Ozzy Osbourne‘s longtime collaborator and guitarist Zakk Wylde has teased that the frontman could be in a “throne that flies over the stadium” for Black Sabbath‘s final gig.Earlier this year, the legendary metal band announce details of what will be their last-ever live show, taking place in Birmingham’s Villa Park on July 5.As well as containing the original line-up – Ozzy, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward – the band will also be joined by a star-studded list of opening acts and special guests, including Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Lamb Of God, Tool, Mastodon, Alice In Chains, Guns N’ Roses, Halestorm, Gojira and more.Speaking to Riff X’s Metal XS recently, Wylde said the magnitude of the gig is going to be “pretty mind-blowing”, and shared some insight as to how Ozzy could navigate the mammoth concert.“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,” he said (via Billboard).“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.’A post shared by NME (@nmemagazine)“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.’”Ahead of the gig taking place later this summer, it was also previously shared that Ozzy was looking to build up his strength for the gig and has returned to the gym ahead of the massive show.Producer Andrew Watt,.
