Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne will cap their careers on Saturday at the star-studded “Back To The Beginning” charity concert in Birmingham, England. In addition to Sabbath and Ozzy, Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Slayer, Pantera, Gojira, Alice In Chains, Rival Sons, Tool, Anthrax, Halestorm, Lamb of God and Anthrax are among the bands set to perform, and a “supergroup of musicians” including Billy Corgan, Fred Durst, K.K. Downing, Jake E. Lee, Tom Morello and others will also appear.
Ozzy’s wife and longtime manager Sharon previously said she had to throw a band off of the bill which has led to speculation online as to who got the hook. She elaborated more with Billboard saying the artist in question “wanted to make a profit” from their appearance. “And it’s not the time to make a profit. After the show, I’ll let everybody know who it was. I think people will be shocked.”
She previously told Metal Hammer: “I had a huge, huge to-do with a manager over this celebration for Ozzy and Sabbath. And it was probably the worst way I’ve felt in years. And I don’t care what this person says about me, thinks about it, because he doesn’t know me. And he’s now going around making up bullsh*t lies because I threw his band off the bill.”
Sharon has had previous issues with Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson, but she said that Maiden wasn’t the band she booted. Ozzy and Sharon’s daughter Kelly also replied to speculation online that it was Megadeth and/or Dave Mustaine saying: “Nope! Not him!”
It was also thought that Tool may have been booted since they were left off the original promotional material, however, that’s not the case as they’re still on the show.
Fans have thrown out several possibilities as to who it could be including Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Slipknot, the Gene Simmons Band, System Of A Down, Foo Fighters and Nickelback, among others, but nothing has been confirmed.
