In a new interview with Rolling Stone promoting his guest appearance on a new single by Billy Morrison, Ozzy Osbourne cast doubt on his ability to perform live ever again. Saying right now “he can’t stand up.” As we have previously reported that his wife and manager Sharon Osbourne has been vocal about trying to plan two farewell shows in his hometown, near Birmingham, England. Ozzy, who has had a busy year already, also talked about his recent nomination to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, as well as plans to make new album with the fact that such a nomination often comes with a live performance.
Regarding touring or performing live, Ozzy says:
“I would love to, but I can’t stand up right. Maybe I’ll do something one day. I miss it terribly.”
Regarding the Rock Hall Of Fame Nomination:
“It’s been driving me mad. It’s an honor that I’m nominated, but I’m not expecting to get in,” he says. “There’s Mariah Carey, there’s Cher, Lenny Kravitz. I’m up against some serious people. If I get in, I get in. If I don’t, I don’t.”
As far as making his next album:
“I’m waiting for Andrew Watt to give me a call. He’s been working with Lady Gaga. I’m dying to make more music.”
