Tony Iommi has admitted he and his reunited Black Sabbath bandmates have a case of the pre-match jitters ahead of tomorrow's historic final show in Villa Park, Birmingham. The heavy metal icon will take to the stage with all three of his original Sabbath bandmates - Ozzy Osbourne, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward - for the first time in 20 years and for the last time forever as the foursome seek to say a final goodbye to fans.
"This is totally different from anything else we've done," he tells the BBC in a new interview. "You know, we've played to 300,000 people, but this is nerve-racking. We're playing in our home town, we've got all these bands on with us, and we haven't played together for 20 years!"
