30 Years Ago: Ozzy Osbourne Begins Short-Lived ‘Retirement’

On Nov. 15, 1992, Ozzy Osbourne  began one of the shortest retirements in rock 'n' roll history.

His No More Tours Tour, an intended final trek, stretched from June 9 to Nov. 15, 1992, ending with a pair of shows in Costa Mesa, Calif., that included an encore reunion with Black Sabbath mates Tony Iommi , Geezer Butler and Bill Ward . The Ozzman had been mistakenly diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and felt his time would be better spent with his family.

Then he had a change of heart faster than a  Zakk Wylde solo.

"I retired when I was fucking [43] or something, and then five minutes after I retired I was like, 'Why the fuck did I retire from this?'" Osbourne told this writer a few years later. "I mean, what else am I supposed to do, knit? No fucking way! So I said, 'Enough of this,' and got back to it."

Osbourne has been plenty busy since then, making music, touring, TV-ing and occasionally winding up in the gossip and celebrity news columns — though not for biting any winged creatures . He's flown high again and ridden the crazy train, taken a few shots in the dark and made a few changes along the way. He declared in 2007 that he's "Not Going Away," and anybody who's heard his 2022 album  Patient Number 9 knows that reports of Ozzy's demise, even in the face of his battle with Parkinson's disease, are indeed exaggerated.

THERE HAS BEEN MUSIC

Osbourne has released seven new studio albums since No More Tours: the double-platinum Ozzmosis  (1995), Down to Earth (2001), the covers set Under Cover (2005), the platinum Black Rain (2007), Scream (2010), Ordinary Man (2020) and Patient Number 9 (2022), the last of which became his ninth Top 10 album, debuting at No. 3 on the Billboard 200. He also released a selection of live albums, including Live & Loud from No More Tours, and compilations like 2019's See You on the Other Side .

The Prince of Darkness also reunited with Black Sabbath multiple times since 1997, and in 2013, the band released 13 , its first studio album with Osbourne since 1978's Never Say Die!  

The Rick Rubin -produced set, whose recording was impacted by Iommi's lymphoma diagnosis, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and scored Sabbath their first-ever Grammy Award, with "God Is Dead?" taking home Best Metal Performance.

Osbourne has made several musical cameos over the past three decades too, appearing or being sampled on recordings by Rick Wakeman , Coal Chamber, Eminem , Slash , Primus , Black Label Society  and even rapper Post Malone, on the double-platinum 2019 single "Take What You Want."

THERE HAVE BEEN TOURS

The title of the Retirement Sucks Tour says it all. Osbourne was back on the road from 1995-96, promoting  Ozzmosis  in North America, the U.K., Europe, Japan and South America. The trek also included the first Ozzfest package, held over two days — Oct. 25, 1996, in Phoenix and the following day in Devore, Calif. — and featuring support from Slayer , Danzig, Sepultura and more across two stages.

Ozzfest expanded in 1997 — featuring sets by both Osbourne and Black Sabbath — and became the singer's primary touring vehicle for the next 13 years. It helped launch several other bands, including Disturbed, Slipknot , Incubus, System of a Down and Mudvayne, and expanded to Japan, the U.K. and Israel. In 2016, Ozzfest returned to the U.S. for the first time since 2010, joining forces with Slipknot's Knotfest for the two-day Ozzfest Meets Knotfest in San Bernardino, Calif. The team-up happened again in 2017, and the most recent Ozzfest (not counting the 2022 Metaverse event) took place on New Year's Eve 2018 at the Forum in Inglewood, Calif.

Osbourne headlined tours between Ozzfests, including 1998's Ozzman Cometh Tour, 2001's Merry Mayhem Tour with Rob Zombie , 2002's Down to Earth Tour, 2008's Black Rain Tour, 2010-11's Scream World Tour and 2012-15's Ozzy and Friends.

He also hit the road with Black Sabbath several times. After Ozzfest 1997, the group staged a reunion tour in 1998-99 and played at Ozzfests in 1999, 2001, 2004 and 2005. Another reunion tour from 2012-14 coincided with the 13 album, and the group called it quits with The End Tour in 2016-17, commemorating the final hometown date with the live album The End: Live in Birmingham .

Osbourne, however, wasn't finished. He launched No More Tours II in April 2018, wrapping the North American leg with Ozzfest 2018. The trek was slated to continue, but Osbourne's various health issues — including the public disclosure of his Parkinson's diagnosis — and the coronavirus pandemic led to all dates being postponed. For now, the tour is finally scheduled to resume in Europe in May 2023.

