 Washington [US], March 24 (ANI): The singer and composer
 Ozzy Osbourne
 was able to perform at the Black Sabbath farewell show.
 Zakk Wylde
 , the renowned icon’s long-term associate and
 guitarist
 ,, outlined how the show might appear.
 
 
 Wylde mentioned that Osbourne disclosed he can no longer walk due to Parkinson's disease, a condition he first learned about in 2003. It has been suggested that his performances might involve using a throne-like seat, as reported by People.
 
 
 In a recent episode of Riff X's Metal XS, he mentioned, "With Oz and his stage setup that soars above the stadium or something along those lines, where he releases torrents of water and performs all sorts of effects like that."
 
 
 The musician from Black Label Society also expressed hope that Ozzy's final performance won't truly be his swan song.
 
 
 "If Oz enjoys himself thoroughly and feels like, ‘I want to hit the road again,’ then it’s simply, ‘Great. Let’s do it once more,’” stated Wylde.
 
 
 He mentioned, "'Ozzy was simply seated in a chair, belting out 'Mama, I’m Coming Home,’ and it sounded fantastic. Hopefully, we’ll proceed with this, and then Oz can say, ‘Let’s switch on the machine once more and plan another tour,'" according to the source.
 
 
 "Everyone will be performing Black Sabbath tunes, it's going to be quite astounding," Wylde ended his statement.
 
 
 It was reported last month that Black Sabbath will be coming together for one last performance on July 5th.
 
 
 During the 1970s, Osbourne gained prominence as the frontman of Black Sabbath. He discussed his experience performing at the band's last reunion show in his characteristic manner.
 
 
 On SiriusXM’s Ozzy's Boneyard channel, the iconic musician previously disclosed during his Ozzy Speaks segment that he wouldn’t be playing a complete set with Black Sabbath at their last reunion show in July, which is called ‘Back to the Beginning,’ as reported by People.
 
 
 “I have no plans for an official performance with Black Sabbath, but I will be contributing some small parts here and there,” stated Ozzy, further mentioning, “I’m only taking part in things where I feel at ease.”
 
 
 “I’m attempting to regain my strength,” the “Crazy Train” vocalist went on to say. “In the mornings when you rise, you simply spring out of bed. I need to steady myself, yet I’m very much alive. I continue to be active,” according to the source.
 
 
 Despite his various health problems, Ozzy remains committed to performing for his fans, though some adjustments in expectations might be necessary.
 
 
 Previously, his spouse Sharon revealed that he had lost the ability to walk due to Parkinson's disease, a condition he first learned of in 2003. She mentioned, "He’s incredibly delighted at the prospect of returning and feels quite overwhelmed emotionally."
 
 
 "Parkinson's is a progressive disease. It's not something you can stabilize. It affects different parts of the body, and it's affected his legs," Sharon said, adding, "But his voice is as good as it's ever been," reported People.
 
 
 Black Sabbath announced their final concert, which will take place on July 5 in Birmingham's Villa Park.
 
 
 "It's my time to go back to the beginning ... time for me to give back to the place where I was born," Ozzy 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," as per the outlet.
 
 
 Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Gojira, Halestorm, Alice in Chains, Lamb of God, Anthrax, and Mastodon are set to appear alongside Black Sabbath, according to People. (ANI)

Neil Young Ends 'Platinum' Ticket Sales After Robert Smith's Influence

 Neil Young has committed to getting rid of expensive "platinum" tickets for his upcoming tours, he declared on Saturday.
 
 
 Writing on
 his NY Archives site
 Young stated that he found inspiration from the Cure's Robert Smith, who has often criticized Ticketmaster's "dynamic pricing" and "Platinum" offerings.
 referring to it as a "fraud" fueled purely by selfishness

 Young's
 upcoming Love Earth Tour
 The "Platinum" pricing strategy was implemented as a deterrent against scalpers purchasing high-end tickets with the intention of reselling them at inflated prices on the secondary market for personal profit rather than benefitting the artist. However, the vocalist announced on Saturday that they now view "Platinum" tickets as "a negative," stating these will not be part of upcoming tours.
 
 
 "Both my management team and agent have consistently aimed to safeguard me during tours by securing the most favorable deals possible. Their efforts also extend to protecting both myself and the fans from scalping activities, where individuals purchase prime tickets only to sell them later at significantly inflated prices for personal gain," Young explained in his statement.
 
 
 Ticketmaster launched their expensive Platinum tickets in regions where scalpers were heavily purchasing tickets for resale. This revenue stream benefited me directly, which didn’t seem fair. In the near future, I have decided that these Platinum tickets won't be offered at my events anymore.
 
 
 Nevertheless, Smith and the Cure eventually fought against ticket Scalping by
 making their tickets non-transferable
 It seems Young won’t take that particular path. Nonetheless, similar to the Cure, Young’s tickets can be resold at their original price through Ticketmaster, although they might fetch higher prices on secondary platforms.
 
 
 Having made my decision, I am leaving it up to the public to sort this out," Young stated further. "Purchase the tickets promptly once they become available, otherwise you'll end up paying significantly higher prices on the resale market.
