Black Sabbath retired following an extensive farewell tour from 2016 to 2017. The shows featured three of the band’s four founding members – singer Ozzy Osbourne, guitarist Tony Iommi and bassist Geezer Butler – but not original drummer Bill Ward, who pulled out of the band several years earlier due to a contract dispute.

Jay Wooles and Leigh Gallacher arrived in Birmingham from Caerphilly in Wales on Friday and were at the ground by 8am. They said there were already about 200 people there but the queue for check in was moving quickly and everyone was very excited. Unfortunately the concert is sold out.
