Mr Rumney, who plays in a band called Zero, said Black Sabbath had been a "big part" of his life since he was 12. He and his bandmates paid tribute to the momentous day Earth became Black Sabbath with a blue plaque in Workington in 2022.

On Thursday, July 24, the alt-rock musician — whose real name is Dominic Harrison — shared an Instagram post where he revealed his plans to play Black Sabbath's 1972 track "Changes" each night "for the rest of my life" following the rock icon's death on Tuesday, July 22 at age 76.
