The Black Sabbath frontman has said he is racked by self-doubt and is unsure whether or not he will perform seated for the metal band's Back To The Beginning show at Villa Park, Birmingham, on July 5.

He confirmed he will not play a full set as his endurance, Parkinson's disease battle and leg, neck and back issues are too problematic.

The rock legend, 76, said: "By hook or by crook, I am going to make this f***ing gig if it is the last thing I do."

Ozzy has a reputation as one of the industry's greatest entertainers but the thrill of "celebrating his legacy" in July has been consumed by ADHD and self-confidence fears. He explained: "Believe you me, I still get stage fright. As soon as you get on stage, it's like s*** or bust.
