YUNGBLUD Lands “Changes” Slot at Sabbath Farewell—With 48 Hours to Spare

RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE’s Tom Morello, acting as curator for BLACK SABBATH’s “Back To The Beginning” farewell event, lifts the curtain on a last-minute artistic shuffle. The show, which also doubles as Ozzy Osbourne’s swan song, nearly featured an entirely different vocalist for the iconic “Changes.”

According to Morello, only 48 hours before curtain time, YUNGBLUD wasn’t even slated to perform it. A behind-the-scenes pivot turned the spotlight his way—seemingly timed with the chaos such gigs inevitably promise.

Springsteen crashes Morello’s midday protest set with ‘Streets of Minneapolis’

Springsteen emerges unannounced, delivering his debut performance of “Streets of Minneapolis”—a barely veiled jab at border enforcement policies.

Morello grins through clenched teeth, declaring the crowd “outside agitators” as they chant “ICE Out now.” A litany of protest staples follows: “Killing in the Name,” “Cochise,” “This Land Is Your Land.”

Guitars protest ICE as Morello, Di Meola, Reilly, Rise Against hit Minnesota stage

All proceeds go to the families of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, who were killed by ICE agents. The event aligns music with protest, offering less spectacle and more statement on a frigid political backdrop.
