Ozzy Osbourne concludes his legendary career with a final concert featuring the original Black Sabbath lineup reuniting for the first time in 20 years. The highly anticipated performance will take place at Birmingham's Villa Park, close to Osbourne's childhood home. As he reflects on his journey, Osbourne expresses gratitude to fans for their unwavering support. Black Sabbath is credited with transforming rock music into a heavier genre, with their debut album in 1970 often marked as the birth of heavy metal, achieving sales of 75 million albums worldwide.
"Black Sabbath transformed late-60s rock into something darker, heavier and more ominous. Their music was characterised by down-tuned, distorted guitar riffs and haunting vocals and lyrics about war, madness and the occult."
"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.
"Sabbath gave us the blueprint, Sabbath gave us the recipe. They gave us the cookbook, man," Slipknot's Corey Taylor said.
"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."
