 Ozzy Osbourne has revealed he can no longer walk as he heads towards his final live performance. The 76-year-old made the admission in the news and social media, where he discussed what fans might be able to expect from his recently announced farewell show. “I have made it to 2025.

In the first week of February, Osbourne announced his final live performance, which will take place in his hometown of Birmingham, England, on July 5. The biggest headline is the inclusion of Black Sabbath, who will play their first show since Feb. 2017 and their first with the band’s original lineup since 2005. 

Sharon Osbourne has told The Sun Online that her husband, Ozzy Osbourne, struggles to walk amid his battle with Parkinson’s disease but that his singing voice is "as good as ever."

Back To The Beginning Concert

 Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, Pantera, Lamb Of God, Mastodon, Alice In Chains, Halestorm, Gojira, and many more are being announced. It will be a show to end all shows.

The event is also described as a charitable affair, with profits going towards the likes of Cure Parkinson’s, a UK charity working to end the disease that Osbourne was diagnosed with within 2019.

Ozzy's Parkinson's Condition

Ozzy was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2003. Following his fourth spinal surgery in September 2023, the Black Sabbath rocker was focused on his health and mobility. The "Crazy Train" singer also told critics to “f--- off” when it comes to his recent health battles.

Black Sabbath's Toni Iommi Thoughts On Final Show

Tony Iommi has broken his silence regarding Black Sabbath’s upcoming farewell performance. The founding member used social media to express feelings about the band’s last stand in their hometown.

Will This Be The Final Final Show For Ozzy

As the Black Sabbath song says,' Never Say Die." who knows? If this show works out, maybe a solo Ozzy farewell show could be put together. The odds are slim, but you never know with Ozzy. Don't count out him going into the recording studio. Ozzy loves it, and if it makes him happy, I, as a fan, will support it.
