Guitarist Tommy Iommi has claimed that Black Sabbath’s performance in Hyde Park on July 4th will be the band’s last live performance.

Speaking to Metal Hammer about the band’s upcoming gig as part of British Summer Time, Iommi stated that “It could be the last ever Sabbath show”. Formed in Birmingham in 1968, Black Sabbath have remained one of the most popular British rock bands over the past half-century.

Though there may have been several line-up changes throughout the years, Iommi has been the only ever-present member and he makes up one third of the current set-up alongside Ozzy Osbourne and Geezer Butler. He completed treatment for lymphoma in March and though things may be looking up, Iommi states that he is at a stage now where [he has] no support, which means [he has] to see whether the cancer is coming back or if it’s still there or what”.
