Speaking on the podcast, Sharon told daughter Kelly and Jack, “I’ve been busy trying to get together daddy’s memorabilia for the memorabilia place that we’re opening in Birmingham….he’s having all of his awards [in the museum], all his stage clothes, posters, old posters from [early incarnation of Sabbath] Earth days. I’ve got so much memorabilia. We’re gonna do it totally interactive – every video, every live show of your dad’s, everything there.”It’s more of an educational thing for musicians and artists that wanna see that you can come from nothing, and if you work hard enough this is what you can get.

Sharon further elaborated her vision for the museum, adding, “We’re going to have a café, and in there we’re going to have every instrument you can think of. Music students can come in and we’re gonna do music classes, because there’s no music at schools anymore. We’re gonna get friends, other musicians to come in.”

Birmingham, the origin city of Black Sabbath and, some would argue, the birthplace of heavy metal, has been keen to recognise Ozzy and Black Sabbath in recent months with the honour of naming the giant robotic bull from the 2022 edition of the Commonwealth Games being bestowed upon the artist. Guitarist Tony Iommi also made a surprise appearance at The Hippodrome Theatre two weeks ago to inaugurate the city’s premier of Black Sabbath-The Ballet.

Black Sabbath were formed over 50 years ago in Britain’s second largest city in 1968. With their three back to back releases of  Black Sabbath, Paranoid and Master Of Reality in the early 70s, the band were pioneers of what would become the metal sound and scene and have cemented their place in the annals of its history with their occult imagery and grungy, doom sound.

Currently, there are no further details of an Ozzy museum, however updates are sure to follow in due course.

Power Trip is an upcoming heavy metal music festival set to take place on 6th-8th October. Although this is the first instance of the event, it is being described as a sequel to 2016’s Desert Trip, a 6 day festival that also took place in Indio, California. Headliners of Desert Trip included Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, and The Who.

The rockstar was set to perform at Power Trip this October alongside headliners Metallica, AC/DC and Guns N’ Roses. However, in a statement released in July, Osbourne revealed that “Unfortunately, my body is telling me that I’m just not ready yet and I am much too proud to have the first show that I do in nearly five years be half-assed”.

As painful as this is, I’ve had to make the decision to bow out of performing on Power Trip in October.

My original plan was to return to the stage in the summer of 2024, & when the offer to do this show came in, I optimistically moved forward.

It has since been revealed that Judas Priest will serve as Ozzy’s replacement at the upcoming event.

The 74-year-old acquired a neck injury after a fall in 2019 that required 2 metal plates to be inserted into his spine. The result of this caused the singer more pain, and meant he required more surgery last year, from which he is still recovering. The heavy metal legend has also been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, all of which contributed to his decision to retire from touring. Osbourne made the announcement of his retirement on February 1st.

Although the English rocker was optimistic about being able to return to the stage, his wife Sharon Osbourne stated in an interview with Rolling Stone that “He’s doing a lot better, but he still has a long way to go before he can perform a full concert.”

Sharon was joined by daughter Kelly Osbourne, who, when asked about her father’s decision not to perform at Power Trip, claimed that “We can’t talk about it in the house because it is just so heartbreaking to see that all he wants is just one more show”. 

“He said that if he can’t give his fans what they paid to see, he won’t do it”.

Although this decision was clearly very tough to make, Ozzy Osbourne assured fans in his announcement, “I love you all and I will see you soon.” 

It will see discussions of the highs, lows, and the paranormal. In a recent interview with Rollingstone, Kelly Osbourne said “It’s not like a TV show, we can say do whatever we want.”

The idea to start up the podcast for a new season, came after Ozzy Osbourne announced on Twitter his retirement back in February 2023, due to numerous health conditions.

The podcast’s first season aired back in March 2018 but came to an end, as Ozzy began touring, leaving Sharon, Jack and Kelly to riff about the then latest hot topics in the last episode.

Alongside the announcement of the returning podcast, Sharon and Kelly spoke to Daily Mail about Ozzy’s health and let fans know that he is doing well. Kelly tells the Daily Mail in an online interview “He’s got Parkinson’s and terrible spine surgery but he’s still getting up everyday.”

In addition to the family podcast episodes, each member will have an individual podcast. Despite Ozzy Osbourne’s health-related difficulties, he will kick off the first individual podcast, with his longtime friend Billy Morrison. They touch on topics from food to Black Sabbath days and even on aliens, a popular subject choice for Ozzy.

Kelly will be hosting, The Gay, The Bitch and The Wardrobe. Jack is set to present his podcast on all things paranormal and Sharon will be discussing all the hot gossip and trends in her pop culture podcast.

Family podcasts will indulge their audiences with guest stars including  Melissa Rivers (Joan River’s Daughter), Adam Corolla, and Margaret Cho.

Sharon tells Rollingstone in her interview“It’s just so natural for us just to talk all the time. So why not do a podcast?”
