<\/a>It\u2019s gonna be shaken because the prodigal son returns\u2026 to say goodbye.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOzzy Osbourne, the Prince of Darkness, will play his final concert in the city that saw him born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And it won\u2019t be a show. This will be an epic funeral\u2026 without death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A sacred ceremony where the rock will cry standing up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because a musician doesn\u2019t leave. There goes a sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A voice that wasn\u2019t perfect, but unique. A soul that lived in excess, but lived to tell it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And this Saturday, in front of thousands, he will not sing: he will summon all his demons to embrace them one last time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Birmingham will see the end of a cycle that will never be repeated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There will be no another Ozzy. There will never be another time like His.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The industry will be able to produce clones, influencers and holograms\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But a monster as real, as human and as unforgettable as him will never be born again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A dark light goes out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Heavy metal\u2019s last great fire goes out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And when we see him come up on stage, wobbling but invincible, we\u2019ll know:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You don\u2019t say goodbye to an artist. A legend has been consecrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The rest\u2026 is history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Not the weather, not the traffic.
