Ozzy Osbourne says he's been doing intense 'endurance training' to get in shape for the upcoming final Black Sabbath show in Birmingham on July 5.

After years of health issues, Ozzy Osbourne, 76, is making sure that he’s in top shape when he suits up for what is being billed as Black Sabbath’s final-ever performance on July 5 in Villa Park in the band’s hometown of Birmingham, England. In an interview this week with Billy Morrison on SiriusXM’s Ozzy’s Boneyard channel, Osbourne said he’s been in “heavy training” for the show that will see rock’s Prince of Darkness reunite with his bandmates for one last time on a bill that will also include Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, Pantera, Lamb of God, Mastodon, Alice in Chains and many others. Other acts slated to perform at the final Sabbath blowout include: Halestorm, Gojira, as well as appearances by Smashing Pumpkins leader Billy Corgan, Guns N’ Roses’ Duff McKagan and Slash, Wolfgang Van Halen, Limp Bizkit’s Fred Durst, Lzzy Hale, Disturbed’s David Draiman, Korn’s Jonathan Davis, Sammy Hagar and many more.
