“Great news for fans who secured tickets to witness Ozzy and Black Sabbath’s farewell performance in Birmingham.”
Here’s a paraphrased version of the text:
Andrew Watt, producer and collaborator of Ozzy Osbourne, shared that the iconic “Prince of Darkness” has been hitting the gym as he prepares for his final show.
At 76, Osbourne is gearing up for his last solo performance and final appearance with Black Sabbath, scheduled for July 5 in Birmingham.
In a conversation with Howard Stern on his SiriusXM show, Watt spoke about working with Ozzy, noting that the singer’s voice remains as strong as ever.
“He’s doing okay,” Watt remarked. “His body doesn’t always cooperate the way he’d like, but when I spoke to him recently, he mentioned he’d started exercising again to prepare for this final concert. He’s truly a real-life Iron Man. And his voice? It’s as powerful as it’s always been.”
Watt, who has also worked with Pearl Jam, the Rolling Stones, and collaborated with Lady Gaga on her album Mayhem, confirmed that he’ll be performing at the Ozzy/Black Sabbath Back to the Beginning concert at Villa Park in July.
Sharon Osbourne has promised that this farewell performance will be the most legendary heavy metal concert ever. The influential rock legends will be joined by bands they’ve inspired, including Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Lamb of God, Gojira, Alice in Chains, Mastodon, and Anthrax.
While the official schedule for the event is yet to be revealed, Metallica’s website confirms their performance details. According to the post, Metallica will take the stage before Ozzy Osbourne’s brief solo set, with Black Sabbath delivering the grand finale.
Expressing their excitement, Metallica added, “Our admiration for Black Sabbath runs deep, and we cannot wait to be a part of this historic event! We’ll see you in Birmingham!”
