Ozzy Osbourne to perform from a throne at Black Sabbath farewell concert

Legendary frontman Ozzy Osbourne will perform from a throne at Black Sabbath's final-ever performance, slated to take place on July 5 in Birmingham, England.

Osbourne, age 76, has been dealing with a spate of physical ailments in recent years, including neck injuries and Parkinson's disease. The fact that he won't perform on his feet shouldn't come as any great surprise, since Ozzy admitted earlier this year that he can't walk anymore.

Speaking with Riff X program Metal XS, guitarist Zakk Wylde revealed that the aforementioned throne may even take flight:

"The game plan is, let's hope this is what happen, you always gotta stay on the bright side of life, because Oz was singing at the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame thing. Ozzy was just sitting at the chair and he was singing 'Mama, I'm Coming Home', and it sounded great. So hopefully we'll just do this, and then Oz will go, 'Let's just fire up the machine again and we'll do another tour. With Oz and his throne that just flies over the stadium or whatever, [where he] shoots out buckets of water and does everything like that. So if Oz has a great time and it's just, like, 'I wanna go out on the road again,' it's just, like, 'Good. Let's do it again.'"
