockstar lifestyle and focusing on home life, sharing:

“I don’t smoke dope or do any of the rock star lifestyle any more. I’m kind of like a homebody. I never go out. I never hang out in bars – I don’t drink. So what the fuck is out there for me? It’s time for me to spend some time with my grandkids, I don’t want to die in a hotel room somewhere. I want to spend the rest of my life with my family.”
