First Official Photo of Ozzy + Black Sabbath's All-Star 'Back to the Beginning' Lineup

We're a day out from one of the biggest concert's in metal history and we've gotten the first official photo of the all star lineup that will be on hand at Villa Park in Birmingham, England to pay their respects to Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath.

You don't need to look any further than this photo to see the respect and love for the legacy that Ozzy and Black Sabbath have commanded over the years. The lineup for the Back to the Beginning concert reads like a who's who of heavy music while also showing the broad reach the band had amidst musicians carving out their own careers in somewhat different paths.

The official photo was snapped by Ross Halfin, the longtime photographer of the group and it feels like a class photo as the musicians line up on different levels of risers. Have a look below:
