‘I’ll Be There’: Ozzy Osbourne Vows to Perform Final Concert Amid Health Concerns….
Rock legend Ozzy Osbourne has made it clear that he is determined to take the stage one last time, despite ongoing health struggles that have cast doubt on his ability to perform live again. The 75-year-old Black Sabbath frontman, known for his iconic voice and unpredictable stage presence, told fans in a recent interview: “I’ll be there. Come hell or high water, I will do that show.”
Osbourne’s comments follow years of speculation about his retirement, complicated by a series of serious health issues. Since 2019, the singer has battled a string of setbacks including a severe fall that aggravated a previous spinal injury, a Parkinson’s disease diagnosis, and multiple surgeries. Despite these challenges, Osbourne remains resolute.
“I’ve been knocked down plenty of times,” he said, “but I’ve always gotten back up. I owe it to my fans — they’ve stuck with me through everything.”
The anticipated performance, expected to be billed as his final live concert, has no confirmed date yet. However, industry insiders suggest it could take place later in 2025, possibly at a major UK venue or festival, depending on Osbourne’s condition.
In recent years, the Prince of Darkness has canceled multiple tours, including the highly anticipated “No More Tours 2” tour, citing health reasons. While fans expressed concern, Osbourne’s determination has inspired many.
His wife and manager, Sharon Osbourne, has supported his decision but remains realistic. “Ozzy is incredibly passionate about music,” she said during a radio appearance. “But we also have to be mindful of his health. He’s getting stronger every day, but it’s a slow process.”
Despite his limited mobility, Osbourne has hinted that the final show will feature guest appearances and special arrangements to accommodate his condition. “Even if I have to be wheeled out there and sing sitting down, I’ll do it,” he said with his trademark wit.
Osbourne’s final concert would mark the end of an era for heavy metal. Rising to fame in the early 1970s with Black Sabbath, he helped pioneer a genre that would influence generations. His solo career in the 1980s and beyond only cemented his status as a rock icon, with hits like “Crazy Train” and “Mama, I’m Coming Home.”
Fans around the world have responded with overwhelming support. Social media platforms lit up after his latest interview, with many praising his tenacity and expressing hope for one last chance to see him live.
“Whatever happens, Ozzy’s legacy is secure,” said music journalist Lisa Graham. “But if he can take the stage one more time, it would be a truly historic moment — for rock music and for everyone who’s been inspired by his journey.”
For now, Osbourne’s message to fans is simple and heartfelt: “I’m not done yet. I’ve got one more in me.”
