"We're in our seventies and late seventies, so you can only do so much": Tony Iommi reveals the songs Black Sabbath rehearsed but didn't play at Back To The Beginning

Iommi also admits to being concerned that the scheduling of Ozzy's solo set – immediately prior to Sabbath's performance –would mean that the Prince Of Darkness would be exhausted by the time he took to the stage for a second time. "And it was really a case of how long Ozzy could do it, because we didn't know – with him doing his own set, which I said to him I didn't think he should do – because I didn't want him to get burnt out by the time he'd come with us. "We raised a ton of money for a great cause, and so many great musicians and bands fans all over the world paid tribute to the all time greats."
