Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler announced on their tour preparations behind the scenes that "when this tour concludes, it will truly be the end," according to the International Business Times. Bill Ward, the band's drummer, will not be with them during the final tour.
Osbourne also highlighted that unlike other bands saying farewell then having another reunion gig, Black Sabbath's would really be the final tour after 50 years in the metal scene.
"It's not one of these final tours where we give it five years and do another one. This is it for Black Sabbath. It's a once-in-a-lifetime because there ain't gonna be another Black Sabbath tour," Osbourne said, according to DBTechno.com.
Iommi noted in the video which songs they will be playing.
"We're gonna run through some of the newer old ones that we haven't played for a while," Iommi added.
During Friday's initial show at the United Center in Chicago, Black Sabbath performed 16 songs such as Into the Void, Hand of Doom, and Paranoid, according to The Chicago Tribune.
