Heavy metal legends and iconic bands came together in a historic supergroup to perform at Black Sabbath’s farewell concert. The ‘Back To The Beginning’ event, held at Villa Park in Birmingham on July 5, marked the final performance of the legendary heavy metal band.
The all-day show featured an impressive lineup, including Aerosmith, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Rolling Stones, Rage Against The Machine, Blink-182, and Metallica. Tom Morello from Rage Against The Machine served as the musical director for the concert.
During the ‘Supergroup B’ section of the show, a star-studded lineup took the stage, including Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler on vocals, The Rolling Stones’ Ronnie Wood and Extreme’s Nuno Bettencourt on guitar, Quiet Riot’s Rudy Sarzo on bass, and Blink-182’s Travis Barker on drums. They played ‘Train Kept A Rollin”.
Later, Chad Smith from Red Hot Chili Peppers replaced Barker on drums, and the band performed a medley of Aerosmith’s ‘Walk This Way’ and Led Zeppelin’s ‘Whole Lotta Love’.
Black Sabbath’s lead singer Tony Iommi has been struggling with health issues, including Parkinson’s disease, which has limited his ability to perform. However, he is determined to make it through this final performance in good health. His wife and manager Sharon Osbourne stated that despite the illness, Tony’s voice remains unaffected.
The ‘Back To The Beginning’ concert was a celebration of Black Sabbath’s legacy, featuring some of the biggest names in heavy metal music. Fans were treated to an unforgettable experience as these rock legends came together to pay tribute to one of the greatest bands in history.
