A picture from the continuing preparations for Black Sabbath‘s impending live farewell was posted by 3 out of 4 members of the band’s iconic lineup. For their upcoming July 5th “Back To Beginning” performance at Villa Park in Birmingham, UK, vocalist Ozzy Osbourne, bassist Geezer Butler, and drummer Bill Ward, who was once estranged from the band, have been rehearsing. Not shown in the photo, guitarist Tony Iommi is also expected to return to his former comrades for that final performance, which would also mark the live end of Ozzy’s solo touring career.
