Halestorm frontwoman Lzzy Hale has shared details about the upcoming Final Black Sabbath Show in a SiriusXM interview. The event will feature a supergroup of performers and is currently in its planning stages.
“We got the email from Sharon Osbourne. And I didn’t answer for like a day. ‘Cuz I’m like, ‘Oh my God, is this real?’ And then Tom Morello called me,” Hale revealed.
“So as of right now, we know what we’re doing. Some originals, and also we are doing covers of Black Sabbath. And I’ve been asked to be included in the supergroup with everybody,” she continued. “But I understand, like just from Tom Morello’s voice and everything, it’s really hard, man. I don’t know why he took on the job. Because it must be terrible trying to organize everybody just to get all these together.”
“We all have been in festivals. This is basically the ultimate festival in honor of Black Sabbath. But there’s all these casts, everybody wants a piece. There are like 30 guitar players who all want a solo,” Hale explained. “I don’t care whether it’s a mess or not. I’m just happy to be there. … It’s going to be a great time. The audience will be amazing.”
Hale’s participation represents a significant milestone for this historic metal music event.
