Black Sabbath Announce ‘Back To The Beginning’
Icons of Metal come together to celebrate
@OzzyOsbourne’s Final Performance
July 5th at Villa Park
All Profits From The Show Will Be SHARED EQUALLY BETWEEN Cure Parkinson’s, Birmingham Children’s Hospital and Acorn Children’s Hospice
The original Black Sabbath – Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward – will play for the first time in 20 years. The band will take to the stage to headline BACK TO THE BEGINNING on July 5th at Villa Park.
The all-star event will celebrate the true creators of heavy metal and will see Ozzy Osbourne play his own short set before joining with Black Sabbath for his final bow.
“It’s my time to go Back to the Beginning... time for me to give back to the place where I was born,” Ozzy Osbourne said. “How blessed am I to do it with the help of people whom I love. Birmingham is the true home of metal. Birmingham Forever.”
Formed in Birmingham in 1968 and going on to become one of most successful metal bands of all time, Black Sabbath have sold over 75 million albums worldwide across their legendary career. Setting the blueprint for the many routes heavy metal took, Black Sabbath’s influence and importance is as vital today as it was in the early 1970s.
Music Director @TMorello said: “This will be the greatest heavy metal show ever.”
BACK TO THE BEGINNING will feature sets from @Metallica, @Slayer, @Pantera, @GojiraMusic, @Halestorm, @AliceinChains, @LambofGod, @Anthrax and @MastodonMusic
The all-day event will also feature a supergroup of musicians. Artists announced so far include @BillyCorgan (The Smashing Pumpkins), @DavidMDraiman (Disturbed), @DuffMcKagan & @Slash (Guns ‘n Roses), Frank Bello (Anthrax), @FredDurst (Limp Bizkit), Jake E Lee, @JDavisOfficial (Korn), KK Downing, @LzzyHale (Halestorm), Mike Bordin (Faith No More), Rudy Sarzo, @SammyHagar, @ScottIanthrax (Anthrax), Sleep Token ii (Sleep Token), Papa V Perpetua (Ghost), Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine), @WolfVanHalen and @ZakkWyldeBLS

One of the more confusing things about autism (especially to those who aren't autistic) is that the way an autistic person reacts to things can change from one moment to the next... and I think it's helpful to understand why.
First, a few examples, so you know what I mean...
Why are there so many undiagnosed adults who are only now discovering that they're either autistic, adhd, or neurodivergent in some way?
I can explain...

Friendly but weird... annoying... self-centered... too much... not enough... introverted... finicky... overly sensitive... talks too much... smart but... capable but... [insert positive attribute here] but...... (there's always a but)
