The Ozzy Osbourne-led band, which also consists of guitarist and bassist Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler, announced their farewell tour with a video for their fans.

A voiceover says, “It’s the beginning of the end. It started nearly five decades ago with a crack of thunder, a distant bell ringing and then that monstrous riff that shook the earth. The heaviest rock sound ever heard.”

The video ends with a promise that this tour will “surpass all previous tours with their most mesmerizing production ever.”

Los Angeles Times reports the band’s drummer, Bill Ward, will not be joining them on their farewell tour after a falling out with Osbourne.

The first date will be on Jan. 20 in Omaha, Nebraska and the North American leg will conclude on Feb. 25 in New York City.

Osbourne hinted at this farewell tour earlier this year, saying, “We’re disbanding the name and everything. They don’t want to tour anymore. I get it. But I love it.”
