Ozzy Osbourne has said he “can’t walk” in a new interview about Black Sabbath‘s final show, with his wife and manager Sharon assuring that his illness “doesn’t affect his voice”.On Wednesday (February 5) it was confirmed that the legendary heavy metal band would be reuniting for one last gig at Villa Park in their hometown of Birmingham on Saturday July 5.The concert will see the group’s most iconic line-up – comprising frontman Osbourne, guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler and drummer Bill Ward – play live together for the first time in two decades.Dubbed ‘Back To The Beginning’, the massive event is also set to play host to appearances from Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Tom Morello, Alice In Chains, Limp Bizkit’s Fred Durst and many more.Osbourne – who is living with Parkinson’s disease and has had various health issues in recent years, stemming from multiple surgeries – spoke about his current condition on SiriusXM’s Ozzy’s Boneyard this week.“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.
