Billy Corgan, American guitarist and man from SMASHING PUMPKINSRecently congratulated the final concert of Black Sabbath which was held at Villa Park on Saturday July 5.
Corgan went to social networks to share an emotional post, writing: “I heard Black Sabbath for the first time on my uncle’s stereo about 50 years ago. It was therefore surreal to stand on a football field with 45,000 forts to attend the end of this large institutional group which touched me personally. ”
He also honored the architect of the show, Sharon Osbourne, saying: “Music is, of course, the soundtrack of our lives, but yesterday in my opinion was something really special. As a three-dimensional soundtrack was designed in real time. Everything to celebrate this return for the group formerly known as earth. ”
Corgan’s tribute was ended with a poetic farewell: “Each big journey has tests and tribulations, tragedies and a surprise. This is where magic is, there, I find myself tears. I both shouted yesterday in a pure exultation to be in the right place at the right time, and I was silently. “
“We have music, and we have them in our hearts. You don’t need to be a musician to understand. But that helps, at least if you try to decode what is elusive in the cosmos.”
Finally, he added: “Now the group is both here and not here; With us, and yet disappeared. As it should be. “
For those who poured, Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath marked their farewell to a final concert, a stadium program all day entitled Back at the startIn Villa Park in Birmingham, England.
