Ozzy Osbourne could be leaning into the metal royalty he is!

In a recent episode of Riff X’s Metal XS, Zakk Wylde, the metal legend’s longtime collaborator and guitarist, teased what Black Sabbath’s farewell show in 2025 could look like.

According to Wylde, 58, Osbourne — who revealed he can no longer walk because of Parkinson’s disease, which he was diagnosed with in 2003 — could be performing from a “throne.”

“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,” he said.

The Black Label Society musician also noted he’s hoping that the farewell concert might not be the last for Osbourne.

“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,'” said Wylde.

He added: “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.’”

“Everybody’s gonna be playing Sabbath songs, it’s gonna be pretty mind-blowing,” Wylde concluded.

Last month, it was announced that Black Sabbath would be reuniting for a final gig on July 5.

Osbourne, guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler and drummer Bill Ward will reunite for a show in Birmingham, where the band formed in 1968, marking first concert together in 20 years.

Called Back to the Beginning, the show — which will take place at Villa Park — will benefit Cure Parkinson’s (from which Osbourne suffers, along with spinal injuries), Birmingham Children’s Hospital and Acorn Children’s Hospice.

“It’s my time to go back to the beginning … time for me to give back to the place where I was born,” the “War Pigs” artist said in a statement. “How blessed am I to do it with the help of people whom I love. Birmingham is the true home of metal. Birmingham for ever.”
