In a recent episode of Riff X’s ‘Metal XS’, Zakk Wylde, the longtime collaborator and guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne, discussed what might be in store for Black Sabbath’s upcoming farewell show. Wylde hinted at Osbourne performing from a specialized “throne” due to his Parkinson’s disease, and expressed hope for potential future tours if Osbourne enjoys the farewell concert. “With Oz and his throne that just flies over the stadium or whatever, [where he] shoots out buckets of water,” Wylde imagined. He added, “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.’” The reunited Black Sabbath is set to perform a final gig on July 5 at Villa Park in Birmingham, with Wylde concluding, “Everybody’s gonna be playing Sabbath songs, it’s gonna be pretty mind-blowing.” (People)
