Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath are preparing to reunite for one last performance.
The 76-year-old heavy metal icon is set to reunite with his Black Sabbath bandmates this summer for what will be his final performance.
The concert, dubbed Back To The Beginning, was announced on Wednesday by Ozzy's wife Sharon Osbourne and bandmate Tony Iommi at Birmingham's Villa Park, where the event will take place on 5 July.
The headlining performance will be the band's first in twenty years and will see the original line-up of Ozzy, Tony, Bill Ward and Geezer Butler take to the stage together.
Other bands scheduled to perform at the one-day festival include Metallica, Pantera, Lamb Of God, Slayer, Gojira and Anthrax.
The show will also feature a supergroup including Slash, Wolfgang Van Halen, Billy Corgan, Fred Durst and Tom Morello.
Ozzy has been unable to tour in recent years due to his Parkinson's disease and spinal injuries. However, the rocker is set to play a short solo set before joining his bandmates.
Speaking to BBC News this week, Sharon said that her husband was "doing really great".
"He's doing great. He's doing really great," she said. "He's so excited about this, about being with the guys again and all his friends. It's exciting for everyone."
The former X Factor judge confirmed that the concert will be Ozzy's final performance.
"Ozzy didn't have a chance to say goodbye to his friends, to his fans, and he feels there's no been no full stop," she told the outlet. "This is his full stop."
Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello, who is serving as the festival's musical director, has declared the event will be "the greatest heavy metal show ever".
Proceeds from the concert will go to Cure Parkinson's, Birmingham Children's Hospital and Acorn Children's Hospice.
