Ozzy Osbourne hints at upcoming last show after expressing desire to die

Ozzy Osbourne, who was recently given the first ever Rolling Stone UK Icon has expressed a wish to perform one last time on stage, despite his will to give up on life.

During his conversation with the Rolling Stone UK, he revealed, “I want to be well enough to do one show where I can say ‘hi guys, thanks so much for my life.’ If I drop down dead at the end of it, I’ll die a happy man.”⁠

Meanwhile, the godfather of Heavy Metal took to his Instagram account to post a monochromatic picture of him in one of his iconic poses, where he might have just hinted at the expected dates of his last performance in the caption writing, "@RollingStoneUK Dec / Jan 2024."

Soon after the post was shared, fans were fueled with excitement, contemplating as to when Ozzy would perform.

 One fan commented, “Congratulations @ozzyosbourne .. One more show would be absolutely amazing.”

Ozzy Osbourne shared his desire to die in Rolling Stone UK  interview:

Ozzy Osbourne revealed to the outlet how he has given up on life and does not expect to live more than a decade after a series of painful surgeries.

The 'Prince of Darkness' revealed that he confided in his wife, Sharon Osbourne about smoking a joint to  which she responded that it would “kill him.”

“‘How long do you want me to expletive live for?! At best, I’ve got 10 years left and when you’re older, time picks up speed,'” he responded to his wife.

He also told the magazine that he doesn’t “fear dying” but does not want to “have a long, painful and miserable existence.”

The 74-year-old has an assisted suicide pact in place with Sharon adding to the profile interview, “I like the idea that if you have a terminal illness, you can go to a place in Switzerland and get it done quickly.”

About Ozzy's health crisis:

The English singer and songwriter was diagnosed with the  degenerative disorder of the nervous system, Parkinson’s disease back in 2003 but did not reveal it until 2020.

His health took a major toll on his life after a operation he underwent in June 2022. He had his fourth spinal surgery to heal the damage he suffered from a 2019 fall.

 “I thought I’d be up and running after the second and third, but with the last one they put a expletive rod in my spine. They found a tumor in one of the vertebrae, so they had to dig all that out too,” he told Rolling Stone UK.

The fall had affected the metal rods that were inserted in his body after a bike crash he had endured in 2003. 

While discussing how the series of surgeries had been so hard on him, he added, “It’s really knocked me about, the second surgery went drastically wrong and virtually left me crippled.”
