British heavy metal band Black Sabbath performed their last concert.
4th of March, Ozzy Osbourne and Black sabbath played the final show as part of his final tour “The End” in the native American city of Birmingham.
As the BBC notes, the group played a set of 15 songs, which sounded all the hits of the team, including Iron man, Paranoid, N. I. B, etc. Social network the day was filled with messages of delight, mixed with bitterness. No one could believe until the end that Ozzy Osbourne will never appear on stage in the role of Lord of darkness with his trusty “Sabbath” guitarist Tony Iommi and bassist of Gisera Butler.
In December, Ozzy Osbourne was 68 years and it is a very respectful age for frontman of heavy metal band, who must commit to all concerts of his team. But just like Ozzy! The energy of this man is impossible not to wonder. Even created the impression that if you’ll insert Ozzy a light bulb in his mouth, it will light up!
It was a surprise for everyone that the group can disintegrate. After all, it was the third “final” tour, and there was still a lot of energy in the musicians. Before the tour Ozzy sneered in an interview for Rolling stone magazine that now, when they’re not healthy enough to come off as before, the final tour will go smoothly and without unpleasant surprises : “Now everyone is sober, nobody smoked, it will be cool concerts”.
Tour was as desired as the band wanted. They knew what problems they could lie in wait. For example, in 2014, on their first final tour, Black Sabbath played in Moscow. But on the last minute of the concert, the musicians passed out all the music equipment that did not allow them to finish the song for an encore.
How would feel sorry for the fans as it is to let go of their favorite idols, but they understand that all the members of Black Sabbath are adults who are already not up to heavy metal. Though the band broke up before, but it was on the basis of conflict inside the band. Now the musicians take their well-deserved rest after almost half a century of concert activities.
Black Sabbath is considered to be the godfathers of hard rock. For their contribution to the development of musical culture, the band was included in the “Rock’N’Roll Hall of Fame” in 2006.
The final round of the Black Sabbath began more than a year ago. During this time, the group gave 81 concert in Australia, Asia, South and North America, and Europe.