Meanwhile, Osbourne performed live twice in 2022, joining Iommi for two Black Sabbath songs ("Iron Man" and "Paranoid") during the closing ceremony of Britain's Commonwealth Games on Aug. 8 and playing "Patient Number 9" and "Crazy Train" at the NFL Kickoff 2022 game on Sept. 8 in Inglewood.

THERE HAVE BEEN SCREENS (LARGE AND SMALL)

A decade after "retirement," Osbourne and his family (sans oldest child Aimee) starred in the smash-hit reality series The Osbournes , which premiered March 5, 2002, on MTV and ran for four seasons and 52 episodes before going off the air in March 2005. The clan got together again for Osbournes Reloaded , a variety show that aired on Fox in 2009 but was canceled after its first episode. In September 2022, The Sun reported that the BBC would reboot  The Osbournes , following Osbourne and his wife and manager Sharon 's move from Los Angeles back to England. However, it's unclear how the metal patriarch feels about that.

"I've got to be honest; I'm not really keen on TV," he said in 2015. "That Reloaded thing, I didn't want to do that in the first place. When they canned the show, thank God, I was happy about it. I'm not the television guy, you know? My main thing is music and rock 'n' roll. I was always surprised [ The Osbournes ] took off in the first place. I still, to be honest with you, don't understand how it happened the way it did. And people didn't have a clue I was involved in rock 'n' roll all my life. They'd stop me in the street and say, 'What are you doing now?' 'Oh, I'm doing my rock 'n' roll.' 'Oh, are you doing that as well?' It amazed me that people only knew me from the TV show. I don't really like that."

Osbourne's son Jack also made his directorial debut with 2011's God Bless Ozzy Osbourne , an acclaimed and revealing documentary about his father's life and career. Initially titled Wreckage of My Past: The Ozzy Osbourne Story ,  God Bless offers an even-handed and intimate portrait of the rocker's triumphs and tribulations. "Jack's done a great job," Osbourne said at the time. "I told him not to go easy on me. I'm sure a lot of people thought, 'Oh, it's his dad, he can't tell the whole truth,' but I told him he could. And he had to for it to be legitimate. ... How much do I have to hide, really?"

The father-son duo teamed up again in 2016 for Ozzy & Jack's World Detour , another reality series — first for the History channel, then A&E — which took the pair to various historical sites to study them as only the Osbournes can.

"It's just, like, a father-son spoof on history," Ozzy said before the show's premiere. "I kind of stop at World War II, so we go all kinds of places. Area 51 with the UFOs; we went to Stonehenge and met a guy who thinks he's the fucking reincarnation of King Arthur; we went to Bletchley Park to see the [Nazi] code-breaking machine. ... It's all kind of interesting, with an Osbourne twang to it." Osbourne's daughter Kelly  joined for the third (and, thus far, final) season in 2018, and there are talks about it resuming in some fashion.

Jack was at the helm again for The Osbournes Want to Believe , a 2020 Travel Channel series in which he and his parents examine unexplained events to decide if they believe in them or not. Ozzy has also made frequent onscreen cameos over the years, often as himself, in vehicles such as The Jerky Boys: The Movie , South Park , the U.K.'s The X-Factor , Austin Powers in Goldmember , Gnomeo & Juliet , Fish Hooks , Bubble Guppies , Ghostbusters: Answer the Call , Sherlock Gnomes and Trolls World Tour , among others.

In October 2021, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne also confirmed a biopic  focusing on their relationship, particularly from 1979-96, written by Lee Hall ( Rocketman , Billy Elliot ) with involvement from daughter Aimee. Not much else is known about the film, but in November 2022, Osbourne told Consequence  that he "[doesn't] want to have anyone like Johnny Depp act as me. I rather have someone who is relatively unknown.”

THERE HAVE BEEN PAGES

Osbourne has a pair of books to his credit as well. The forthright memoir I Am Ozzy , co-written with Chris Ayres, was published in 2009. More surprising, however, was 2012's  Trust Me, I'm Dr. Ozzy: Advice From Rock's Ultimate Survivor , an outgrowth of his "Ask Dr. Ozzy" health column for Britain's Sunday Times.

"It's not serious," Osbourne said of the work at the time. "I mean, I'm the last fucking person to ask for help. I'm not a fucking doctor. I don't know what I'm talking about most of the time. A lot of what I talk about is basically common sense. I know when you're in that hole, you want somebody to help you out of it, and it's very hard for a lot of people to ask for help. So if they feel like they can ask me and I can give somebody some sensible information, maybe I can help, you know?"

