Black Sabbath live stream: How to watch final farewell gig as Ozzy Osbourne and members say goodbye to fans

Black Sabbath, the godfathers of heavy metal will take to the stage at Villa Park in the band’s hometown of Birmingham. The band’s original line-up - Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Bill Ward, and Geezer Butler - set are to perform together for the first time in 20 years in a final, farewell concert that will see Black Sabbath say goodbye to fans in style.

Not only will fans be treated to a solo set from Ozzy as well as Black Sabbath taking to the stage, the Back to the Beginning all-day event will also feature performances from some of the biggest names in rock and metal, including Metallica, Alice In Chains and Slash.

Gold-dust tickets to one of the biggest rock events on the planet were snapped up quickly, but fear not if you missed out on grabbing one. It has been confirmed that the show will be streamed across the globe to ensure that every fans has the opportunity to watch this historic moment in music.

Although not part of the original plans for the Back to the Beginning event, the stream was suggested after the overwhelming demand for tickets. Ozzy said: “We never meant to have a livestream; it wasn't in our plan.

“I was just surprised how many people we were contacted by to do one, and so it seemed a great chance for people who didn't have the opportunity to get a ticket to be able to see the show.”
