Ozzy Osbourne Confirms Final Black Sabbath Reunion

Ozzy Osbourne, 76, has confirmed he will perform at his final show with the original Black Sabbath lineup on July 5 at Villa Park in Birmingham, England, despite ongoing health issues including Parkinson's disease and recent surgeries. The 'Back to the Beginning' event marks the first full reunion of the classic Black Sabbath members in 20 years and will feature major metal acts such as Metallica, Slayer, and Anthrax. Osbourne has been physically and vocally training for the concert but may only perform a few songs and could sing while seated due to mobility challenges. The concert was organized by his wife, Sharon Osbourne, as motivation for his recovery. Tool's Maynard James Keenan and others have expressed uncertainty regarding Osbourne's condition on the day, urging fans to be prepared for a limited performance. Fans have been advised that both Ozzy and Black Sabbath will only offer a 'sample' of songs rather than full sets.
