Black Sabbath legend Tony Iommi has offered fans a much-anticipated update on the band’s final performance, revealing just how involved frontman Ozzy Osbourne will be. As excitement builds around the farewell concert, Iommi confirmed that Osbourne is slated to perform a select number of songs, putting to rest speculation about the extent of his participation.
In a recent interview, Iommi acknowledged the challenges Ozzy has faced with his health but reassured fans that the Prince of Darkness remains determined to join his bandmates on stage. According to Iommi, Ozzy will deliver three to four songs during the final show a number chosen with both sentiment and practicality in mind.
“We’ve spoken quite a bit, and Ozzy’s really eager to be part of it,” Iommi said. “Given everything he’s been through, he doesn’t want to overdo it, but he’ll absolutely be singing a few classic Sabbath tracks. It wouldn’t be a proper goodbye without him.”
The announcement has sparked emotional reactions from fans, many of whom feared that Osbourne’s health would prevent him from taking part in the milestone event. Ozzy, now in his mid-70s, has been battling a series of medical issues in recent years, including Parkinson’s disease and complications from spinal surgery. Despite these setbacks, he has repeatedly voiced his desire to return to the stage, especially for a final performance with the band that made him a rock icon.
Black Sabbath’s farewell concert is being planned as a grand celebration of their decades-long legacy. While details about the venue and full setlist are still under wraps, Iommi hinted that the show will feature a mix of the band’s most iconic tracks and a few special surprises.
“This won’t be a typical concert,” Iommi added. “It’s going to be a heartfelt thank-you to the fans, and having Ozzy up there, even for a few songs, means everything to us.”
With the countdown now underway, fans across the globe are eagerly awaiting what promises to be a historic and emotional farewell. And while Ozzy’s full return may not be possible, his presence even for a handful of songs ensures that Black Sabbath’s final bow will be unforgettable.
