Ozzy Osbourne Defies Age and Health: Plans to Record New Music!

OZZY OSBOURNE SET TO ROCK ON!

Get ready for a shockwave of rock 'n' roll, folks! The Prince of Darkness himself, Ozzy Osbourne, has announced plans to record new music despite his ongoing battle with Parkinson's disease and a string of grueling surgeries. This is the news that'll get your heart pounding like a Black Sabbath riff!

As Ozzy prepares for what he's dubbed "his last concert" with Black Sabbath at Birmingham's Villa Park on July 5, he's revealed to Metal Hammer magazine that he's still got fire in his belly and a passion for creating new music. When asked about his plans post-gig, Ozzy said: "I will keep on recording if the projects interest me – it's very important."

But don't think Ozzy's slowed down just because he's 76! The rocker has been privately battling Parkinson's disease since 2003 and has undergone seven surgeries in the past five years alone. Still, he remains determined to keep rocking on, even when his body isn't cooperating.

"I am very blessed to say my goodbyes with the help of so many amazing musicians and friends," Ozzy said. "From the late 60s, we are probably one of the only bands where the original members are still alive and speaking with one another – it's an invisible bond that can't be broken."

And what a farewell tour it will be! Ozzy has announced a star-studded lineup of special guests for his final Black Sabbath show, including Metallica, Smashing Pumpkins' Billy Corgan, Duff McKagan and Slash of Guns 'N Roses, Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst, Korn star Jonathan Davis, and Anthrax.

But before we get to the big finale, Ozzy's been opening up about his personal struggles. In a candid interview on SiriusXM's podcast Ozzy Speaks, he revealed that he's been battling self-doubt and stage fright ahead of what's been billed as his final ever show this summer.

"My head's crazy," Ozzy admitted. "ADHD – I have that badly. I will have done the show and died a death before I even started my exercises. So I try and put it on the back burner."

Despite these doubts, Ozzy remains resolute about giving 120 percent to his final performance. And when asked if he'll be performing while standing up or sitting down following a series of spinal operations, Ozzy quipped: "It's endurance – the first thing that goes when you're laid up is your stamina."

So, what can we expect from Ozzy's new music? Will it be more of the same heavy metal thunder that Black Sabbath fans have come to love and respect? Or will he experiment with new sounds and styles?

Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure – Ozzy Osbourne's still got a lot of rock 'n' roll left in him. And we can't wait to hear what he's cooking up next!
