Ozzy Osbourne’s Unique Performance Strategy for the Concert
In a recent interview on his show Ozzy Speaks on Sirius XM’s Ozzy’s Boneyard, Ozzy Osbourne shared details about his performance plans for the Back to the Beginning concert. He expressed that he will not be delivering a full set with Black Sabbath, but rather participating in a series of shorter performances throughout the day, offering fans a taste of his iconic presence.
Ozzy has faced significant health challenges in recent years, including a serious accident in 2019 that led to spinal injuries and a diagnosis of Parkinson’s Disease. These issues resulted in the postponement of his No More Tours 2 tour and the cancellation of his scheduled appearance at the Power Trip festival. Despite these difficulties, he remains optimistic about his ability to perform.
In his own words, Ozzy mentioned, “I am trying to get back on my feet. When you get up in the morning, you just jump out of bed. I have to balance myself, but I?m not dead. I?m still actively doing things,? reflecting his determination to continue engaging with his fans.
