Black Sabbath's final show is just two days away, and celebrations have been going on for the past week in the band's hometown of Birmingham. The latest is the city's LEGOLAND Discovery Centre immortalizing the band as LEGO figures. The concert setup and member likeness is pretty spot-on, aside from left-handed guitarist Tony Iommi being depicted as right-handed.
Back to the Beginning is an all-day event set to go down July 5 at Villa Park in Birmingham. It will be Black Sabbath's final show, as well as Ozzy Osbourne's final solo performance. In addition to the main acts, Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Slayer, Pantera, Gojira, Halestorm, Alice in Chains, Lamb of God, Mastodon, Anthrax, TOOL and Rival Sons will also be playing sets, along with solo performers.
Check out photos from the LEGO display below.
Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler and drummer Bill Ward recently reflected on how they want Black Sabbath to be remembered after they take their final bow.
âYou can never know how your life turns out," Iommi pointed out. âItâs just believing in what you do and following that path. Thatâs always what Iâve had, and not give[n] up on it.â
He then said he'd like Sabbath to be remembered âfor what we brought to the table. For bringing this music out and inspiring other bands to build on it.â
Ward said he hopes the band is remembered "for showing that itâs okay to push things, to be outlandish and extraordinary and rough around the edges. We were loud and aggressive, and thatâs what I love about us.â
And Butler hopes people remember the metal icons âas four working-class blokes who defied all the odds, but had an unbreakable belief in ourselves, and bonded with the greatest fans ever.â
