Black Sabbath is a band formed in 1968 by young as common as any of us even though now their names are great. Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, Bill Ward and Ozzy Osbourne followed the leaders of blues, jazz and rock and roll as his beloved Beatles, but in this world full of musical genres dedicated to joy, celebration, nostalgia and psychedelic experimentation and between filmic them genres realized that music and other rock needed his horror genre which today we know as Heavy Metal. This week the band has announced that all will end where it began, Birmingham in England, will be responsible for receiving Black Sabbath in his last concert farewell tour The End 2 and 4 February.
Birmingham city that saw them grow up as children of the post-war, influenced by the dense environment of an industrial city in the midst of reconstruction, where Tony Iommi lost the tips of his middle and ring fingers working, ironically, in a cutting plate metal but that did not stop him. So with the idea of becoming a prosthesis to keep playing I had to go down a whole tone to your guitar so that new artificial tips of her fingers could withstand the pressure of the strings giving the finishing touch to the sound of the creators of heavy rock, the doom and metal.
Although in 1979 Ozzy Osbourne is dismissed by his excessive abuse of drugs and alcohol, and this would overturn the entire history of the band changing sound through their ranks different musicians in different revivals of Sabbath always having as a backbone Iommi. the original lineup sometimes was for different tours and events until the 2012 meet to make a new record but always with the controversy around here is Bill Ward, drummer who decides to retire by disagreements with respect to recruitment and Tony Iommi is attacked by cancer (lymphoma) in 2013.
With the recovery of Tony the tour of his latest album 13 is closed, but closing 2015 and the aftermath of the grueling cancer treatment Iommi, Geezer supported by Ozzy and decide to end the dream on this tour called The End. The sad thing is that besides the farewell, Bill Ward has decided not to at the last concert of the band saying to the invitation by Geezer Butler in previous days "I will say that I could not play one last concert when I am fully capable of do the tour "these statements are given because after his retirement Ozzy said that Ward was not physically able to withstand a tour.
Regardless of all conflicts has reached the sad farewell of the band that made lovers of flowers, psychedelic experimentation and instrumental intricate solos progressive rock will would stop the hair on the nape of fear in the seventies, Black Sabbath .
