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.

Heavy metal icon Ozzy Osbourne has been struggling with health issues recently and was forced to cancel a series of shows earlier this year as a result. He also announced that he is done with touring, prompting many to assume that Osbourne will retire from performing live altogether. Luckily for music fans, this doesn’t seem to be on the table for the former Black Sabbath frontman.

In a recent interview with Metal Hammer, Osbourne acknowledged that the days of touring and lengthy trips are behind him. However, he made it clear that he still intends to keep playing occasional live shows.  

“I mean, doing a live show is what I live for,” Osbourne said. I’ve had to cancel my [2023] European tour, but I’m determined.”

According to Osbourne, he will make sure to get in front of the crowd even if he needs a wheelchair to do it. “I’ve gotta do more gigs if I have to get someone to wheel me out there,” he added. “I mean, you can’t retire from this game. It’s not a job; it’s a passion. I don’t know how to do anything else.”

Osbourne is expected to return to the stage this October with a scheduled appearance at Power Trip Festival. The heavy metal-focused festival, which will take place at Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, will also feature shows from Metallica, Iron Maiden, Guns N’ Roses, Tool, and AC/DC.