AND THERE HAS BEEN "NEWS"

A comfortable, quiet life didn't await Osbourne post-"retirement," and the man who once made headlines biting the heads off bats and urinating on war memorials  has continued to provide fodder for the tabloids.

Much of it has been related to health issues. On Dec. 8, 2003, Osbourne flipped a four-wheel ATV while riding around his estate in Buckinghamshire, England, breaking multiple ribs, his left collarbone and a cervical vertebra, with blood seeping into his lungs. Kelly Osbourne wrote in her memoir that he even flatlined briefly before being brought back to life, at which point he told an EMS worker, "Don't fuck up my tattoos!" The vertebra injury required a steel rod to be inserted into his back to repair it.

Osbourne was hospitalized  in February 2019 for a "severe upper-respiratory infection," postponing the European leg of No More Tours II. While he was recovering, he was seriously injured while falling in his Los Angeles home, and in January 2020, his Parkinson's disease diagnosis was made public, leading to the cancellation of the European and North American legs of No More Tours II.

The singer became embroiled in a bitter lawsuit during the early 2000s when his Blizzard of Ozz rhythm section, bassist Bob Daisley and drummer Lee Kerslake , claimed he owed them outstanding royalties and proper credits on his first two solo albums, Blizzard  and Diary of a Madman , and the 1987 live LP  Tribute , as well as reissues. The United States District Court in Los Angeles dismissed the cases in 2003. The Osbournes exacted revenge by reissuing the albums with newly recorded parts from  Metallica 's Robert Trujillo and Faith No More 's Mike Bordin, but they restored the original performances for the 30th-anniversary reissues of the titles.

Daisley played with Osbourne through 1991's  No More Tears , while Kerslake left in 1981 and returned to his pre-Ozzy band Uriah Heep , with whom he played until 2007. (He died in September 2020.)

The Osbournes made a memorable appearance at the 2002 White House Correspondents' dinner, invited by Fox News' Greta Van Susteren. Then-President George W. Bush shouted the rocker out during his speech, telling him, "Ozzy, mom [former first lady Barbara Bush] loves your stuff."

Ozzy and Sharon's volatile relationship, documented on The Osbournes , went through rough patches, including a 2013 separation during one of the singer's substance abuse relapses. Sharon told her co-hosts on The Talk  in March 2016 that Osbourne had affairs with some of the family's nannies as well as other women. The Osbournes separated again shortly afterward when Sharon discovered her husband had been having an affair with celebrity hairdresser Michelle Pugh, who'd had Ozzy as a client since 2011.

The two eventually reconciled, celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary in July 2022 at the Beverly Hills Hotel. "We never gave up on each other," Sharon said on a later episode of The Talk . "I wasn't a saint. Ozzy wasn't a saint. I gave him as good as he gave me. We're just meant to be."

November 15, 1992: Ozzy Osbourne’s ‘Final’ Concert

costa1

Osbourne with Sabbath in ’92

It helped bring us to where we were supposed to be in 2023: Ozzy Osbourne doing a final world tour, only the 1992 retirement was with Black Sabbath . Osbourne had recently gotten sober, and following his 1991 No More Tears album – Ozzy’s sixth solo release and a #7 hit album – was playing his “No More Tours” jaunt that he claimed was his last tour (he said he wanted to spend more time home with his family). He invited Sabbath to open its last two shows at the Pacific Amphitheater in Costa Mesa, CA on November 14-15, 1992. These would be their first shows together since Live Aid in 1985.

Ozzy’s former bandmates Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler were game. They had recently reunited with Sabbath singer Ronnie James Dio (who had replaced Osbourne) and made the Dehumanizer album. But Dio refused to play the shows – maybe something to do with the dwarf nicknamed “Ronnie” that on a previous Ozzy tour he would hang by the neck until dead at the peak of the concerts? Dio did his last show with Sabbath on November 13 in Oakland, Calif., and departed back to his own career.

Rob Halford of Judas Priest stepped in to sing with Sabbath opening for Ozzy. Osbourne joined Sabbath both nights for second encores of the songs “Black Sabbath,” “Fairies Wear Boots,” “Iron Man” and “Paranoid.”

And of course, Ozzy returned to the road with his “Retirement Sucks Tour” three years later. We really couldn’t make up tales like this one if we tried.

Black Sabbath’s massive “The End” tour came to a close on February 4, 2017. It began in Omaha, Neb., on January 20, 2016.

