Ozzy Osbourne's Shocking Confession: He Won't Stop Rockin'!

The Prince of Darkness has spoken, and it's music to our ears - Ozzy Osbourne is refusing to hang up his iconic black Sabbath robe just yet! Despite health issues and a milestone birthday, the legendary rocker has told pals he's still got plenty of life left in him... and on stage!

Sources close to the 76-year-old husband of Sharon Osbourne have spilled the tea: Ozzy is terrified of retirement because it reminds him of his father's premature passing just days after giving up work. Talk about a wake-up call! The Black Sabbath frontman has made it clear he doesn't want to fade away like his dad did, and that's why he'll continue making music - no matter what!

The rocker has been on the music scene for decades, and it doesn't look like he will be quitting anytime soon

One of Ozzy's closest friends dished to thescholarlynote.com: "Oz has always thought about his dad when it comes to retirement. He knows how quickly life can slip away if you stop doing what makes you feel alive." This pal went on to reveal that Ozzy's biggest fear is repeating history, saying: "It haunts him - he doesn't want to end up like his father."

So, what's driving this metal maverick to keep rocking? Simple: it's in his DNA! As our insider explained: "Working is what keeps Ozzy going. It's in his DNA... He feels that if he stops altogether, he'll wither away and pass." Talk about a fire still burning bright!

This bombshell news comes as Ozzy bid farewell to his final live performance at Birmingham's Villa Park Stadium on Saturday night - but don't count him out just yet! The Black Sabbath legends reunited for their first show in their original line-up since 2005, with Ozzy reuniting with bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward.

Despite having neck, back and Parkinson's issues, Ozzy can't see himself quitting after what happened to his late father when he retired

As the curtain closed on this unforgettable gig, Ozzy left fans with an emotional message: "It's the last song ever. Your support has enabled us to live an amazing lifestyle... thank you from the bottom of our hearts." The message on screen read: "Thank you for everything - you guys are f*ing amazing. Birmingham Forever," as fireworks lit up the night sky.

The 42,000-strong crowd cheered Ozzy on as he fought back tears, admitting at one point: "You have no idea how I feel." And now, we're left wondering what's next for this rock icon. One thing is certain - Ozzy Osbourne won't be hanging up his microphone anytime soon!
