Osbourne recently opened up about "giving 120%" at his final concert on his showSiriusXM’s Ozzy Speaks, which airs monthly onSiriusXM’s Ozzy’s Boneyard. "If my God wants me to do the show, I’ll do it,” he said at the time.

Osbourne explained that he hasn't "done any physical work for the last seven [or so] years."

“By hook or by crook, I’m gonna make it there," he said. "I’ve got this trainer guy who helps people get back to normal. It’s hard going, but he’s convinced that he can pull it off for me. I’m giving it everything I’ve got.”
