“He’s the real-life Iron Man, and nothing’s happened to his voice,” said the producer of Osbourne. “His voice is, you know, as good as it’s ever been.”

“I’m not planning on doing a set with Black Sabbath but I am doing little bits and pieces with them,” he said, perBillboard. “I am doing what I can, where I feel comfortable.”

“I am trying to get back on my feet,” Osbourne continued. “When you get up in the morning, you just jump out of bed. I have to balance myself, but I’m not dead. I’m still actively doing things.”

His wife,Sharon, recently toldThe Sunthat Ozzy canno longer walkbecause of Parkinson’s disease, whichhe was diagnosed with in 2003. “He’s very happy to be coming back and very emotional about this,” she said.

“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, 72, continued. “But his voice is as good as it’s ever been.”

In addition to Black Sabbath, other performers set to take the stage at the concert include Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Gojira, Halestorm, Alice in Chains, Lamb of God, Anthrax and Mastodon.

Guns N’ Roses’Slash, Smashing Pumpkins’ Billy Corgan, Korn’s Jonathan Davis, Limp Bizkit’s Fred Durst, Wolfgang Van Halen and Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello will also form a supergroup for the concert.
