Ozzy Osbourne is suffering a crisis of confidence and crippling anxiety as he struggles to prepare for his summer farewell show in Birmingham with Black Sabbath
Ozzy Osbourne is seriously concerned about his final ever gig.
Black Sabbath are set to headline their final gig on July 5th at Villa Park in Birmingham, as part of the “Back To The Beginning” event. This show will reunite the original band members Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward for the first time in 20 years.
However, Ozzy has expressed worries ahead of his farewell gig and while speaking to SiriusXM, he declared: “By hook or by crook I am going to make this f****** gig if it is the last thing I do. Well, it will be.”
Addressing his mental struggles, he also confessed: “My head is crazy. 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.”
“I’m not going up there saying: ‘It’s going to be great. I’m really confident.’ In my head I will have died on my a**. I remember being in bloody Vegas one time being in the dressing room going: ‘I’m going to play, I’m going to die,'” reports the Mirror.
“I talked myself into blowing the gig. It was only two bloody songs. Sharon goes: ‘Just don’t think about it.’ I obsess about a bloody bird c******* on my show.”
However, despite his worries Ozzy has promised to “give 120 percent” and is “taking it one day at a time”.
When asked if he feels excited for the farewell, Ozzy responded: “Believe you me, I still get stage fright. As soon as you get on stage, it’s like s*** or bust.”
He then joked: “Ask him upstairs. In my case, the one below.”
Osbourne revealed that he is “in heavy training” because he “hasn’t done any physical work for the last seven years”.
“I have got this trainer guy who helps people get back to normal. It’s hard going, but he’s convinced that he can pull it off for me. I’m giving it everything I’ve got. It’s endurance. The first thing that goes when you’re laid up is your stamina.”
The Black Sabbath star revealed that he is “having his blood pressure taken 15 times a day” and has a “device on his finger” that monitors his heart rate.
“I’m constantly in training seven days a week I’ve got this guy who’s virtually living with me and I’m in bed by seven.”
