Sharon Osbourne Dishes On Husband Ozzy's Return To Stage & His 'Goodbye' Gift To Fans

Sharon Osbourne has more exclusive info about Ozzy Osbourne's last and final concerts after over five decades on stage amid his battle with Parkinson's disease.

The legendary rocker has been swamped with multiple surgeries following a stage fall in 2019, causing him to pull out of booked performances.

Sharon Osbourne disclosed the news on Sunday and confirmed Ozzy's return to the stage would not be for long as he is set to retire. In her words:

"He won't tour again, but we are planning on doing two more shows to say goodbye as he feels like 'I have never said goodbye to my fans and I want to say goodbye properly.'"

She continued to say that both concerts would be held in Aston Villa, which is Ozzy's beloved hometown, adding that the legend still sounds phenomenal, thanks to his regular singing lessons.

Sharon concluded in her statement on her "Cut The Cr—" tour that Ozzy has "different melodies in his head," and even if people are not fans of his music, his warm personality makes up for it.

The concert marked a comeback for the legend, who had to cancel his performance at the Power Trip Festival last year in California. He painfully announced the cancelation of what would have been his first performance in five years in a statement which read:

"As painful as this is, I've had to make the decision to bow out of performing on Power Trip in October. My original plan was to return to the stage in the summer of 2024, and when the offer to do this show came in, I optimistically moved forward."

However, Ozzy explained that his body was not ready to take on such a tasking performance, and his band, made up of his close friends, would have to fill in for him. He concluded his statement by thanking his fans and band members for their loyalty and support.

Before his sudden exit from the festival, Ozzy expressed his readiness to return to the stage as he finished the last leg of his spinal surgery. The Blast shared last September that while he could not walk properly at that time, the surgery went as planned, and his pain has greatly reduced.

Ozzy also disclosed his plans for 2024, which included releasing a new album for his fans. He planned to reunite with Andrew Watt for the project and had already set up his studio in the U.K. to begin recording by early 2024, adding:

"I'm just starting to work on it now, and we'll be recording in the early part of next year. I want to take my time with this one!"

2023 was certainly a memorable year for the 75-year-old, who unexpectedly announced his retirement from performing on live stages last February.

Citing his spinal injury from the fall four years ago as the leading cause, the singer reiterated that his body is still exhausted from all the medical procedures in the statement to his fans:

"My one and only purpose during this time has been to get back on stage. My singing voice is fine. However, after three operations, stem cell treatments, endless physical therapy sessions, and most recently groundbreaking Cybernics (HAL) Treatment, my body is still physically weak."

Ozzy added that while his fans’ exemplary patience has kept him going, it was now glaring to him that he was not physically fit to cover the European/U.K. tour dates and the required traveling process.

"Believe me when I say that the thought of disappointing my fans really F---S ME UP, more than you will ever know," the father of five said in his emotional statement.

He, however, shared that his team would share new venues where he would perform without having to travel, as she thanked his friends, family, band, and crew for their “endless dedication, loyalty, and support” and for giving him a life he never dreamed he would have.

Ozzy’s music career began in the 1970s when his band "Black Sabbath" released their debut heavy metal album “Paranoid,” which contained hit singles like “War Pigs” that made him a global sensation.
