Ozzy Osbourne’s aspiration to perform one last show, despite ongoing health challenges, is a significant aspect of this summer’s highly anticipated Back to the Beginning all-day concert event. Fans are eager to learn how much Ozzy will be involved with Black Sabbath during this reunion. The event promises to be a monumental gathering of rock legends, with Osbourne’s participation being a key highlight amidst his health struggles.

Recently, it was announced that a reunion of Black Sabbath, featuring all four original members, will serve as the grand finale for a day filled with stellar performances. Alongside Osbourne’s solo act, an impressive lineup of guest artists and band sets will enhance the concert experience. However, due to Osbourne’s past health issues that led to the cancellation of his No More Tours 2 tour, there are valid concerns regarding how his health will influence his performance at this iconic event.

Ozzy Osbourne’s Insights on His Participation in the Black Sabbath Reunion

During an appearance on his SiriusXM show, Ozzy Speaks, the legendary singer shared his thoughts about the forthcoming concert. When discussing what fans can anticipate, he candidly stated, “I’m not planning on doing a full set with Black Sabbath, but I will contribute little bits and pieces. I am focusing on what I can manage comfortably.” This highlights his determination to be part of the reunion, even if it means adjusting his usual performance style to accommodate his current condition.

Osbourne’s last full performance took place on December 31, 2018. Since then, he has faced significant health obstacles, including a serious accident in 2019 that resulted in spinal injuries and a Parkinson’s diagnosis that has impacted his ability to perform regularly.

“I am striving to regain my strength,” he expressed. “When I wake up in the morning, I have to take a moment to find my balance. While I may not be able to jump out of bed like I used to, I?m still here and actively pursuing my passions.?

In a recent segment on his SiriusXM radio show, shortly after the concert announcement, Ozzy reflected, “I made it to 2025. Although I can’t walk, I realize that despite my complaints, I’m still alive. I may lament my limitations, but I recognize that there are many who did not achieve as much as I have and did not make it this far.”

Meanwhile, his wife Sharon Osbourne shared insights with The Sun, stating, “He is genuinely thrilled and emotional about returning. Parkinson’s is a progressive illness, meaning it cannot be halted. It impacts various body parts, particularly his legs. Nevertheless, his vocal abilities remain as powerful as ever.”
