Black Sabbath Announce Farewell Tour

Black Sabbath, who pioneered heavy metal more than four decades ago, on Thursday announced a final tour and vowed it would be the band's last.

The English rockers, known for their thunderous guitars and dark subject matter, said that “The End” tour would feature three of the band’s four longtime members including flamboyant frontman Ozzy Osbourne.

“It promises to surpass all previous tours with their most mesmerizing production ever. When the tour concludes, it will truly be the end,” said a voiceover on a video announcement on the band’s website.

The band announced 24 dates for the tour, which will start on 20 January in Omaha, Nebraska in the US midwest, a hotbed for heavy metal fans.

The tour will cover the United States, including New York’s Madison Square Garden, as well as Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

The final date – the real "The End" - is scheduled for 30 April in the southern New Zealand city of Dunedin.
