Band Removed from Ozzy Osbourne & Black Sabbath's Final Concert Lineup

Band Removed from Ozzy Osbourne & Black Sabbath's Final Concert Lineup

Drama has struck the highly anticipated "Back to the Beginning" concert, marking Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath's final performance. Sharon Osbourne, Ozzy's wife and manager, revealed that a band was removed from the lineup following a dispute with their manager. The concert, scheduled for July 5th at Villa Park in Birmingham, England, promises to be a historic event, but the last-minute change has added a layer of intrigue.

In an interview with Metal Hammer, Sharon Osbourne described the incident as leaving her feeling terrible. "I had a huge, huge to-do with a manager over this celebration for Ozzy and Sabbath," she stated. "And it was probably the worst way I’ve felt in years." She further added that she doesn't care what the manager thinks of her, as he is allegedly spreading lies because his band was removed from the bill.

Speculation arose regarding the identity of the ousted band, with some suggesting Iron Maiden due to Sharon Osbourne's past criticisms of lead singer Bruce Dickinson. However, Osbourne quickly dismissed this, emphasizing Ozzy's respect for Iron Maiden. The conflict with Dickinson dates back to Ozzfest 2005.

The "Back to the Beginning" concert is set to feature a star-studded lineup, including rock and metal legends like Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Slayer, Pantera, Gojira, Halestorm, Alice in Chains, Lamb of God, Anthrax, and Mastodon. The show promises a night of unforgettable performances and a fitting farewell to Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath.

While the identity of the removed band remains a mystery, the incident highlights the complexities and behind-the-scenes drama that can occur even in the most celebrated events. Fans eagerly await the concert, hoping the focus remains on the music and legacy of Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath.
