Besides, the 72-year-old TV personality told BBC, “Ozzy didn't have a chance to say goodbye to his friends, to his fans, and he feels there's been no full stop.”

Ozzy Osbourne’s thankful to be alive
Even the 76-year-old rocker spoke about his declining condition on his Sirius XM radio show recently.
He shared, “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.”
Meanwhile, as reported by the Daily Mail, many famous names are expected to be attending the show as well as it will feature sets from bands, like Lamb Of God, Metallica, Alice In Chains, Slayer, Pantera, Gojira, Halestorm, Anthrax, and Mastodon.
Kanye West and Bianca Censori not welcome at Ozzy Osbourne's final concert
However, two people who are clearly not invited or welcome at the event are Kanye West and his wife Bianca Censori.
The rapper reportedly sampled Sabbath’s track ‘Iron Man’ without taking permission on his album ‘Vultures’ in 2024.
About the duo, Sharon said, “No, not at all. I wouldn’t have him anywhere near. And his wife’s a big old floppy a**e, either. And her sagging t**s.”

One user said, “Again people should be wary when they buy tickets, Ozzy Osbourne pulled out of Power Trip. Then a week later he was getting paid to meet people and sign autographs. He could not even fulfill 70 minutes of lip syncing and sitting on a throne at Power Trip. I hope Black Sabbath does perform with all 4 original members. Who cares what fans think they are nobodies.”

Another user posted, “I put the odds at 50/50 this ever happens. I love Ozzy but I prefer to not see him propped up or sitting on a thrown singing. It's sad.”

A few MailOnline readers also shared their thoughts as one said, “How can he do it? He has Parkinson's and both his movements and voice will be seriously impeded. Good luck to them but I think there will be a lot of backing support from sound engineers and singers.”
“It wasn’t that long ago Sharon said she and Ozzy wanted to live back in the UK because of the Gun violence in America but said he wasn’t well enough to travel,sounds like a miracle has happened so let’s see if they come back now he seems healthier,” another one added.
