“Heavy music is reborn, but the media ignore it”

The day Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath will keep their farewell concerts on the occasion of “Back to the Beginning”, which will be held on 5 July at Villa Park, in Birmingham. While the “Prince of Darkness” is currently engaged in an “intense training” in view of the event, Ozzy’s wife and manager, Sharon, never misses an opportunity to tell the approach of the concert.

In a new interview with “Music Week”, Sharon Osbourne told what is going on behind the scenes of “Back to the Beginning” and, in addition to sharing an update on her husband’s health conditions, he also offered a personal reading of the current metal scene by stating that the Heavy bands, in his opinion, are experiencing a real rebirth. Too bad that, Sharon said, they are always ignored by the media.

In addition to bringing Ozzy Ozy Osbourne together with the historical formation of the “Paranoid” band, formed together with Tony Iommi, Bill Ward and Geezer Butler, “Back to the Beginning” will see the leading artists of the heaviest genre perform, from Metallica to Slayer, passing through the Panther, Lamb of God, Tool, Mastodon, Alice in Chains, Guns, Guns. N ‘Roses and many others. The cast also includes recent flagship artists of the current metal scene, such as Sleep Token and Ghost. According to Sharon Osbourne, despite a new recovery, the genre has never received the attention it deserves.

“As for the media, Heavy music is not popular,” said Ozzy’s wife and manager:

“It has never been, even if I believe that the eighties were the moment when it was more popular. The media are not at all writing that today there is a real return to this kind of music, with bands that fill stadiums all over the world. It is not talked about, simply because it is not ‘fashion’ at this moment. They focus on all the pop star in circulation. They do. but it is like a box of dolls, all the same, made with the mold.

During the chat with “Music Week” on the awaited event of Black Sabbath, Sharon explained that adding other dates in addition to the “Back to the Beginning” event is not a practicable option: “It is impossible”, said Sharon Osbourne in the July edition of the British magazine: “Organizing such an event in the summer, which is the most intense period for the festivals in the whole of Europe … managed to involve for a single day was incredible, but it would not have been possible to replicate it for two days “.

Fornian then updates on Ozzy’s health conditions, his wife said: “Ozzy works with his physiotherapist every day. He is really going well, in reality. Her first thought in life is fans, so he is working hard to be ready for them, to make sure that this show is the perfect way to close the circle”.
