Zakk Wylde discussed Ozzy Osbourne’s potential final performance in a recent interview with Riff X’s Metal XS.
“The game plan is, let’s hope this is what happens. You always gotta stay on the bright side of life, because Oz was singing at the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame thing,” Wylde said. “Ozzy was just sitting at the chair, and he was singing ‘Mama, I’m Coming Home. ‘ 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,'” he continued. “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. 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.'”
