Ozzy Osbourne, the iconic frontman of Black Sabbath, is set to make his long-awaited return to the stage. His wife, Sharon Osbourne, has officially confirmed that he is currently planning his final farewell performances. The 75-year-old musician had previously cancelled tour dates with the band, sparking fears that he may never have the chance to say goodbye to his devoted fans. However, despite his recent health struggles, Ozzy is determined to give his fans a proper farewell and will be performing in Birmingham, his hometown, for his last hurrah.
Sharon, who has been married to Ozzy for 41 years, revealed that they are planning to do two final shows at Aston Villa's Birmingham stadium, Villa Park. She shared that Ozzy feels it is important to properly bid farewell to his fans, saying, "I have never said goodbye to my fans and I want to say goodbye properly." She also mentioned that despite his break from rock 'n' roll, Ozzy's voice remains "absolutely perfect" as he continues to take singing lessons.
Last year, Ozzy was forced to cancel his tour due to multiple surgeries that left him unable to travel. Fans were worried that they may never get the chance to see him perform again, but Sharon has reassured them that this is not the case. She praised Ozzy's talent and ability to draw people in, saying, "Even if you don't like his music, you can't help but like Ozzy."
In 2019, Ozzy suffered a bad fall which led to a decline in his health. Since then, he has been seen using a wheelchair and walking aids. He underwent several operations, with the final one taking place last year. After that, he made it clear that he could not go through any more surgeries, saying, "Regardless of the way it ends up after tomorrow, I'm not doing it anymore. I can't."
Describing the extent of his injuries, Ozzy shared on his podcast, The Osbournes, that his feet feel like they are tied to bricks when he walks. He also explained that two discs in his back and his shoulder muscles have separated from his skeleton, causing him to lean forward. Despite these challenges, Ozzy is still determined to perform for his fans.
In February, Ozzy announced the cancellation of his Europe and UK tour due to his ongoing health struggles. In a heartfelt statement, he revealed that he never imagined his touring days would come to an end like this. After three operations, stem cell treatments, and physical therapy sessions, his body remains physically weak. He expressed his disappointment that he is not able to do the tour, as his singing voice is still in good shape.
In March, Ozzy responded to rumors that he was on his "last legs," saying, "I'm f*****g not dying." He made it clear that he has been working hard to get back on his feet and is not giving up anytime soon. His determination and perseverance are truly admirable.
And for those who may question his decision to continue performing, Ozzy has a simple message: he will never change. He remains the same rockstar that fans have come to know and love, and he will continue to give his all for his music and his fans.
As excited as we are for Ozzy's return to the stage, we must also remember to prioritize his health and well-being. Let's continue to support him and his decision to perform his final farewell shows.
