Black Sabbath say goodbye to their last world tour.

The British group Black Sabbath, a pioneer of heavy metal, closed on Saturday his last world tour before finally leaving with a concert in Birmingham, where he had begun his career in 1968. The concert took place a week after the death of Geoff Nicholls, keyboardist of the group, who died at age 68 of lung cancer. For his last concert, Black Sabbath filled the Genting Arena, a room with capacity for 16,000 people, in Birmingham, the second largest city of the United Kingdom to an enthusiastic audience. On stage, three of the four founding members of the group, guitarist Tony Iommi, 68, singer Ozzy Osbourne, 68, and bassist Geezer Butler, 67, were accompanied by drummer Tommy Clufetos and keyboardist Adam Wakeman.

Black Sabbath closed the concert playing one of his greatest hits, "Paranoid" (1970), a classic heavy metal included in the album of the same name. The group members then greeted the long standing ovation. "Thank you, goodnight, thank you very much!" Said Ozzy Osbourne leaving the scene. The group released their farewell tour, called The End, in January 2016, with more than 80 concerts in North America, South America and Europe. It was in Birmingham, an industrial city in central UK where the group was formed in the 1960s, during the hippie wave, and gave birth to heavy metal, with its strong guitars and fast and very technical solos. "The success of their first two albums, Black Sabbath and Paranoid, marked a before and after in the world of rock , " says the website of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame museum.
