Sharon Osbourne has disclosed additional information regarding Ozzy Osbourne’s upcoming farewell concert at Aston Villa’s stadium, Villa Park.
During the London segment of her latest stage production, “Cut The Crap,” earlier this week at The Fortune Theatre, Sharon informed the audience that Ozzy intends to stage two more performances in Birmingham as a final farewell to his supporters.
In her appearance at Birmingham’s Alexandra Theatre last night (January 24th) as part of the stage tour, Sharon was visibly emotional as she shared further details about Ozzy’s farewell event.
As per the Birmingham Mail report, Sharon hinted that there might be just a single concert, saying: “Ozzy feels very much like he’s not said goodbye to his fans.
“So he’s going to be coming to do a show at Aston Villa. But he’s going to have his mates with him, all his great mates that he’s toured with for years so he’ll have many friends with him and it’s going to be a celebration.”
Asked if the concert will take place in 2024, Sharon simply responded: “The summer, yes.”
In her commentary regarding Ozzy‘s ability to fly over, Sharon added: “I know with this that it’s mind over matter and he wants it too bad. He’ll be here. It’s true, Ozzy won’t tour again, definitely he won’t. It’s terrible for him because it’s hard to let something that you lived for go, and no matter what over anything, the greatest love of his life is his fans and performing.
She added: “He lives for performing, it’s like his oxygen has been cut from him.”
At the age of 75, Ozzy has scaled back his demanding tour commitments in the past few years, grappling with the challenges posed by Parkinson’s disease and undergoing surgery following a fall.
In July of the previous year, the iconic BLACK SABBATH singer had to cancel his scheduled performance at the Power Trip festival due to persisting physical issues.
