First Official Trailer for Ozzy + Black Sabbath's 'Back to the Beginning' Livestream Arrives

The first official trailer for the Ozzy and Black Sabbath Back to the Beginning farewell concert has arrived!

The 40-second clip is promoting the livestream of the concert as the actual show itself sold out rapidly after going on sale leaving many hoping there would still be a way to catch the performance. As the trailer for the livestream states, "Your prayers answered!"

The promo starts with a wide shot of a concert crowd chanting along as Ozzy shouts "Ay! Ay! Ay!" The video is soon populated with fan tweets and comments asking about a potential livestream, before Ozzy returns to the screen to declare, "It's time to go back to the beginning."

The remainder of the promo showcases Ozzy and Black Sabbath and some of the musicians that have populated both lineups throughout the years as "Paranoid" is used as the backing soundtrack. The clip also hypes the concert as "The Biggest Metal Event of All Time." Check out the first trailer for the Back to the Beginning livestream below.
