Ghost’s Tobias Forge has revealed that he planned to sing a completely different song at Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne’s Back To The Beginning farewell gig.

On the day, Tobias sang the title track of Ozzy’s classic 1983 album Bark At The Moon in Papa V Perpetua mask and white jacket – but that song wasn’t his first choice.
