Ozzy Osbourne's huge plans for 'mind blowing' Black Sabbath Villa Park comeback gig

The Prince of Darkness is set to reunite with the original Black Sabbath line-up

Ozzy Osbourne plans to 'perform on a throne' when he takes to Villa Park for this summer's homecoming gig.

The Prince of Darkness is set to reunite with the original Black Sabbath line-up for one last time on July 5.

The Brummie rock star - who cannot stand for long periods or walk without support due to Parkinson's disease - may even fly over the crowd in the special chair.

Guitarist and friend Zakk Wylde let slip possible plans for the concert.

He also claimed 76-year-old Ozzy could even do a U-turn on making the Villa show the last one and potentially go on a 2026 tour.

Zakk said: "Well, yeah, it’s gonna be awesome.

"The game plan is, let’s hope this is what happens, I mean, you always gotta stay on the bright side of life, because Oz was singing at the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame thing.

"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".

"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'."

The Back To The Beginning concert sold out in just 16 minutes.

It will see a reunion for Ozzy, guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler and drummer Bill Ward after 20 years apart.

A supergroup of musicians also are set to feature, including Duff McKagan and Slash from Guns’N’Roses, Billy Corgan, Wolfgang Van Halen, Andrew Watt, Red Hot Chili Peppers Chad Smith and Sammy Hagar.

Zakk told Riff X's Metal XS: "Considering all the bands that are on that thing and everybody’s gonna be playing Sabbath songs, it’s gonna be pretty mind blowing.

"And then to see Oz get up there and do a song with them and then watch Sabbath play.

"I think for all the bands that are gonna be there, because if it wasn’t for Sabbath, none of us would exist.

"You know what I mean? So I think it’s gonna be special for everybody."
