20th June, 2025

Original Black Sabbath lineup to perform for the first time in 20 years

Customised Sport Chief RT & matching Gibson SG Standard guitar celebrate Black Sabbath’s legacy

To be signed backstage for the charity auction by all-star performers

Indian Motorcycle and Krazy Horse have donated a one-of-a-kind, customised Sport Chief RT for a high-profile charity auction set to coincide with the upcoming ‘Back to the Beginning’ show — the long-awaited, all-star event marking the first performance in over 20 years of the original Black Sabbath lineup: Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward.

Taking place on Saturday, 5 July, at Villa Park in Black Sabbath’s hometown of Birmingham, ‘Back to the Beginning’ will be a landmark celebration of the band’s groundbreaking legacy and their enduring influence on rock and metal music. Featuring sets from iconic bands such as Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Gojira, Halestorm, Alice In Chains, Lamb Of God, Anthrax, and Mastodon, as well as a supergroup of famous musicians from across the world, the show will mark the historic stage return for the original four members as Ozzy Osbourne performs a short solo set before joining Black Sabbath for his final bow, making this one of the most significant live music events of the decade.

All profits from the ‘Back to the Beginning’ show and auction will be donated in support of the charities Cure Parkinson’s, Birmingham Children’s Hospital, and Acorn Children’s Hospice, a Children’s Hospice supported by Aston Villa.

To commemorate the occasion and support the event’s charities, the Indian Sport Chief RT will be expertly customised by a renowned customiser and Indian Motorcycle dealer, Krazy Horse. Paying homage to the legendary career of Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath, Krazy Horse will infuse the Sport Chief RT with design elements and thematic touches that reflect the iconic imagery and rebellious spirit of Ozzy and Sabbath. Complementing this unique offering, Gibson has contributed a Gibson SG Standard guitar for Krazy Horse to apply a matching custom paint scheme.

In addition to being specially customised for the event, the Sport Chief RT will be signed backstage during the show by the all-star lineup of legendary rock performers, making this custom bike a collector’s dream and a powerful symbol of music-meets-machine culture.

Alongside the custom Sport Chief RT, Indian Motorcycle will also be present backstage with a selection of motorcycles to be part of an unforgettable backstage experience for the performers, VIP guests, and industry legends.