And, then, naturally, Ozzy reversed course and announced another farewell tour, dubbed No More Tours 2 , which began in 2018 and, after numerous stops and starts due to various health issues, was expected to continue in 2020. It moved to 2023, with the European and U.K. tour scheduled to begin that May 3 with Judas Priest as the opening act. Osbourne ultimately cancelled it.

Somehow, he managed to release a new studio album, Ordinary Man , in 2020, and another, Patient Number 9 , in 2022.

"When I’m onstage, it’s my world": what happened when we joined Ozzy Osbourne on his final ever tour in 2018

In 2018, Ozzy Osbourne kicked off No More Tours 2. We headed to South America to witness the Prince Of Darkness on form and as determined as ever

Ozzy Osbourne live on stage in 2016

Back in 2018, Louder's Paul Brannigan was flown to South America to join Ozzy Osbourne on the early stops of his mammoth final world tour, No More Tours 2. Though today's announcement that Ozzy is officially retired from touring means we'll never see that trek reach its final legs, at the time, we found the Prince Of Darkness in as entertaining and candid form as ever - and a man determined to continue hitting the road as long as his health would let him.

Metal Hammer line break

Santiago’s Cementerio General is an extraordinary place, as beautiful as it is haunting. A true city of the dead, it’s a sprawling 210-acre complex of ornate tombs and elegant mausoleums, the final resting place of approximately two million Chilean citizens. All but two of the deceased former Presidents of Chile are interred here. Significantly, there’s no plot for the CIA-sponsored dictator Augusto Pinochet: there is, however, a chilling monument to the thousands of Chileans who were ‘disappeared’ by the military during his brutal regime. Here and there, teddy bears, cuddly toys and cloth dolls are tied to trees and stone crucifixes, heart-wrenching reminders of young children taken from their families too soon. For all its architectural splendor and undoubted historical significance, this is not a location one would wish to explore in the hours of darkness.

“I remember seeing The Exorcist ,” says Ozzy Osbourne , a figure in black shuffling carefully between the ossuaries. “ Black Sabbath were in Philadelphia. The manager, Patrick Meehan, comes in and says, ‘You gotta see this film’. So the four of us, Black Sabbath, go to see this fucking film, and we were so fucking scared, that we had to spend the night together in one room. We‘re supposed to be the Satan band, and we’re all in one bed, scared shitless. We had to go to see The Sting afterwards to get our minds off it!”

The Prince Of Darkness is in an upbeat mood, largely, one suspects, because this afternoon’s photo session affords him a vista other than the interior of a hotel suite, dressing room or airport lounge. So pleased is he, indeed, that later this same evening he’ll send a late night text to photographer Ross Halfin: ‘Come take some photos of me in the bath,’ it reads. “I’ll leave the door on the latch…”

Santiago is just the fourth stop on the singer’s current No More Tours 2 trek, titled with a knowing wink to his 1992 ‘retirement’ tour, but in his 50th year of touring, Ozzy has settled back easily into familiar routines. The private jet which transports the 69-year-old singer between gigs now might represent a serious upgrade on the battered Commer van which once wheezed between Black Sabbath’s engagements in continental Europe when Osbourne was still a wet behind the ears Brummie teenager, but essentially, the job – bringing music to the masses - remains the same.

Sabbath never made it to South America while Ozzy was in the band first time around, but finally played Chile on their farewell The End tour: “It was like Beatlemania in a heavy metal way,” Ozzy recalls. The singer first visited South America in January 1985, for the inaugural staging of the mammoth Rock In Rio festival, a 10-day event which drew some 1.4 million people to a purpose-built City Of Rock, with Queen, AC/DC , Yes and Rod Stewart among the headline ‘turns’. On that occasion, Ozzy recalls, he was booked for a photo session by a river in Rio de Janeiro, along the banks of which locals had laid out candles and plates of fruit. During a lull in proceedings, the singer recalls picking up an apple and taking a bite, to the immediate and very visible consternation of his horrified hosts. 

“Everyone was like, ‘No! No! No!’,” he laughs. “It was a voodoo offering, and so everyone freaked.”

By his own admission, Ozzy is a very superstitious man. He may no longer wear the silver metal cross his father Jack crafted for each member of Black Sabbath to ward off evil spirits back in the ’70s, but he remains reluctant to meddle with forces he does not understand. And with just three dates of his final world tour ticked off the docket, today he’s taking some convincing that his freshly-launched, long farewell campaign isn’t cursed.

