It's alright if you didn't get tickets to Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath's farewell show named Back To The Beginning happening on July 5 – they've just announced they're livestreaming the entire thing! The show will be broadcast live from Birmingham's Villa Park with livestream tickets on sale right here. Because let's just admit to ourselves that deep down, we knew this wouldn't be streamed for free online.
"We had such an overwhelming demand from fans from around the globe, who couldn't get tickets to the show, and they took to social media, pleading with us to broadcast a livestream of the show," said Sharon Osbourne. "Being this is such a historic event, we just couldn't let them down."
Back To The Beginning will be captured, produced and distributed by Mercury Studios (One to One: John & Yoko, American Symphony, Metallica Saved My Life). Kelly Sweeney, Managing Director of Mercury Studios said: "Mercury Studios are incredibly proud to be involved in capturing this monumental milestone at Villa Park. Back To The Beginning will be an unforgettable experience, and our aim is to deliver this moment to fans worldwide, wherever they are, so they don't miss out on seeing music history being made."
