Birmingham has 106 days until #BlackSabbath say goodbye at the greatest rock show in history
It'll be a huge embarrassment if the world comes to see Sabbath and their birthplace, the spiritual home of Brum music & Heavy Metal looks like this.
Will Brum civic leaders rescue The Crown?

Silence from Lisa Nandy on saving the UK's oldest working cinema from Glenbrook Property
Silence from Birmingham City Council on saving the birthplace of Black Sabbath & Heavy Metal from Toyoko Inn
One street. Two iconic venues at risk from greed. But who cares about Birmingham I guess?

Today Birmingham Council will decide on giving BlackSabbath the freedom of the city of Birmingham. 🦇🤘🏼
We hope councillors will also use it to point out that a genuine, lasting Sabbath legacy MUST include saving The Crown. ToyokoINN_JP don't care about it. Start the CPO!

Sabbath were celebrating the release of their debut single 'Evil Woman'.
This is the state of The Crown today...🤦♂️

Glenbrook Property closed the UK's oldest working cinema (1909) to demolish it for flats.

The Electric Cinema's 115th Birthday is on 27th December.
There will be no party because property developers want to demolish it for a block of "luxury" flats.
We legally can't suggest you blue tack a load of Birthday Cards, Balloons & Bunting to the boards over Christmas.
