Legendary rocker Ozzy Osbourne, best known for hits like Crazy Train, is set to close the curtain on his iconic career due to declining health. The 76-year-old Black Sabbath frontman will reunite with bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward for his final performance on July 5, 2025, marking the end of an era for heavy metal fans worldwide.
In addition to his farewell concert, Osbourne is teaming up with Paramount+ for a highly anticipated documentary, “No Escape From Now,” which will chronicle his battle with Parkinson’s disease, multiple health struggles, and the emotional journey leading up to his last-ever show.
Sharon Osbourne on Ozzy’s Final Goodbye
Osbourne’s wife, Sharon Osbourne, has previously shared how his health struggles impacted his career, noting that he never had the chance to properly say goodbye to his friends and fans. As tour cancellations mounted due to his condition, he felt his career lacked closure.
“This is his full stop,” Sharon explained, emphasizing the significance of the upcoming concert.
Ozzy Osbourne’s Emotional Farewell to Fans
Reflecting on his farewell, Osbourne shared a heartfelt message with fans:
“My fans have supported me for so many years, and I really want to thank them and say a proper goodbye. That is what the Villa Park show is about.”
Despite facing some of the toughest years of his life, Osbourne found solace in creating music. He credited songwriting and producing two albums with helping him through his darkest times, admitting:
“There’s been times when I thought my number was up. I’d have gone nuts without music.”
Ozzy Osbourne’s Health Battles
Osbourne publicly revealed his Parkinson’s disease diagnosis in January 2020, nearly 17 years after receiving it. Additionally, complications from spinal surgeries—following a quad bike accident—led to severe mobility issues.
The upcoming Paramount+ documentary, No Escape From Now, will delve into these challenges, particularly the devastating setbacks Osbourne endured after a 2019 fall that required additional surgery to repair displaced metal rods in his spine.
“This film is an honest account of what Ozzy has been through over the last few years,” Sharon said. “It shows the courage he has displayed while dealing with serious health issues, including Parkinson’s. It’s about the reality of his life now.”
With his final concert on the horizon and an unfiltered look at his life in the works, Ozzy Osbourne’s legacy as a rock and roll icon remains as powerful as ever.
