Yesterday, Sharon Osbourne announced that Ozzy Osbourne is going to play his final show in Birmingham on July 5th. He will be joined by his Black Sabbath bandmates and bands, like Slayer and Anthrax, who idolized the singer.
If you are going to make an announcement like that, then you are going to do interviews with the press. Sharon spoke with The Sun and gave an update on her husband’s health.
“Parkinson’s is a progressive disease. It’s not something you can stabilise. It affects different parts of the body and it’s affected his legs,” she said. “But his voice is as good as it’s ever been.”
The 76-year-old singer later confirmed what she said on his Sirius XM show Ozzy’s Boneyard. “I have made it to 2025. I can’t walk, but you know what I was thinking over the holidays? For all my complaining, I’m still alive,” he said. “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.”
Hopefully, he will be able to do it and go out in style. With a career that started with him accidentally biting the head off of a live bat, it needs to end just as infamously.
