Ozzy Osbourne Shares Heartbreaking Message to Fans: I Want to 'Say a Proper Goodbye'
Ozzy Osbourne has one more trick up his sleeve for his dedicated fanbase as his career comes to a close due to his declining health.
The "Crazy Train" singer, 76, who is gearing up for his final concert ever when he reunites with Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward on July 5, 2025, is working with Paramount+ to launch a new documentary, titled 'No Escape From Now,' to chronicle his battle with Parkinson's disease—among other health issues—and his last show, as reported by Variety.
🎬 🎬
His wife, , has previously opened up about the impact of the singer's health on his career, noting that he "didn't have a chance to say goodbye to his friends [and] to his fans" and that, as the family was forced to cancel appearances to accommodate for his health, he felt that he wasn't getting a "full stop" to his career.
"This is his full stop," she explained of the upcoming concert.
Osbourne also spoke about wrapping up his legacy—at least as far as performing is concerned. 'My fans have supported me for so many years, and I really want to thank them and say a proper goodbye to them," he wrote in a vulnerable new statement. "That is what the Villa Park show is about.'
"...making music and making two albums" also "saved" him over the last several years, which he said have "been full of some of the worst times I've been through."
"There's been times when I thought my number was up,' he admitted. "I'd have gone nuts without music.'
In January 2020, Ozzy publicly revealed his Parkinson's diagnosis, approximately 17 years after he received it. Multiple spinal surgeries following a quad bike crash in the early aughts also caused mobility issues for the performer.
The new documentary film is said to 'reveal the devastating setbacks' Osbourne has faced since he 'faced since his fateful fall in 2019,' which required additional surgery after it dislodged the metal rods in his spine.
'This film is an honest account of what has happened to Ozzy during the last few years,' Sharon added. 'It shows how hard things have been for him and the courage he has shown while dealing with a number of serious health issues, including Parkinson's. It's about the reality of his life now."

Joanne Gilbert, ‘The Great Man' and ‘High Cost of Loving' Actress, Dies at 92
Joanne Gilbert, the actress and singer who performed in the hottest nightclubs of her era and appeared alongside José Ferrer in the films The Great Man and The High Cost of Loving, died April 16 in Los Angeles. She was 92. Her father was Ray Gilbert, who won an Oscar for writing the lyrics to 'Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah' from Disney's Song of the South (1946). More from The Hollywood Reporter Renée Victor, Voice of Abuelita in 'Coco,' Dies at 86 Devin Harjes, 'Boardwalk Empire,' 'Daredevil' and 'Gotham' Actor, Dies at 41 Alan Alda, Mike Farrell Among Those Paying Tribute to Loretta Swit: "A Supremely Talented Actor" After signing a seven-year contract with Paramount in 1952, Gilbert was 'introduced' to filmgoers in the splashy George Marshall-directed Western musical Red Garters (1954), starring Rosemary Clooney, Guy Mitchell, Jack Carson and Gene Barry. In the Universal drama The Great Man (1956), Gilbert portrayed the secretary of Ferrer's Joe Harris, a character loosely based on TV-radio host Arthur Godfrey. And in the MGM comedy The High Cost of Loving (1958), she was a friend of the couple played by Ferrer and, making her movie debut, Gena Rowlands. Ferrer directed both films as well. Born in Chicago on July 17, 1932, Joanne Beverly Gilbert and her family came to Hollywood in 1939. Her dad worked for producer Earl Carroll before he joined the Disney songwriting staff, and he went on to write lyrics for such notable songs as 'Casey at the Bat' and the Andy Williams classic 'And Roses and Roses.' After pursuing a career as a fashion model in New York City, Joanne Gilbert attracted attention as a singer at a famed Hollywood hotstop — her dad helped her with her act — leading to her deal at Paramount. 'The Mocambo had one week that wasn't filled, so they decided to let me make my nightclub debut with them,' she said in 1953. 'I was rehearsing with the orchestra when Mr. Morrison, the owner of the nightclub, said he didn't like my costume. 'I was wearing black sequin slacks and a white blouse because it was easy to dance in. But a few hours before I was to go on, they took the scissors and whacked my trousers until they became very short shorts. … it was something different and caused quite a bit of comment.' After making her film debut in Houdini (1953), she sang 'This is Greater Than I Thought' in Red Garters, where her Sheila Winthrop gets involved with a Mexican bandit played by Barry. Three years later, she reunited with Clooney as a guest on the singer's syndicated variety show. Her résumé included the features Good Morning, Miss Dove (1955) and Ride Out for Revenge (1957) and guest spots on The Ford Television Theatre, Bronco, Perry Mason, Follow the Sun, The Outer Limits and Ben Casey. She also headlined at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York and on stages in Las Vegas. Gilbert was married to TV writer and future Barney Miller creator Danny Arnold from June 1955 until their divorce in August 1956 and to producer and TV-production company executive Edward L. Rissien from 1958 until their 1964 divorce. Her father was married to Silk Stockings and Pajama Game star Janis Paige from 1962 until his 1976 death.
