Ozzy Osbourne’s Final Comeback Will Leave You in Tears as He Reunites with Black Sabbath Before His Death

Published on July 24, 2025

Ozzy Osbourne, the wild-hearted rock legend and face of Black Sabbath, passed away on July 22 at 76 years old. But long before his final curtain call, he had been quietly fighting a brutal battle with his health that most fans only got glimpses of.

While the world knew Ozzy was living with Parkinson’s disease, there was a lot more going on behind the scenes. In a deeply emotional interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored back in 2023, Ozzy opened up in a way that made it clear just how hard things had been.

“It’s been five years of absolute hell for me and the family,” he shared. “My family has been so supportive. I couldn’t have done it without them. It’s been really a bad scene.”

But Parkinson’s wasn’t the only issue. His son Jack Osbourne later revealed that a neck injury in 2019 made things way worse. That fall only added to the damage Ozzy had been carrying since a serious bike crash in 2000.

Ozzy himself reflected on it with raw honesty. “I just got up and carried on but I had broken my neck, and I carried on working with it, and then it just everything came undone.”

Through it all, Ozzy never lost his connection to music. Even when it was physically impossible for him to tour like he used to, he held onto hope that he’d get back on stage. And against all odds, he did.

Just weeks before his passing, on July 5, Ozzy reunited with the original Black Sabbath lineup—Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward—for one epic final performance. Fans had no idea it would be their last chance to see the Prince of Darkness light up a stage.

In an interview with The Guardian just two months before his death, Ozzy admitted how hard it had been being away from what he loved most.

“It’s tough—I’ve been laid up for such a long time,” he said. “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.” Still, he was determined to push through. “I’ll be there, and I’ll do the best I can. So all I can do is turn up.”

That final show wasn’t just a performance. It was a moment of triumph, a message that no matter how broken his body felt, his spirit was still roaring. Ozzy gave everything he had, right up to the end.

This was the same man who once shocked the world with outrageous stunts and devil-may-care antics, now giving fans one last taste of his passion through grit and resilience. It wasn’t about headlines anymore. It was about heart.

Ozzy Osbourne may be gone, but his final act is one fans will never forget. He didn’t just go out with a bang—he went out with love, fight, and a mic in his hand.
