Just seen this news of a final show WITH BILL WARD! Looks like a 1-day event with a stella line-up!

Yeah just saw that on facebook.

Looks like it's gonna be one hell of a day!

[Zzzptm]

So they wrote up a signable contract?

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

Some conjecture on-line as to whether Ozzy will be able to do it... but plenty of great acts to see if he can't!

Money generated is going to charity.

[Charger]

I'm pretty sure Ozzy can do one show...even if he'd be sitting down most of the time and sounding horrible. I doubt it'll be a 2 and a half hours anyways...more like 60 to 70 minutes of greatest hits.

Will it be a good show? Well that's another matter all together!

Awesome sauce in a pan! Wish I could be there. That much legend-vibe in one place has got to create some kind of space-time rift.

[Thelemech]

Ozzy is not looking very good 😕

I hope that they are able to give a memorable performance

I would love to see it live

Well this I suppose was to be expected:

So Sabbath won't be doing a full show, maybe just a song or two....

Interesting that this announcement came AFTER the tickets got on sale and people were paying several hundreds of pounds for them! I am sure some will feel extremely betrayed here.

This whole thing stinks of $haron's turds...

[Vyn]

Yeah, not surprised and agree that the timing involved is suspect. The saving grace for me is that they claim the money is going to medical research, which is cool. Until it comes out that it's only, "bits and pieces," of the money lol.

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

I had no illusion that Ozzy wouldn't be able to do much. There was no hiding the fact that Ozzy is not able to give the sort of performance he would love to give. A lot of the heavy lifting for the day is going to be carried out by the other acts on the bill... who probably don't come cheap. £200 for the cheap tickets to see THAT line-up is probably a bargain... not so sure about the more expensive tickets!

Hoping there will be some sort of live broadcast, but who knows?

[Charger]

Yeah...but that ofcourse depends on how long will the bands play...if it's just like 2 or 3 songs per band then I don't know...

I've seen people paying north of 2000£ for tickets on facebook! What the actual FUCK?!?

Just saw Guns & Roses and Tool have been added to the bill...two more non cheap bands.

[Vyn]

I'm hoping the Sabs play a solid set of tunes, even if Ozzy only participates in bits and pieces. Of course, then there's Bill...who knows what kind of shape he's in at this point. Maybe he's been on the ball, or maybe spent too much time with his "drum art" projects and poetry stuff.

Could always fire up the Dio hologram...

Expect a bag of shit mailed to your home from Sharon.
