Ozzy Osbourne is leaving it all on the stage.
The iconic former Black Sabbath frontman, 76, is gearing up for his final concert, and he's putting in significant preparation.
During his show SiriusXM’s Ozzy Speaks, which airs monthly on SiriusXM’s Ozzy’s Boneyard, Osbourne shared that he's gunning to knock it out of the park for the show. He'll reunite with the rest of Sabbath, and welcome additional acts like Metallica and Alice in Chains.
“All I can say is I’m giving 120%. If my God wants me to do the show, I’ll do it,” Osbourne said, speaking in conversation with co-host Billy Morrison.
Despite his assertion that he'll make it onstage, Osbourne said he has a bit of nerves, particularly as he's dealt with health issues in recent years.
“I haven’t done any physical work for the last seven or so years,” he said on his show. “By hook or by crook, I’m gonna make it there. I’ve 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.”

Going on by saying he's taking it "one day at a time," Osbourne said he's not stressing too hard about the big event to avoid driving himself nuts with anxiety. Obsessing too much over the concert will make him "insane by Friday," he noted.
The "Back to the Beginning" show, which takes place at Villa Park in Osbourne's hometown of Birmingham, England, on July 5, is being touted as the legendary rocker's "final bow."

In a recent interview with The Guardian, Osbourne discussed some of that physical preparation he's taken on, and how it has helped him navigate those challenging recent health issues, which include Parkinson's Disease and pneumonia. He frequently does weight training and bike riding, and even has a trainer living at his house.
"It’s tough – I’ve been laid up for such a long time. I’ve been lying on my back doing nothing and the first thing to go is your strength. It’s like starting all over again. I’ve got a vocal coach coming round four days a week to keep my voice going. I have problems walking. I also get blood pressure issues, from blood clots on my legs.," Osbourne explained. "I’m used to doing two hours on stage, jumping and running around. I don’t think I’ll be doing much jumping or running around this time. I may be sitting down.”
