"Ozzy Osbourne died 17 days after his spectacular farewell concert in July, an event that had millions of metalheads in big, beautiful tears over his legacy. It's doubtful, though, that Osbourne would've made the trek to Birmingham, England - or, to be more blunt, still been alive - if it weren't for the intensive physical therapy he received in the months leading up to the concert."
"Initially conceived as a project to chronicle Osbourne's recovery and career bounce-back following a fall in his home in February 2019, No Escape From Now has since morphed into a posthumous opus that ends with the Back to the Beginning send-off in his hometown. There's also an unexpected detour that chronicles Osbourne's solo induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in late 2024, which he almost wasn't cleared to travel to by doctors due to severe blood clots in his legs."
Ozzy Osbourne died 17 days after his spectacular farewell concert in July. Intensive physical therapy in the months before the concert enabled travel and performance despite serious health setbacks. A four-year record captures his recovery after a February 2019 fall, a near-miss with doctors over blood clots before his solo Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction in late 2024, and the Back to the Beginning send-off in his hometown. He hired live-in physical therapist Gary Viles, who used Pilates reformer exercises to rebuild lower-body and core strength. Osbourne acknowledged impatience with rehab and joked about limits from past lifestyle choices.