To understand the thinking behind Ozzy’s intuition, we must rewind a few days, to the evening of Friday, May 4. The travelling party’s private jet is descending towards an airstrip outside Mexico City, with just ten minutes remaining of a four-hour flight from Los Angeles, when Sharon Osbourne leans across the seat to her husband and gently says, “Ozzy, I’ve got something to tell you.”

“I go, ‘What’s that darling?’,” says Ozzy, replaying the scene. “She goes, ‘I haven’t brought my passport’. And I go, ‘You’re fucking joking…’”

Upon touching down in Mexico, with promises being made that the absent travel document will be couriered in on the next south-bound flight from LA, it initially appears that immigration officials at the airport will take a common-sense, if law-bending, view of Mrs O’s misfortune, will come to assess that the internationally-famous wife of one of the planet’s most recognisable rock stars is perhaps unlikely to represent a serious threat to the security of the state. But in times of heightened political rhetoric, acts of mercy can be interpreted as signs of weakness, and as negotiations at the airport continue, word is passed down the chain of command to the effect that this particular visitor from North America – citizen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland as she might be – will not be permitted to officially enter the country. Instead, the order decrees, Mrs Osbourne must spend the night aboard the jet on the airstrip, and will be cleared to return to Los Angeles at dawn. 

Ozzy Osbourne is infinitely sharper than you might realise. This being the case, he’s entirely mindful that comments made in anger - let’s say, for the sake of argument, comments pertaining to the current incumbent of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW in the District of Columbia and his belligerent, antagonistic, attitude to the United States’ southern neighbour - could inadvertently land him in hot water if taken out of context. So while prefacing his reaction to this irritation with the disclaimer, “I’m not politically motivated: when people ask me about the governments, I don’t know what the fuck I’m talking about”, he will quietly add, “It’s anti-North America here… like, ‘Don’t tell us what to do, leave us alone, you fuck your own country up.'” Given that the singer is already recuperating from a dose of bronchitis, his mood is in no way improved by the absence of his beloved spouse: were life a cartoon, the singer’s every move in Mexico City would be shadowed by an ominous black cloud.

Ozzy is here for date three of the No More Tours 2 campaign, which will find him headlining night two of the Heaven and Hell Festival – Mexico’s premier heavy metal weekender – atop a bill featuring Saxon, Megadeth , Judas Priest and more. That the show day falls on Cinco de Mayo, an annual celebration held to commemorate the Mexican Army’s unlikely triumph over the French empire at the Battle of Puebla, on May 5, 1862, promises to lend an extra frisson to the occasion.

We are instructed by Ozzy’s super-efficient German tour manager Thomas Reitz to meet with the touring party at 6:40pm by the elevators on the 12th floor of our luxury hotel. It’s here that we are introduced to Ozzy’s band – long-time guitar foil Zakk Wylde , bassist Rob ‘Blasko’ Nicholson, drummer Tommy Clufetos and keyboard player Adam ‘Son of Rick’ Wakeman – his personal security guard Eddie Mendoza, and the man himself. The festival promoters have arranged that the group will be given a police escort to the event site, Autodrómo Hermanos Rodríguez, and so, within 5 minutes of our rendezvous, this writer and the ‘talent’ are smuggled out of the hotel’s back entrance and ushered into a fleet of black SUVs with tinted windows. We’re soon hurtling through the streets of Mexico City, its notoriously chaotic traffic magically melting away as speeding motorcycle outriders swerve ahead, blocking lanes and opening up hitherto clogged transport arteries. It is, to be honest, fantastically exhilarating and a rare fleeting insight into one aspect of the lifestyles of the (filthy) rich and infamous. 

There are few such luxuries immediately apparent at the festival site. In common with backstage areas at similar events across the globe, a mini-village of marquees and portacabins has been erected for the artists and industry schmoozers and, upon disembarking from the caravan, the musicians disappear into their respective sanctuaries. Ozzy’s dressing room area is an alcohol-free zone, and his backstage rider requirements are unfussy and relatively basic. As the singer maintains a strict sugar-and-gluten-free diet, the emphasis is on organic fruits and nuts, along with, rather charmingly, a stated demand for a box of PG Tips teabags and a box of Yorkshire Tea. 

