Sharon Osbourne has told Metal Hammer magazine that she is open to the possibility of a BLACK SABBATH avatar-style show.

Saw him live,. in 82. Great showman.
flame away
What is an Avatar show?
Ozzy has physical limitations but his heart is in his music. I say, go for it Ozzy.
Like I know what that is?

It is a hologram show.
Meaning then the visuals are holograms but his voice is in there and can be new so he gets to perform but doesn’t have to go through the rigors of stage presence.
Is that about right? If it is I can totally see it a good move for him. That way he can still do a show.
I saw him on the same tour (Diary of a Madman) at the SF Cow Palace. Great show. I saw Black Sabbath with BÖC (Black and Blue), but they had just fired Ozzy and replaced him with Dio. Within 2 years, Sabbath was dead and Ozzy was just getting started.
No interest in AI Ozzy.
Some people get miffed at bands that use some backing tracks to assist them live. Other people have no problem shelling out money to watch fake concerts. Different strokes.
I outta money!
I want Ozzy’s doctor.
They can do new voice or use the old. Depends on the show and the person.
They already a heavy metal band cartoon twenty years ago on The Cartoon Network. It was called Metalocalypse.
No one watched it then either.
I would want to see Randy Rhoades as part of the show. Is there an avatar for Randy?
Yup, she is a very bad human being. That is all it is about with her, with out a care of the artists she has ruined over it.
I also loved the time that Sharon threw a frozen ham into their neighbor's yard.
And in her day Sharon wasn't a bad looking woman.
