Guns N' Roses Part of Star-Studded 'Back to the Beginning' Show

Guns N' Roses will take part in the Back to the Beginning show this Saturday at Villa Park in Black Sabbath's hometown of Birmingham, England. The all-day, star-studded event will feature other rock and metal titans such as Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Gojira, Halestorm, Alice in Chains, Lamb of God, Anthrax and Mastodon.

The Back to the Beginning concert will double as Ozzy Osbourne's final bow and a reunion of Black Sabbath's original lineup, comprising Osbourne, guitarist Tony Iommi, drummer Bill Ward and bassist Geezer Butler. Ward last played with Black Sabbath in 2005, and he did not participate in the band's 2013 reunion album 13 or the ensuing tour.

"He's doing great. He's doing really great," Sharon Osbourne told the BBC when the show was announced earlier this year. "Ozzy didn't have a chance to say goodbye to his friends, to his fans, and he feels there's no been no full stop. This is his full stop."

The Back to the Beginning concert will be available to watch via livestream. It begins at 3 p.m. BST on July 5, and those who purchase the livestream will have exclusive access to the entire concert for an additional 48 hours.
