In brief
In an emotional announcement, Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath confirmed they will reunite for a last performance, dubbed "Back To The Beginning," taking place on July 5 at Villa Park in Birmingham. This one-day festival will feature the original Black Sabbath lineup for the first time in 20 years and will support several charitable causes.
Osbourne, affected by health issues like Parkinson's and spinal injuries, will deliver a short solo set before rejoining his bandmates. His wife, Sharon, emphasized this concert serves as a long-awaited farewell for Ozzy.
