The ticket proceeds will help three major charity organizations, including Cure Parkinson\u2019s, Birmingham Children\u2019s Hospital, and Acorn Children\u2019s Hospice<\/p>\n
\n\tNot only did Black Sabbath<\/a> and Ozzy Osbourne<\/a> put on one hell of a historic show for their final performance<\/a>, they managed to pull off a humanitarian feat as well. The Back to the Beginning show raised nearly $200 million dollars in charity funds for three separate organizations, according to Rage Against the Machine\u2019s Tom Morello, who also acted as music director for the all-day event.<\/p>\n \n\tMorello shared the good news on Instagram. \u201cWe set out to not just create the greatest day in the history of heavy metal,\u201d Morello wrote in his caption. \u201cWe raised a ton of money for a great cause and so many great musicians and bands and fans all over the world paid tribute to the all time greats,\u201d the musician added.<\/p>\n \t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n \n\t40,000 attendees descended upon Osbourne\u2019s and Black Sabbath\u2019s old stomping grounds with 5.8 million people streaming the concert online, as reported by The Guardian<\/a>. With every member of the star-studded lineup playing the festival pro bono, all proceeds went to charity. BBC<\/a> reported the organizations receiving the funds are Cure Parkinson\u2019s, Birmingham Children\u2019s Hospital, and Acorn Children\u2019s Hospice. Both Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne have supported Birmingham Children\u2019s Hospital in the past; while Cure Parkinson\u2019s is a cause the pair hold close to their hearts after Ozzy\u2019s 2019 year diagnosis.<\/p>\n \n\tWhile the charities have yet to receive a breakdown of numbers, each organization has been notified of their good fortune and already on their way to praising the Prince of Darkness. Sheeba Ali, a fundraising manager at Birmingham Children\u2019s Hospital\u2019s charity told BBC, \u201cIt was a brilliant surprise and we\u2019re over the moon.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The ticket proceeds will help three major charity organizations, including Cure Parkinson\u2019s, Birmingham Children\u2019s Hospital, and Acorn Children\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":50588,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[33111,171,16513,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-50587","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-black-sabbath","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-ozzy-osbourne","11":"tag-united-states","12":"tag-unitedstates","13":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114821616740975113","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50587","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50587"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50587\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/50588"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50587"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50587"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50587"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
