Ozzy Osbourne is determined not to let his serious health problems prevent him from playing his latest Black Sabbath concert in his hometown of Birmingham on July 5.
The legend of metal, which confirmed in 2020 to be suffering from Parkinson’s disease and suffered from many other serious health problems, will find its former musicians for a concert at the Villa Park in Birmingham, where the club dear to its Aston Villa is located.
The skeptics wonder if Ozzy Osbourne will be able to play, but he insists that he will be present despite his health problems.
“You wake up the next morning and find out that something else has gone wrong. You start to think that it will never end, “said the 76 -year -old artist at Guardian about his health problems.
The singer of Crazy Train added: “I find it difficult to walk. I also have blood pressure problems due to blood clots in my legs. I used to spend two hours on stage, jump and run everywhere. I don’t think I will jump or run a lot this time. I may even be seated ”. But he will be there. And for good reason.
The musician of Paranoid added that the organization of this concert by his wife Sharon had given him “a reason to get up in the morning” and that he had worked with a vocal coach and made the gym to be sure of being able to be on stage.
Black Sabbath will not be alone on the bill. Ozzy Osbourne has made sure that his fans do not feel injured by offering a poster that includes several groups inspired by Black Sabbath, including Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Slash and Tom Morello.
“We only play a few songs each. I don’t want people to think they are ripped off, because it’s just a few songs. You will have some songs from Ozzy and Sabbath, “he told the British newspaper.
This unique concert with the original training of Black Sabbath (Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward) will allow funds for charities Cure Parkinson’s, Birmingham Children’s Hospital and Acorns Children’s Hospice.
