Genuinely Love This Album Sm - Tumblr Posts

September 28, 1978 marks 45 years since the release of “Never Say Die!” by BLACK SABBATH. It would be the last album with Ozzy on vocals for quite a spell. From what we know today, it’s a miracle that Ozzy lasted long enough to complete it. I always say that the firing of Ozzy after the “Never Say Die” tour was in retrospect a good thing. It would lead to the birth of two of the greatest albums, not just in 1980 but of all-time, in “Heaven and Hell” and “Blizzard of Ozz.”

Of course, the tour in support of “Never Say Die” had an opening act that featured a little backyard party band from Pasadena, California that you may have heard of… VAN HALEN. $7.00 tickets.
