The original BLACK SABBATH – Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward – are reuniting for the first time in 20 years to headline the Back To The Beginning farewell bash on July 5 at Villa Park in Birmingham, England. Yep, the same Birmingham where it all started back in the day!
The Back To The Beginning shindig is going to feature a slew of other artists, including METALLICA, who have just announced an update that’s got everyone excited:
