Earlier this year, Ozzy Osbourne’s wife and manager Sharon commented on her husband’s hopes for his final shows. She said that if his health improves enough, Ozzy is hoping for two shows in his original hometown of Birmingham, U.K.
“He won’t tour again,” Sharon said. “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.’” She added, “We will do it in Aston Villa, where Ozzy is from.”
In the meantime, there have been several interviews with the members of metal icons Black Sabbath about the possibility of a reunion and final concert of their own. All of them seem up for the idea, and in a new interview with Lifeminute, bassist Geezer Butler revealed that Ozzy might combine his solo farewell with a goodbye from Sabbath. “Ozzy was talking to me about, when he does his farewell concert – which he still wants to do – He’s dying to still get out there and play,” Butler said. “And he suggested, at his very final concert, for the four of us to get up onstage and maybe do three or four songs together. And that would be it, finished.”
“Definitely no more tours,” the bassist added.
