Ozzy Osbourne May Fly On A Throne, Splashing Fans With Water At His Final Show

For Black Sabbath’s farewell show on July 5th in Birmingham, iconic frontman Ozzy Osbourne will perform while seated on a throne. This setup is essential due to Osbourne’s recent health challenges and his acknowledgment that he can no longer walk.

Adding to the excitement, Zakk Wylde hinted that the throne might even take flight during the performance. While speaking to Riff X’s Metal XS, Zakk said: “The game plan is, let’s hope this is what happen, you always gotta stay on the bright side of life, because Oz was singing at the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame thing. 

“Ozzy was just sitting at the chair and he was singing ‘Mama, I’m Coming Home’, and it sounded great. So hopefully we’ll just do this, and then Oz will go, ‘Let’s just fire up the machine again and we’ll do another tour. With Oz and his throne that just flies over the stadium or whatever, [where he] shoots out buckets of water and does everything like that. So if Oz has a great time and it’s just, like, ‘I wanna go out on the road again,’ it’s just, like, ‘Good. Let’s do it again.’”

Even with Ozzy‘s shortened set, the “Back to the Beginning” concert promises an epic metal experience, bringing together iconic acts like Black Sabbath, Metallica, and Slayer with contemporary powerhouses such as Pantera, Lamb of God, and Gojira.

“Considering all the bands that are on that thing and everybody’s gonna be playing Sabbath songs, it’s gonna be pretty mindblowing,” Zakk added. “It’s gonna be pretty awesome. And then to see Ozz get up there and do a song with ’em and then watch Sabbath play. I think for all the bands that are gonna be there, ’cause if it wasn’t for Sabbath, none of us would exist. You know what I mean? So I think it’s gonna be special for everybody.”
