Parkinson's disease proves to complicate so many normal actions in our everyday lives. Our most mundane tasks can become far more arduous. This is the case for Ozzy Osbourne, who keeps a powerful voice and is eyeing one last show before he retires from performing for good. However, his condition has significantly deteriorated over time. It's to the point where he's not even walking anymore.

Recently, Ozzy's wife Sharon spoke with The Sun for an interview. There, she candidly admits that her husband's battle with Parkinson's has worsened over time, to the point that he can't even walk anymore. "He's very happy to be coming back and very emotional about this," Osbourne shares. "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. But his voice is as good as it's ever been."

Physical condition aside, Sharon shares that Ozzy is feeling great mentally. Ultimately, the Osbourne family feels like it's important for the Black Sabbath frontman to have a proper goodbye with his diehard fans. "He's doing great," Sharon says in a separate interview with BBC. "He's so excited about this, about being with the guys again and all his friends. It's exciting for everyone. "Ozzy didn't have a chance to say goodbye to his friends, to his fans, and he feels there's been no full stop. This is his full stop"
It looks like Ozzy's last performance in Birmingham, England will be a blockbuster outing. Metallica, Slayer, Lamb of God, Alice in Chains, and Anthrax join the original Black Sabbath members in the night's festivities.
However, Sharon makes it clear with The Sun who she doesn't want to attend her husband's last show: Kanye West. "No, not at all," Osbourne emphasizes. "I wouldn't have him anywhere near. And his wife's a big old floppy a--e, either. And her sagging t-ts."
