Sharon Osbourne Strikes Again: Band Cut from ‘Back To The Beginning’ Line-Up

The devil works hard, but Sharon Osbourne works harder.

Sharon Osbourne has always been kinda salty. I mean, we all remember that time she orchestrated the attack that saw people pelting Iron Maiden with eggs. So finding out that she’s gone to the extent of pulling a band from Ozzy Osbourne’s farewell tour is hardly surprising.

In an interview with Metal Hammer, it’s been revealed that Ozzy’s wife and manager pulled a band from their farewell show due to some issues she had with a band manager.

She tells Metal Hammer,

“I had a huge, huge to-do with a manager over this celebration for Ozzy and Sabbath. And it was probably the worst way I’ve felt in years. And I don’t care what this person says about me, thinks about it, because he doesn’t know me. And he’s now going around making up bullshit lies because I threw his band off the bill.”

Yikes…She continues:

“I don’t care what people say. Because do you know what? I don’t love them. I care about people who love me, what they say about me. You can’t care what an industry says, because you don’t love them, so how can it hurt you? It doesn’t.”

It hasn’t yet been revealed which band she’s pulled, but I can’t help but think, what does that manager’s band have to do with this feud? It seems pretty shady to pull a band, because you hate their manager… Sacrificing a major opportunity over something they aren’t included in…

Alas. Back to the Beginning commences Saturday, July 5, at Villa Park in Birmingham, UK, but in case you missed it, Black Sabbath has recently announced a live stream, which you can purchase tickets for here.

There has not been an updated poster as of yet, but the below is what we’re currently working with.
