Ozzy starts rehearsals for Black Sabbath's farewell gig
Ozzy Osbourne and his Black Sabbath bandmates have started rehearsing for their final show next month. The British rockers' original line-up of Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward - are reuniting for the last time at the Back To The Beginning show at Birmingham's Villa Park on July 5. The group took to X to share a photo of Ozzy, Geezer and Bill, and revealed: "Rehearsals are underway for Back To The Beginning: Ozzy's Final Bow." The gig will mark the first time that Black Sabbath's original line-up will have played together for 20 years but Osbourne insists that it will be the definitive end for the Paranoid rockers. The singer, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2019, told Mojo magazine: "After this show, I'm going home, closing the door and will look back upon the great career I've had. "But I'm done, done, done! You gotta know when to call it quits." Osbourne confessed that he would be feeling anxious even if was just a "regular gig". "I was born nervous. Right now, I'm feeling grateful and proud and I'm sure I'll be feeling dozens more emotions on the day of the show." Osbourne will play his own short set before joining the band, and other guests include Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Anthrax and Alice In Chains. All profits will be split equally between Cure Parkinson's, Birmingham Children's Hospital and Acorn Children's Hospice.

Ozzy Osbourne starts Black Sabbath rehearsals for farewell gig
Black Sabbath have started rehearsing for their farewell gig. The Paranoid rockers' original lineup - made up of Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward - are reuniting for the last time at the Back To The Beginning show at Birmingham's Villa Park on July 5. The group took to X on Tuesday (24.06.25) to share a photo of Ozzy, Geezer and Bill, and revealed: "Rehearsals are underway for Back To The Beginning: Ozzy's Final Bow." The three men are smiling in the snap, while Ozzy - who has been open about his health struggles in recent years - is holding a cane as they sit backstage. Tony wasn't in the photo, but he's still set to be part of the historic show. The gig will mark the first time that Black Sabbath's original line-up will have played together for 20 years but Ozzy insists that it will be the definitive end for the Paranoid rockers. The heavy metal icon, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2019, told Mojo magazine: "After this show, I'm going home, closing the door and will look back upon the great career I've had. "But I'm done, done, done! You gotta know when to call it quits." The War Pigs singer confessed that he would be feeling anxious even if was just a "regular gig". He added: "Even if it was a regular gig, I would be a nervous wreck. I was born nervous. "Right now, I'm feeling grateful and proud and I'm sure I'll be feeling dozens more emotions on the day of the show." The lineup will alsoi feature the likes of Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Gojira, Halestorm, Alice In Chains, and Lamb of God. Guitarist Tony admitted there are "so many other moving parts" to the upcoming spectacle. He told Music Week: "This would be a big, monumental thing if it all comes good. The worrying thing for me is the unknown. "We don't know what's going to happen. Normally, when we'd tour, we'd rehearse and run through the thing for a while, and it's just us. But with this event there are so many other moving parts."

From trade nights to Travis Scott: Fanatics Fest NYC Recap
NEW YORK, NEW YORK - AUGUST 17: Fans attends Trade Night at the Fanatics Fest NYC 2024 at Jacob Javits Center on August 17, 2024 in New York City. (Photo byfor Fanatics) This past week was a major one for Mantel as we touched down at Fanatics Fest in NYC. With a packed schedule and a ton of momentum behind the hobby, we hit the ground running—and it didn't disappoint. Here were the highlights of my week. Wednesday – Mojo x Bleecker Kickoff Things kicked off with a private event hosted by Mojo Sports and Mantel at Bleecker. If you're unfamiliar, Mojo is one of the key voices in the hobby right now . In partnership with Bleecker Trading and Mojo Sports, Mantel hosted an invite only event before Fanatics Fest kicked off. We had pizza from L'Industrie (my pick for best in NYC), and collectors brought the heat. One collection that stood out was a PSA 1 showcase , featuring cards with stories that go well beyond their price tags. Advertisement The big moment of the night came when Steve Aoki showed up. He's no stranger to the hobby and brought the energy. Within minutes, the room filled up, and yes, he did his signature cake toss. Mojo took the hit like a champ. You could say Fanatics Fest week officially started with a bang. Thursday – Trade Night Chaos We were up early setting up the Mantel booth, and by evening, I was back at Bleecker for King of the Kards' trade night. Mantel sets up its booth for Fanatics Fest in NYC. It was absolute mayhem—in the best way. Tables filled, deals flying. The biggest move of the night? King of the Kards dropped $19,000 on a haul that included a Patrick Mahomes Prizm RC, Josh Allen Donruss Optic RC, LeBron James Topps Chrome Refractor RC, and a 2006 LeBron Signature Shots Auto. Advertisement But the most memorable card was a custom Jeff Bezos 'Employee of the Month' card. Not real, but definitely hilarious. The hobby never stops finding new ways to surprise you—especially on nights like this. A custom Jeff Bezos "Employee of the Month" card seen at Fanatics Fest. Friday – The Show Begins Friday was stacked. I'll spare you the full play-by-play and stick to the two moments that stood out. The Panel: Michael Rubin, Tom Brady, and Travis Scott took the stage, and the crowd was loud. Brady even joked about getting a rare warm welcome in NYC. Rubin broke down his mindset on building brands and collaborations, stating, 'I love partnering with entrepreneurial people who move the needle.' He credited Travis as one of those. Travis, on the other hand, said it simply: 'Everything I collab with are things I loved as a kid.' Advertisement Then came a surprise: Mark Zuckerberg appeared on screen to announce a Meta x Oakley collab with new smart glasses. He called on Travis to perform, and the panel turned into a live concert. Travis performed with the new glasses on and the crowd went off. The Vince Carter Moment: As someone from Toronto, this one hit differently. Vince spoke about his journey, his jersey retirement, and even finishing his degree while playing Game 7 in the playoffs. It was raw and thoughtful—something I didn't expect in that setting. Legend then. Legend now. NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JUNE 20: Vince Carter speaks onstage at Fanatics Fest NYC 2025 at Javits Center on June 20, 2025 in New York City. (Photo by) (Slaven Vlasic via Getty Images) Saturday – Hidden Gems Saturday kept the momentum going. I caught the Brady x Kevin Hart taping for Cold As Balls and then spent more time walking the floor. NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JUNE 21: (L-R) Tom Brady and Kevin Hart speak onstage during the "Cold As Balls" stage at Fanatics Fest NYC 2025 at Javits Center on June 21, 2025 in New York City. (Photo byfor Fanatics) (Kevin Mazur via Getty Images) The highlight? Talking to The UFC Card Father, who had the biggest UFC card collection I've ever seen. His centerpiece: a $1.2 million Joe Rogan 1/1 cut auto by Upper Deck. The card doesn't say UFC—just 'comedian'—because of a licensing issue with Topps. You learn something new every day. Final Thoughts I flew out Saturday night and missed the final day, but even with an early exit, the week over-delivered. Between the big names, obscure cards, wild trade night stories, and passionate collectors, Fanatics Fest felt like a tipping point for the hobby. The energy is there. The culture is evolving. And this is only the beginning. Your collection deserves a community. Download Mantel today.
