“We had our time, and it was magical. But the original Black Sabbath—us four? That door is closed.”
—Ozzy Osbourne
There are moments in rock history that hit like a thunderclap—and this one echoes louder than most. In a raw, unfiltered, and downright emotional moment captured during his farewell tour, Ozzy Osbourne confirmed what many Sabbath faithful have dreaded for years:
The original Black Sabbath lineup will never take the stage together again.
This wasn’t just another throwaway comment mid-tour. This was Ozzy, the Prince of Darkness himself, facing down the end of an era—with brutal honesty and undeniable gravity.
🖤 End of the Beginning: Ozzy Reflects on Sabbath’s Legacy
Streaming now as part of the MetalMania Live series, Ozzy’s sit-down is nothing short of monumental. Recorded backstage during his current farewell tour, the interview dives deep into his past, present, and what the future looks like without the original Sabbath on stage.
“We made magic,” Ozzy says. “Tony, Geezer, Bill, and me—we were lightning in a bottle. But you can’t go back. We’re older, life’s different, and honestly… some wounds don’t heal the same.”
There’s no bad blood—just a poignant acceptance that time moves forward, even when legends stand still.
🎸 A Legacy Set in Stone
It’s easy to forget just how much Sabbath reshaped the world of music. From the drop-tuned doom riffs of “Iron Man” to the apocalyptic groove of “War Pigs,” the original Black Sabbath wasn’t just a band—they were the architects of heavy metal.
“We didn’t know we were inventing a genre,” Ozzy laughs in the stream. “We were just playing what felt right. Turns out the world was ready to go darker—and louder.”
Their impact is undeniable, their influence eternal. But as Ozzy makes clear: the original lineup had its time, and it’s time to let it go with respect.
