Black Sabbath - 50 Years Details Revealed

(hennemusic) Black Sabbath are sharing more details about a 50th anniversary exhibition coming to their UK hometown of Birmingham this summer. "Black Sabbath - 50 Years" will be hosted at the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery between June 22 - September 18.

Presented by Home Of Metal - a local organization that celebrates music from Birmingham and the Black Country - the exhibition aims to explore how the music of four working-class lads captured the hearts and minds of fans globally while paying homage to the fan's devotion and documenting that fifty-year relationship.

"It's an honor to be a part of the Home Of Metal," says Ozzy Osbourne. "I am just a guy from Birmingham who's been blessed to have had such dedicated fans throughout my career. Like I've always said 'I am nothing without them.'"

"I've always maintained that Sabbath fans are the most loyal and honest and most independently minded of all," proclaims bassist Geezer Butler. "I thank each and every one of them for their incredible support over the years."

"Fans are our lifeblood," adds guitarist Tony Iommi, "they've always been there to support us."

"You're a Sabbath fan, and everything about you is beautiful and worthwhile," states drummer Bill Ward. "I'm so grateful to have played for you, and met you in the heart and soul of each song. Stay safe, be good to yourselves, and rock forever and ever." Read more here.
