It should be the summer and heavy tribe meeting of the summer. The farewell to Black Sabbath in a traditional line -up with Ozzy Osbourne, celebrated on July 5 in the Villa Park stadium of her Central English hometown Birmingham. At Ticketmaster UK, tickets between 197 and 2,933 pounds (for super-duper-vip cowl carriers) are still advertised, but these are sold out.
The only question is in which “configuration” will Ozzy Osbourne be able to participate in this ceremony?
After all, the Sabbath singer had recently struggled with a number of health problems.

He added that the reunion concert organized by his wife Sharon would look like a drive to get up in the morning.
The “back to the starting” christened mega show in Birmingham is also a chorus of assessments and speculation.
In March, for example, Sabbath guitarist Zakk Wylde had just put in the room that Osbourne could also sit on a “throne that flies across the stadium” at the last appearance.
If everything goes well, he will be released on stage for the first time in 20 years with his original bandmates – guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer butler and drummer Bill Ward.
