Black Sabbath Begins its Final Tour on Long Island

BREAKING: Tickets are Still available for show at Jones Beach.

Legendary metal band Black Sabbath is kicking off its last tour ever at Jones Beach tonight.

Black Sabbath, with original vocalist Ozzy Osbourne, will kick off The End tour at the Nikon at Jones Beach Theater at 7:30 p.m.

The band formed in England in 1968, and has been making metal music ever since. The other band members kicked Ozzy out in 1979 because of his excessive drug and alcohol use, but reunited with him in the late 1990s. He will be leading the band through all their hits at the beach.

This is the second, and final, leg of the band's farewell tour. They played across the country earlier this year.

"From the pulverizing opening tritone of ‘Black Sabbath’…the show was more a celebration of the pioneering heavy-metal band’s legacy than an epitaph," Kory Grow wrote in Rolling Stone in January. "Each of the musicians was in stellar form in Chicago…now may be the beginning of the end for Black Sabbath, but, as they proved in Chicago and over the years, their music will echo through the ages.”
