Ozzy Osbourne is preparing to return to the stage for the first time in over a year, despite struggling with mobility issues that make it difficult for him to walk or stand for extended periods, reports The UK's Daily Record.
The legendary rocker, 75, confirmed he will perform during his induction into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame next month in Cleveland, Ohio.
Sources close to the Black Sabbath frontman say he has informed his band that he will travel from his home in Los Angeles, California to be part of the celebration.
The Birmingham-born rocker hopes to have the support of Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash at the event. "He is a really nice fella," Ozzy said. "He speaks to me a lot."
