Ozzy Osbourne, recently spoke about the Back To The Beginning charity show, in which all four original members of Black Sabbath, will be playing in Villa Park in Birmingham, as a final farewell.
Osbourne said, on his SiriusXM show Ozzy Speaks (via blabbermouth.net), “I’m not planning on doing a set with Black Sabbath but I am doing little bits and pieces with them. I am doing what I can, where I feel comfortable.”
The 76-year-old heavy metal singer, who revealed in 2020 that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, added that he is doing what he can to get ready for the Villa Park concert.
“I am trying to get back on my feet,” he said. “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.”
He talked in more detail about his condition on his SiriusXM radio show. saying, “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. I may be moaning that I can’t walk but I look down the road and there’s people that didn’t do half as much as me and didn’t make it.”
Proceeds from the “Back To The Beginning” show will support Cure Parkinson’s, the Birmingham Children’s Hospital and Acorn Children’s Hospice, a Children’s Hospice supported by Aston Villa.
