Sharon Osbourne, Ozzy Osbourne’s wife and manager, has announced that Ozzy is preparing for his final major stage show. Despite previous concert cancellations and retirement concerns, Sharon confidently states that Ozzy will make one last live appearance to bid farewell to his devoted fans. At 75 years old, Ozzy has reduced his touring schedule due to his ongoing battle with Parkinson’s disease and the need for surgery following a fall.
In 2019, a home accident exacerbated injuries from a near-fatal quad bike crash in 2003. Despite these challenges, Ozzy participated in significant events such as the closing ceremony of the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games and an NFL game in the US in September of the same year.
Sharon reveals that Ozzy will not embark on tours again, but they are planning two final shows to properly say goodbye, as Ozzy feels he has never bid farewell to his fans in a proper manner. She hints at the venue, mentioning Aston Villa’s stadium, Villa Park, and states, “We will do it in Aston Villa, where Ozzy is from.”
Sharon assures fans that Ozzy’s voice is still incredible, and he continues to take singing lessons during his time off. She says, “Even if you’re not a fan of his music, you can’t help but be captivated by Ozzy.”
Ozzy officially retired from touring last year and canceled his scheduled dates. In a heartfelt social media message in February 2023. He shared the challenges he has faced since a major accident four years ago, which caused damage to his spine. While his singing voice remains intact, Ozzy acknowledges his physical weakness after multiple surgeries and treatments.
