Renowned rock vocalist Ozzy Osbourne is anticipated to make an appearance at Black Sabbath's farewell concert, despite battling Parkinson's disease. Longtime guitarist and collaborator Zakk Wylde shared insights on the potential nature of the show, highlighting that Osbourne may perform from an innovative 'throne' due to his mobility issues.

Wylde expressed hope during a recent Riff X's Metal XS episode, imagining a performance where Osbourne navigates the stage on a flying throne, mesmerizing fans with water displays. While Osbourne plans to perform limited segments, hopes remain that this won't mark his final tour.
