Former Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Jake E. Lee has revealed that Tom Morello instigated his impending reunion spot with The Prince of Darkness at the Back to the Beginning show because he couldn’t see it happening without him.

The historic metal event, which takes place at Villa Park stadium in Birmingham, England, next month will see Ozzy and Black Sabbath grace the stage for one last time, with a host of guest musicians starring across both sets.
