The night shook with the weight of history.
Robert Plant and John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin stood alongside Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, and Ian Paice of Deep Purple. With them came Geezer Butler, Tony Iommi, and Bill Ward of Black Sabbath. Three forces of rock — titans once separated by time, rivalry, and fate — now stood shoulder to shoulder, bound by a single purpose.
Together, they unveiled what the world will remember as one of the most profound announcements in music history: Circle of Life Tour 2025.
This is no ordinary reunion. It is a thunderous farewell. A gathering of giants who have chosen to honor a brother whose voice defined both darkness and light. Ozzy Osbourne — the Prince of Darkness, the soul of Sabbath, the man whose howl reshaped heavy metal — is gone. His passing on July 22, 2025, left a silence so deep it felt unbearable, a wound carved into the heart of rock. Now, that silence will be met with music, grief transformed into fire, memory reborn as sound.
The Circle of Life Tour is more than a spectacle. It is a rite of passage, a prayer, a final chapter written by those who stood with Ozzy, who carried the same stages, who understood that rock was never just entertainment but rebellion, survival, and brotherhood.
Each performance promises to be an act of remembrance. Every chord struck will rise as a prayer. Every roar from the crowd will echo as a tribute. The music that once roared from arenas will now carry new weight: not just celebration, but farewell.
The idea of uniting Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, and Black Sabbath was once the stuff of fantasy. For decades, fans dreamed of such a convergence, but history, egos, and time kept them apart. Now, in grief, they have found each other. The rivalries of the past have dissolved into reverence. What remains is unity — a brotherhood forged not by success, but by loss.
“This isn’t about us,” one of them said at the announcement. “It’s about him. About Ozzy. About the fire he lit in all of us.”
The setlists are being guarded like sacred texts, but speculation runs rampant. Will Zeppelin’s “Kashmir” bleed into Sabbath’s “Iron Man”? Could Gillan’s voice rise on “Paranoid”? Might Plant and Iommi share a stage in “War Pigs”? Fans dare to imagine the impossible: the songs of three empires of rock colliding in a single storm.
The tour is scheduled to begin in late 2025, sweeping across Europe and North America before concluding in Birmingham, the birthplace of Sabbath, where Ozzy’s legend began. That final night, in the city that gave him to the world, the Circle of Life will close — not in silence, but in song.
For fans, this is more than an event. It is a pilgrimage. A chance to honor not just Ozzy, but the music that carried them through decades of rebellion and survival. For the musicians, it is a promise: that the flame will not go out, that even in absence, the brotherhood remains. The circle closes, but it does not end. It burns still, in memory, in thunder, in song. For Ozzy. For rock. Forever.
