Here’s Black Sabbath celebrated in LEGO ahead of final show
Black Sabbath have been immortalised as LEGO figures ahead of their final show this weekend. Check it out below.
The iconic metal band will play their final ever live show in their Birmingham hometown this weekend (Saturday July 5) in an event dubbed ‘Back To The Beginning’. Taking place at Villa Park, Aston, it’ll see frontman Ozzy Osbourne, guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler and drummer Bill Ward perform on stage together for the first time in two decades.
Now, with just days left until things kick off, the LEGOLAND Discovery Centre in Birmingham has gotten involved in the celebrations by sharing LEGO versions of the four members performing live.
The layout is set to resemble the huge venue that they will perform at this weekend, and barring the left-handed Tony Iommi being depicted as playing a right-handed guitar, it seems to have got their likeness nailed.
Check out the metal pioneers in LEGO form below.

At the long-awaited show this weekend, Osbourne and co. will be joined on the bill by other huge names in the genre including Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Alice In Chains, Gojira, Anthrax, Smashing Pumpkins‘ Billy Corgan, Guns N’ Roses, KoRn, Tool, Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler and the surviving members of Soundgarden.
Rage Against The Machine’s Tom Morello will serve as musical director for the concert, which is being live-streamed around the globe, and actor Jason Momoa will host.
Sunny conditions are expected for the majority of the event, according to the latest weather reports, and the show is expected to boost Birmingham’s economy by a whopping £20million.
The members have been given the freedom of the city of Birmingham in honour of the event too, and last week the band shared a behind-the-scenes look at preparations for ‘Back To The Beginning’ with a photograph from rehearsals.
Earlier this year, Sharon Osbourne told NME that Ozzy’s battle with Parkinson’s “doesn’t affect his voice”. “He wants to say thank you to everybody,” she explained at Villa Park. “He didn’t have that chance because of his illness, but now he does have the chance.”
Sharon said her husband was doing “really great” at the time. She told NME that Ozzy was feeling “very emotional” about the final Sabbath set, and that it was “what he wants”.
