The prince of darkness says he will be performing with Black Sabbath in Birmingham England (his home town) for his final show🙁
I’m glad he’s healthy enough to do it but really sad to see him bring his epic career to a close.
Living legend for sure!

It's too late, His best days are behind him. I know he knows the set, but it will be a disappointment.

to be honest, he is worse the potato joe at this point.

I just wish He would have done this sooner, (Ozzy)
My analogy was a poor one, Ozzy gets way more respect. Bad on my part.
No thing. Last time I seen him was at OZ fest, somewhere near 2000 or so. He was tired then.

My thought is that him doing a farewell show is his way of saying "f-#k, people still want me to play live, OK" and it is more of an inconvenience and task for him then anything.

I was there, He has been amazing, in a general sense he was incoherent, but put him on stage, and he became a machine, it was amazing to watch. I hope he does not disappoint.

He's a rock God.

I was backstage at Irvine Amphitheater in 1982, picked up some of the gear that was heading out of the country.

Great food for the crew, and LOUD is what I remember.
Shit like this reminds me how old I am, and how much things have changed.
Gawd that was the days.

Right down the street from OCIR where we would drag race.

Tried to see him a few years back at the Hollywood Bowl but it kept getting postponed and ultimately cancelled.

Diary of a madman tour, Irvine meadows?

That was a great show.
Yup, I was there too. Was it Diary of a madman, or Speak of the Devil? Must have been Diary since I don't remember seeing Brad Gillis on lead.

Seen him many times, starting in 81 in Long Beach with Randy on his best tour ever, the Blizzard of Oz, and shortly after Randy died, at Irvine and then the US Festival with Jake Lee. At Long Beach I was in 9th grade and I didn't have the cash for a concert shirt,,,so a buddy and I made our own shirts in our graphic arts/screen printing class.

I respect Ozzy. He knows they are done and they're basically having a party.

The past few years has been a good run for rock bands, but it's quickly coming to an end. An end to an era of music that growing up, we took for granted. :(

Bootleg vinyl for the US Festival show and I'm trying to find the boot of the Long Beach show.

Ozzy and Sharon have always been very good at surrounding themselves with incredibly talented musicians and songwriters. But the fact that they have a track record of not paying proper royalties to their respected musicians has always kept me from being a super fan of the Prince of Darkness.

I'll never forget when I heard Blizzard of Ozz for the first time, the needle dropped and "I don't know" came on, I couldn't believe how incredible is was. Love all the Ozzy stories, especially the one where Dana Strum (Slaughter) found Randy Rhodes for Ozzy, a classic for sure.

Going to see the Crew in Vegas in April, Vince can't sing, but i can't hear either so it should be good lol

They are gonna sound perfect, because half of it will be backing tracks.. A Karaoke show.

I saw them in 1981 at the Whisky with my brother, we were big fans.. They were absolutely electric, insane...

Anyone recall when Pat Boone was his next door neighbor on their TV show. That was pretty hilarious.

Such BS…., I was at the “Last Show” for Black Sabbath in 2017 February 4th in Birmingham with Ozzy as vocals. I guess they decided to cash in again. Ozzy is one of my favorites, I got to work with him directly when we filmed “Little Nicky” he was great to deal with. When I saw him perform his last concert it was not about his performance for me, it was about nostalgia. So many great memories growing up with his music.
