As previously reported, Black Sabbath’s original lineup, singer Ozzy Osbourne, guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler, and drummer Bill Ward, will be performing for the last time at Villa Park in Birmingham, UK on July 5. Now, during a recent interview with Music Week, Iommi discussed the event, saying “the worrying thing for [him] is the unknown.”
Iommi said the following:
“This would be a big, monumental thing if it all comes good. The worrying thing for me is the unknown. We don’t know what’s going to happen.
Normally, when we’d tour, we’d rehearse and run through the thing for a while, and it’s just us. But with this event there are so many other moving parts.”
He also addressed Osbourne’s health issues:
“You’re used to Ozzy running around, but he certainly won’t be doing that for this show. I don’t know if he’s going to be standing or sitting on a throne or what.”
Iommi went on to say he is going into the show with “excitement mixed with fear”:
“Once we start playing, then we’ll know we’re doing it. It’s always a worry, even when we did tours before, there’s always that build-up, and then it gets to the point that we do it and it’s okay.”
