>OZZY’S FINAL SHOW: A SAD FAREWELL HE NEVER WANTED
>BIRMINGHAM, UK – July 4, 2025
>It’s official: Ozzy Osbourne will play his final show with Black Sabbath this October in Birmingham. But behind the headlines is a quieter, sadder truth — he never wanted to.
>At 76, Ozzy is frail, confused, and tired. What was once stage presence has faded into something ghostlike. Friends say he spends most days sitting in silence, watching old concert footage he barely remembers. “He thinks some of it hasn’t happened yet,” a family source said. “He asks when they’re going on next, not realizing they already did.”
>The idea of a final show wasn’t Ozzy’s. It came from Sharon, who pushed hard for one last payday and “closure.” When he refused, she cut off his care — refusing to help him dress, clean himself, or even change his diapers.
>“He spent days like that,” someone close to the family shared. “Just sitting there, humiliated, not really understanding why.”
>Even his children joined in. Jack and Kelly pleaded with him. “You owe it to the fans,” they said. “To the band. To Mum.” The pressure broke him.
>This isn’t the triumphant final act of a rock god. It’s the slow, painful exit of a man who stayed too long in a world that moved on without him. His voice is weak. His hands shake. But he’ll go out there one last time — not for legacy, but because the people closest to him wouldn’t let him rest.
>A farewell not chosen, but endured.
