Ozzy Osbourne will reunite with all of the original members of Black Sabbath for the first time in 20 years in a gig that will be his last and that’s being billed as the “greatest” heavy metal show ever, promoters said Wednesday.
The band will headline the “Back to the Beginning” show July 5 at Villa Park in Birmingham, Great Britain.
“It’s my time to go back to the beginning … time for me to give back to the place where I was born,” Osbourne said in a statement. “How blessed am I to do it with the help of people whom I love. Birmingham is the true home of metal. Birmingham forever.”
Osbourne, who was the band’s front man during its peak period in the 1970s, will deliver his own short set before Sabbath bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward join him for the first time in two decades. The all-day event will also feature a host of major metal bands including Metallica, Slayer and Alice in Chains
Ye speaks out after wife’s nude stunt at Grammys
Ye has broken his silence after his wife, Bianca Censori, appeared naked this past weekend on the Grammys red carpet, where she sported a fully sheer dress.
The embattled 47-year-old rapper once known as Kanye West, who is facing multiple lawsuits, including for sexual harassment and “antisemitic tirades,” suggested to TMZ that the stunt was intended to overshadow the musical awards show.
“Ask me how it was to beat the Grammys. … We beat the Grammys,” the rapper told TMZ as paparazzi snapped photos of the eyebrow-raising couple as they headed into a recording studio in Los Angeles — fully dressed this time.
The outlet previously countered reports that the controversial couple were “forcibly removed” from the Grammys after Censori dropped her full-length fur coat to flaunt her birthday suit outside Crypto.com Arena, saying they left of their own accord.
Wife’s cancer prompted Batiste to skip awards
Singer Jon Batiste and his wife, Suleika Jaouad, had a big night at the Grammys even though they were not there.
Their film, “American Symphony,” won two awards, but they were not in the building. The reason? Her cancer has returned.
Still, the couple looked good and seemed delighted by their Grammys success. “On this lazy Sunday, life is good!” Jaouad wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of her and Batiste.
“We couldn’t make it to the ceremony but we’re beaming love from our couch to yours and sending gratitude to all who made this film possible.”
