The original line-up of heavy metal legends Black Sabbath, including Ozzy Osbourne, will play together for the first time in 20 years at a one-off concert on July 5 in Birmingham, England, organisers said on Wednesday, Reuters writes.
The gig will feature guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler and drummer Bill Ward — who along with charismatic frontman Osbourne pioneered heavy metal music in the early 1970s with hits such as "War Pigs", "Paranoid" and "Iron Man".
Since their last performance together in 2005, Black Sabbath has played in partial reunions but never in their original line-up.
Profits from the show, called "Back to the Beginning", will be donated to charities including Cure Parkinson's, organisers said. Black Sabbath will top a line-up of rock and heavy metal icons including Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Alice in Chains, Lamb Of God and Anthrax at the Villa Park event.
