Speaking to SiriusXM, he discussed his current condition, saying: “I have made it to 2025. I can’t walk, but you know what I was thinking over the holidays? For all my complaining, I’m still alive,” he said. “I may be moaning that I can’t walk, but I look down the road, and there are people who didn’t do half as much as me and didn’t make it.”

His wife and manager, Sharon Osbourne, also spoke about the upcoming show in an interview with NME, saying:
