They said it was The End in 2017 but it would appear that only death will be the true end for the Godfathers of heavy metal! Today, it’s been announced that Black Sabbath will reunite for one final tour in 2024. There’s no word on venues, cities or even countries but we’d imagine it will be less expansive than The End tour and will be taking place in arenas, if not stadiums. Could we even see them at the odd festival or two?

There’s also no confirmation on who will be sitting behind the drum kit, if Bill Ward will have a chance to say goodbye in the live arena like Ozzy Osbourne, Toni Iommi and Geezer Butler did during 2016 and 2017. Given Ozzy’s recent announcement of returning to performing live with LA’s Power Trip festival and him collaborating with Iommi on his most recent solo album, as well as no band truly retiring (see: Mötley Crüe), this news doesn’t come as too much of a surprise.
Check out our review of the “final” Birmingham show from 2017 and you’ll get an idea of how emotional it will be for everyone involved.
But don’t just take it from us, let’s hear it straight from the band themselves whilst we wait for more news to come.
evil!!!
Thank you
I HATE YOU
Aw, you hardly know me
You have no soul.
There’s no such thing as a soul, so I’m cool with that.
I’ll never forgive you for this
…I’m not looking for forgiveness?
Sabbath are no strangers to love.
They know the rules (and so do I).
