Osbourne has expressed that this concert will mark the end of his live career, as he wishes to spend more time with his family and grandchildren, distancing himself from the rock star lifestyle.

Ozzy Osbourne, the 76-year-old frontman of Black Sabbath, is gearing up for his final concert on July 5, 2025, despite facing significant health challenges.

Osbourne has acknowledged that he may need to sit during the performance due to mobility issues and blood pressure problems stemming from blood clots.

Reflecting on his time with Black Sabbath, Osbourne likened the band's relationships to a marriage, filled with ups and downs, and emphasized the camaraderie they have shared over the years.

Following a critical decision to undergo surgery to avoid potential paraplegia, Osbourne described the operation as 'the worst f***ing surgery you can imagine,' which has led to severe complications and multiple follow-up surgeries.

Post-surgery, Osbourne experienced deep depression, even praying to die in his sleep, feeling trapped by ongoing health setbacks.

His battle with Parkinson's disease, a progressive neurological condition, has further complicated his health, affecting his mobility and overall quality of life.

The upcoming concert, titled 'Back to the Beginning,' is not only a farewell but also a celebration of Black Sabbath's legacy, with actor Jason Momoa hosting and a lineup of major artists including Metallica and Guns N' Roses.

Tickets for the concert sold out in just 16 minutes, with prices reaching as high as £795, leading to frustration among fans.

The anticipation surrounding the concert is mixed, with fellow musicians like Maynard James Keenan expressing both hope and concern regarding Osbourne's ability to perform.

Despite his health issues, Osbourne remains excited about the concert, which promises emotional moments and surprise performances, as hinted by musical director Tom Morello.

Inspired by his wife Sharon, who has been a significant support throughout his struggles, Osbourne sees this reunion concert as a motivating reason to regain his strength.
