The earth shook with an announcement carved in fire and memory. Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler of Black Sabbath. Robert Plant and Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin. Ian Gillan and Ian Paice of Deep Purple. Legends who once walked separate paths, their music shaping different branches of rock’s vast tree, now stand united as one.
Together, they revealed a journey for the ages: ONE LAST RIDE 2026.
This is not just a tour. It is sacred. It is a prayer turned into thunder, a farewell that transforms every stage into an altar of remembrance. More than a lineup, more than a spectacle, it is a testament to the power of music to hold memory, to carry love, to keep the flame alive when words fail.
For these giants, the tour is not about reclaiming fame or reliving glory. It is about honoring the lives and legacies of those who are no longer here — bandmates, friends, brothers in sound, and loved ones who once stood by their side. Each night, each song will rise like a candle lit in the dark, burning with gratitude and grief, carrying remembrance into the sky.
For Black Sabbath, it is a farewell carved in loyalty to Ozzy Osbourne, the irreplaceable voice who left the world in 2025. His presence will not be absent — it will thunder through every riff Tony Iommi plays, pulse through every note Geezer Butler carries. Ozzy is gone, yet his shadow remains eternal, wrapped in the music that redefined heavy metal itself.
For Led Zeppelin, it is another chance to honor John Bonham, the drummer whose spirit still echoes in every thunderous beat. Page and Plant return not to reclaim youth, but to remind us that their fire is not a relic — it is eternal. For every fan who ever stood in the shadow of “Stairway to Heaven” or roared with “Kashmir,” this tour is more than nostalgia. It is remembrance in its purest form.
For Deep Purple, Ian Gillan and Ian Paice step forward carrying both triumph and tribute. They sing not only for the living, but for Jon Lord, their brother whose keys once turned hard rock into a cathedral of sound. His spirit, like so many others, will ride with them — proof that legends may pass, but they do not vanish.
The unity of these bands is staggering. Once, they were separated by rivalry, by genre, by time. In 2026, they ride together, not as competitors, but as brothers bound by loss, gratitude, and the knowledge that music is the one thing that defies death.
Every performance will be more than a concert. It will be a ritual. Every stage, an altar. Every song, a prayer. Fans will not merely listen — they will become part of something greater, joining in a living act of remembrance that stretches across generations.
This ride is not about fame. It is about love. It is about memory.
It is about the eternal bond that music creates between the living and the lost. The message is clear, carved in fire and carried in thunder: Thank you. For the years. For the music. For the light you brought into our lives. Forever honored. Forever alive.
