Black Sabbath Kicks Off Final Tour

Tonight Ozzy and company kick off their final Black Sabbath tour. The famous front man talks about how shocked he is about it lasting this long. While Geezer Butler puts focus on Tony Iommi feeling great and better every day. The band kicks off its final tour -- dubbed The End -- in Omaha, Nebraska. Original members Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler are joined by drummer Tommy Clufetos and keyboardist Adam Wakeman of Ozzy's solo band. Nobody's more surprised than Ozzy that Sabbath is still on the road. Ozzy Osbourne was shocked the Black Sabbath would last so long, "I can’t believe that it’s survived as long as it has. I remember thinking, ‘Oh, this should be good fun for a couple of years.‘ And when we did that ten years it was one thing, here we are nearly 50 years on the road. It’s been an amazing journey for us all.” One reason this tour will be the band's last is that guitarist Tony Iommi was treated for lymphoma between 2012 and 2014 and doesn't want to be on the road for long stretches anymore. He told Rolling Stone last September, "Don't get me wrong, I love gigging, It's all the traveling and the exhaustion that goes with it that's the problem." Bassist Geezer Butler tells us how Iommi's been feeling going into the tour. Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler on how guitarist Tony Iommi, who’s been battling cancer, is doing going into the tour, “He’s doing well. At rehearsals he was great. He doesn’t booze or smoke or anything like that. He’s keeping to what the doctor’s telling him. He’s changed his diet and everything else, y’know, so he’s looking after himself.“
