Legendary vocalist Ozzy Osbourne might not tour again, but he isn’t leaving the stage for good before saying goodbye to his fans. According to Osbourne’s wife Sharon, who also serves as his manager, the former Black Sabbath frontman plans to do two final shows and then retire from performing live.
Sharon shared the news during her spoken-word show on Sunday while also confirming that the shows will take place in Osbourne’s hometown of Birmingham, UK.
“He won’t tour again but we are planning on doing two more shows to say goodbye as he feels like, ‘I have never said goodbye to my fans and I want to say goodbye properly,’” Sharon shared.
Osbourne embarked on his farewell tour, titled No More Tours II, back in 2018. After completing the North America and South America legs of the tour, alongside a handful of European dates, Osbourne had to postpone the remaining shows in Europe and the UK due to the COVID-19 pandemic and health issues. The postponed dates were later canceled, with the “Crazy Train” singer announcing his retirement from touring in February 2023.
Osbourne’s most recent show took place at Ozzfest in 2018. Since then, he has only made a handful of guest appearances, including a two-song set on September 2022 at SoFi Stadium, Inglewood, as part of the NFL Kickoff 2022 ceremony.
