BLACK SABBATH EARN LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT GRAMMY!

After a year of closing doors, finalizing his last tour dates and saying good-bye, Ozzy and the rest of Black Sabbath will be back together to receive a major honour…

The boys played their final show together February 4, 2017. After 40 years Ozzy said;

“this is it, it’s definitely run its course”.

Then Ozzy started planning his final solo shows, which will take him around the world in 2019. The closest stop to us is June 20th in Hamilton.

Now the boys will all be together again May 11th, when Black Sabbath will receive a Lifetime Achievement Grammy!

Also set to be honored are-George Clinton and Parliament-Funkadelic, Sam and Dave, Dionne Warwick, Julio Iglesias, Donny Hathaway and Billy Eckstine.

The Academy had this to say about Black Sabbath;

The awards are given to artists who have made outstanding contributions … to the field of recording. From their power riffs to their dark, gothic imagery, Black Sabbath arguable invented the heavy metal signposts and influenced every heavy rock band that followed.
