Jack Osbourne Reveals Doctors Warned Ozzy Not to Play Final Concert: "I'm Doing It"

Jack Osbourne is opening up about his father’s final show, and the story behind it is everything you’d expect from Ozzy. On the“Great Company with Jamie Laing”podcast, Jack said doctors urged Ozzy to skip his farewell performance, pointing to heart and artery problems, multiple medical setbacks, and the physical energy a full concert demands. Ozzy’s answer was two words:“I’m doing it.”

He took the stage with Black Sabbath in Birmingham on July 5, 2025, seated on a skull-adorned throne, closing the“Back to the Beginning”show with“Crazy Train.”He died just 17 days later at age 76. His death certificate listed cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease.

Jack told the podcast he’s heartbroken but not angry.“I think everyone wants to at least have some say in how they go,”he said. Fans who watched that final set now know it was a decision Ozzy made himself, against medical advice, for the people who loved him. Were you at that Birmingham show, or did you watch it online? Tell us what that night meant to you.
