Ozzy Osbourne will perform the final Black Sabbath reunion set at his own pace.
On the SiriusXM channel Ozzy’s Boneyard, the famous musician confirmed during his Ozzy Speaks segment that he will not be doing a full set with Black Sabbath for their last reunion show in July, headlined “Back to the Beginning.”
“I’m not planning on doing a full set with Black Sabbath, but I am doing little bits and pieces with them,” Ozzy, 76, told Billboard on Sunday, February 16. “I am doing what I can, where I feel comfortable.”
“I am trying to get back on my feet,” the “Crazy Train” singer explained. “When you wake up in the morning, you just leap out of bed. I need to rebalance myself, yet I am not dead. “I’m still doing things.”
Ozzy is determined to perform for fans despite numerous health setbacks, even if it means lowering expectations.
This admission comes less than two weeks after his wife Sharon informed The Sun that he is unable to walk due to Parkinson’s disease, which he was diagnosed with in 2003. “He’s very happy to be coming back and very emotional about this,” she told the newspaper.

“Parkinson’s disease is progressing. It cannot be stabilized.” It affects different parts of the body, including his legs,” Sharon, 72, explained. “But his voice is as good as it’s ever been.”
Black Sabbath announced their farewell show, which would take place on July 5 at Birmingham’s Villa Park, in February.
“It’s time to begin anew…” “It’s time for me to give back to where I was born,” Ozzy stated in a statement. “How fortunate I am to accomplish it with the assistance of people I like. Birmingham is the real home of metal. Birmingham is forever.”
Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Gojira, Halestorm, Alice in Chains, Lamb of God, Anthrax, and Mastodon will all perform with Black Sabbath on stage.
Slash from Guns N’ Roses, Billy Corgan from the Smashing Pumpkins, Jonathan Davis from Korn, Fred Durst from Limp Bizkit, Wolfgang Van Halen, and Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine will all perform as a super band during the show.
The revenues from the reunion performance will go to Cure Parkinson’s, Birmingham Children’s Hospital, and Acorn Children’s Hospice. Tickets are now on sale through Live Nation.
