Iconic \u201890s Band Reveals Why They Missed Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath\u2019s Final Concert<\/a> originally appeared on Parade<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath\u2019s final concert was filled with some of the biggest names in rock, but iconic \u201890s band Soundgarden<\/a> was surprisingly missing from the lineup<\/a>, especially after Osbourne\u2019s wife, Sharon Osbourne<\/a>, hinted that the \u201cBlack Hole Sun\u201d group would be there. However, the group has now addressed their absence and it all came down to scheduling.<\/p>\n

\u201cCongratulations to Black Sabbath on the grand and final pealing of their vesper bells!\u201d Soundgarden\u2019s official Instagram<\/a> profile captioned a picture of the group posing with Osbourne. \u201cThank you for an astounding career that provided us and your legion of fans with a lifetime of beauty, horror, love, power, happiness, melancholy and a profoundly sublime, yet viscerally rocking transcendence informed by both doom and hope. Your majestic brilliance has inspired greatness in scores of other bands, musicians and songwriters. However, the crown will forever remain yours!\u201d<\/p>\n

The group added that they were \u201cvery grateful to Tony [Iommi], Ozzy, Geezer [Butler] and Bill [Ward], as well as Sharon Osbourne and music director, Tom Morello for the honor and invitation to Soundgarden to perform at the Back to the Beginning festival,\u201d and said that they were \u201csuper bummed\u201d about not being able to perform at the concert, which took place on July 5 in Birmingham, England.<\/p>\n

They concluded, \u201c[We] regret that we were unable to coordinate the schedules of our individual and collective projects to attend and contribute to the festival. The warmth, love and support from the Black Sabbath team has been a continuing source of encouragement and strength throughout our career.\u201d<\/p>\n

Soundgarden, along with most of the rock world, has been longtime fans of Osbourne and Black Sabbath. In 1992, the group sang a live version of Black Sabbath\u2019s \u201cInto the Void\u201d during one of their performances in San Diego. Their studio version of the tune \u201cInto the Void (Sealth)\u201d even went on to earn them a Grammy nomination when they included it on their 1992 Louder Than Love tour companion CD Satanoscillatemymetallicsonatas.<\/p>\n
