Tony Iommi has spoken publicly for the first time since Ozzy Osbourne’s passing and has reflected on Back to the Beginning farewell show, which took place weeks before his bandmate passed away.

As the news of the Prince of Darkness’ death broke on Tuesday (July 22), Iommi had said, “There won’t ever be another like him” during a short but touching social post. Now, speaking to UK broadcaster ITV, the guitarist whose hands helped forge heavy metal has further opened up.
