Yahoo Lifestyle Ozzy Osbourne Shares Heartbreaking Message to Fans: I Want to 'Say a Proper Goodbye'
Ozzy Osbourne has one more trick up his sleeve for his dedicated fanbase as his career comes to a close due to his declining health.
The "Crazy Train" singer, 76, who is gearing up for his final concert ever when he reunites with Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward on July 5, 2025, is working with Paramount+ to launch a new documentary, titled “No Escape From Now,” to chronicle his battle with Parkinson's disease—among other health issues—and his last show, as reported by Variety.
His wife, Sharon, has previously opened up about the impact of the singer's health on his career, noting that he "didn't have a chance to say goodbye to his friends [and] to his fans" and that, as the family was forced to cancel appearances to accommodate for his health, he felt that he wasn't getting a "full stop" to his career.
"This is his full stop," she explained of the upcoming concert.
Osbourne also spoke about wrapping up his legacy—at least as far as performing is concerned. “My fans have supported me for so many years, and I really want to thank them and say a proper goodbye to them," he wrote in a vulnerable new statement. "That is what the Villa Park show is about.”
"...making music and making two albums" also "saved" him over the last several years, which he said have "been full of some of the worst times I’ve been through."
"There’s been times when I thought my number was up,” he admitted. "I’d have gone nuts without music.”
In January 2020, Ozzy publicly revealed his Parkinson's diagnosis, approximately 17 years after he received it. Multiple spinal surgeries following a quad bike crash in the early aughts also caused mobility issues for the performer.
The new documentary film is said to “reveal the devastating setbacks” Osbourne has faced since he “faced since his fateful fall in 2019,” which required additional surgery after it dislodged the metal rods in his spine.
“This film is an honest account of what has happened to Ozzy during the last few years,” Sharon added. “It shows how hard things have been for him and the courage he has shown while dealing with a number of serious health issues, including Parkinson’s. It’s about the reality of his life now."
