“Black Sabbath chronicle their triumphant final concert in the documentary The End of the End.
“The End of the End documents the metal icons' last gig – a sold-out hometown performance on February 4th at Birmingham's 16,000-seat Genting Arena. Along with behind-the-scenes banter and intimate personal anecdotes, director Dick Carruthers captured onstage footage of classic tracks and in-studio versions of material not featured on the tour.
“Though Ozzy Osbourne expressed some remorse that Black Sabbath said goodbye without founding drummer Bill Ward, the singer told Rolling Stone prior to the Birmingham gig that he was happy to "end it on an up note."
“‘We're definitely finishing in Birmingham,’ he said. "We're not going to re-form after five years and say, ‘Because of public demand …’ Black Sabbath has been up and down and 'round the mulberry bush so many times.’” - Rolling Stone
