Black Sabbath Original Lineup Faces Uncertainty Ahead Final Reunion Gig

Ozzy Osbourne is preparing for his final concert with Black Sabbath on July 5 at Villa Park in Birmingham, marking the first time the original lineup has performed together in over 20 years. Despite battling Parkinson’s disease, severe mobility issues, and having not done physical work for nearly seven years, Osbourne is undergoing intensive physical training with a live-in rehabilitation therapist to build stamina for the show. He remains determined to perform, stating he is giving 120% and will do the show if his God wills it, though he admits to occasional stage fright and obsessive-compulsive disorder. The farewell concert, titled Back To The Beginning, will feature a lineup of legendary supporting bands like Metallica, Slayer, and Pantera, with all profits going to charities including Cure Parkinson’s. Additionally, Osbourne will make a rare public appearance with his family at Comic Con Midlands in Birmingham shortly after the gig, providing fans another opportunity to see the iconic rock family. The event underscores Osbourne’s commitment to concluding his touring career on a high note while spending more time with his family.
