New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Black Sabbath is a very special collection of talent launched in Birmingham, England in the late 1960s. A black-and-white photo taken 45 years ago serves as one of their signature snapshots. All four youthful and talented members can be seen staring directly into the camera, confident in their talents.
Nearly 5 decades later, they are officially touring for the last time, wrapping a ribbon around an experience that 99% bands who sprang up in the United States and Great Britain in the last 50 years could only dream of.
The tour will begin in January 20 of next year with a show at the CenturyLink Center in Omaha, Nebraska. From there, it will weave up into Canada for a handful of shows in the final days of the month and early February before a West Coast swing in the following weeks.

Sabbath has released 19 albums in total, and they have staged nearly twice as many tours. Most of them have touched down in two or more continents, and this upcoming global jaunt will be no exception. When the band announced that the title of this tour would be "The End," it became clear that they intended to make these their final live shows.
