Ozzy Osbourne is devastated to announce that his upcoming final performance may not be up to his usual standards. He regrets that this news will disappoint his fans. Unfortunately, he has no other alternative.
Rock legend Ozzy Osbourne is too ill to perform a full set with his band Black Sabbath at the upcoming final concert in July. The Daily Mail reports that Ozzy’s ongoing health struggle and battle with Parkinson’s Disease has affected his mobility so severely that he will only be able to perform “little bits and pieces” at a time.
Osbourne recently spoke out, admitting that July’s farewell gig, Back To The Beginning’s show, will have a different feel. It won’t be the usual full-throttle Prince of Darkness show. “I am doing what I can where I feel comfortable,” stated Ozzy.
The all-day charity event heavy metal show is set to take place at Villa Park. Proceeds from the event will be donated to several Parkinson-related charities, including Cure Parkinson’s, the Birmingham Children’s Hospital, and Acorn Children’s Hospice, a Children’s Hospice supported by Aston Villa.
The event also showcases more than a dozen bands, including Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Gojira, and Anthrax. However, the main attraction will be Ozzy Osbourne’s performance. He is scheduled to perform for the first time in more than two decades with the original members from Black Sabbath.
Ozzy Osbourne’s Health Continues In Rapid Decline
Fans of Ozzy Osbourne are well aware that the rocker has been dealing with crippling health issues for many years. Ozzy’s wife, Sharon Osbourne recently stated that Ozzy was very excited to perform again. However, it will be a bittersweet moment for the singer.
“Ozzy didn’t have a chance to say goodbye to his friends, to his fans, and he feels there’s no been no full stop,” she said. “This is his full stop” states Sharon. Ozzy adds, “If I can’t continue doing shows on a regular basis. I just want to be well enough to do one show where I can say, ‘Hi guys, thanks so much for my life.’
As previously reported, Ozzy Osbourne claims he has come to terms with the fact that his time on earth is limited. Throughout the years, the aging rocker has been plagued with multiple serious health issues that have left him obsessing over his impending death.
The singer struggles daily with crippling pain, and walking and standing have become a significant issue in his day-to-day life. Those closest to the singer fear Osbourne is in no shape to perform. They claim they are afraid that if Ozzy pushes himself to perform, it could be the death of him.
Ozzy Osbourne is known for often saying that his dream demise would be to drop dead on stage. He refers to the thought as a “crowd pleaser.” The singer appears determined to go out in a blaze of glory. Fans only hope that the final concert won’t be the day that Ozzy Osbourne gets his final wish.
