Ozzy Osbourne discussed his plans for performing with Black Sabbath at his final show in July, stating, “I’m not planning on doing a set with Black Sabbath, but I am doing little bits and pieces with them.”
The event, titled “Back to the Beginning,” will feature a reunion of Black Sabbath on July 5 in Birmingham, England, with Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, and other bands also performing.
Osbourne, who has battled health issues, including a Parkinson’s diagnosis, expressed his determination to continue performing, saying, “I am trying to get back on my feet.”
Reflecting on his condition, Osbourne expressed gratitude for being alive and acknowledged the challenges he faces, stating, “I may be moaning that I can’t walk, but I look down the road and there’s people that didn’t do half as much as me and didn’t make it.”
Sharon Osbourne, Ozzy’s wife and manager, confirmed his emotional return to performing and highlighted his resilience despite the progressive nature of Parkinson’s disease, stating, “Parkinson’s is a progressive disease. It’s not something you can stabilize. It affects different parts of the body, and it’s affected his legs. But his voice is as good as it’s ever been.”
