All good things must eventually come to an end, it would seem. Heavy metal godfathers Black Sabbath are no exception; as they have just announced when and where their final performance will take place before they hang up the towel and call it a day.
The aforementioned announcement (which can be viewed in the video at the bottom) was made by singer Ozzy Osbourne's wife and manager Sharon Osbourne, saying “Ozzfest will be back in Japan on November 21st and 22nd. And this will be Black Sabbath’s farewell. We’re also announcing Korn, who are celebrating their 20th anniversary. Now you can’t miss that.”
In addition to one final tour, Black Sabbath are also intending to record one more album, bringing back producer Rick Rubin who worked with them on their most recent release 13; which was released back in 2013.
I'm kind of hoping that original drummer Bill Ward makes a surprise appearance and performs with the band at their final show, but I somehow doubt that will happen. He has refused to work with Black Sabbath since their reunion due to not being handed a "signable contract". If you ask me, that is a bit big headed and greedy of him. Of course I don't necessarily know all of the details of the matter, but you would think that for something like this it would be more about playing music you love with old chums and making millions of fans across the world happy to be able to see you play with the group one more time.