As is the current etiquette for touring artists, there’s a meet-and-greet with (fully-paid-up) VIP guests to negotiate pre-show – a handshake, a photo, an autograph and off you pop, gracias – and Ozzy also takes the opportunity to exchange pleasantries with his old friends in Judas Priest , just along the corridor. “They’re from Birmingham, they’re just the lads,” he says. “I’ve known them for years. Rob [Halford] is a great singer.” And, as soon as Priest finish their hugely enjoyable set on the festival’s Heaven stage, the adjoining Hell stage is illuminated in light and, at 10:50pm, it’s showtime.

Ozzy Osbourne on stage in Santiago, Chile in 2018

A few observations from gig number three of No More Tours 2. Firstly, Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana is still the most recognisable, and thrilling, intro music in heavy metal. Secondly, following a period in exile, during which Ozzy recorded his most recent studio album, 2010’s Scream , with Greek guitarist Gus G , it’s oddly reassuring to see Black Label Society mainman Zakk Wylde back at Ozzy’s side. And thirdly, the 80,000 plus heavy metal fans filling the Autodrómo Hermanos Rodríguez to capacity tonight really, really, really love John Michael Osbourne. Every gap in the set-list is punctuated by deafening chants of “Ozz-ee! Ozz-ee!” and with the revealing of each successive heavy metal standard in the action-packed set-list – Bark At The Moon into Mr. Crowley into I Don’t Know into Sabbath’s Fairies Wears Boots – a sense of communal hysteria escalates. From our on-stage vantage point just behind Adam Wakeman’s keyboards, with laser beams strafing the darkness, it’s quite a sight.

Given such close access to the performers, however, it soon becomes apparent that Ozzy is not entirely happy with how the gig is unfolding. More specifically, it’s clear that he’s not satisfied with his vocals, as a combination of the altitude and his bronchitis are affecting his breathing. Ahead of No More Tears , the title track of the singer’s 1991 album and the sixth song listed in black type on the set-list taped to the stage, Ozzy wanders across to shout in Blasko’s left ear. The bassist then repeats the message to Adam Wakeman as Ozzy heads towards Zakk Wylde. With zero drama, the song is dropped, and the band go seamlessly into Road To Nowhere instead. 

Solo spots for Wylde and Clufetos give the vocalist time to compose himself out of sight of the audience, and a decision is taken to drop Flying High Again also. Ozzy is noticeably happier when he returns to the stage, and the home straight, starting with Shot In the Dark and climaxing with – what else? – Paranoid is joyous heavy metal theatre. There’s no time for self-congratulatory back-slapping, however: the final howls from Wylde’s amps are still resonating as the band pile back into their getaway vehicles, their daredevil police escorts already gunning their engines for a high-speed exit to the airport. Ozzy is still unhappy, but post-mortems can wait, and conversation is muted as the motorway ahead opens up.

If anyone is tempted to think that, for artists of advancing years in particular, live gigs are simply a cynical cash-grab opportunity, mere showbiz routine, they should try spending an hour with Ozzy Osbourne in the wake of a performance he deems below par. Sitting in his hotel room on the 16th floor of Santiago’s Intercontinental Hotel a full 36 hours after the Mexico City gig, the singer is still downcast, still picking apart his own contributions to the night, this despite him also insisting “You have to leave the last gig on the stage.”

“It was not my intention to sing like a fucking asshole!” he says with a sigh. “I’ve been taking this fucking stuff [to aid recovery from bronchitis] and when I went to the doctor I said, Don’t give me anything that’s going to dry me out. It’s all fucked up, very frustrating.”

“People say, ‘Oh, it didn’t sound that bad out there’, but to me, when I’m performing, it’s like putting two E-strings on a guitar: you’ve strung it wrong, and it doesn’t sound how you want it. It’s a personal thing. In my head I want to give them everything, but it don’t work sometimes. If I can’t do it onstage and I’m not having fun with it, I get fucking angry with myself. But I’m only human, you know?”

“So when I get to the gig and sing like an asshole, it’s like, this fucking thing is cursed! Sharon sent me a text saying, ‘Darling, it’s not cursed, it’s just teething problems’. It’s a new day, a new gig. But if it goes again, I’ll be pissed off again.” 

Niggling problems notwithstanding, the singer is in rude health, a testament to his rigorous health and fitness regime. It was not always thus. Recalling his first ever trip to South America in 1985, he recounts boarding the Rio-bound flight directly from an enforced six week stay in the Betty Ford Clinic, then immediately getting “fucking loaded” on the plane. 

“I woke up with my wife stabbing me in the chest with a fucking dinner fork,” he laughs. “I’d never gone six weeks without a drink before. It took me a long while to get that under control. Now I don’t drink, I don’t smoke, I don’t do dope…” 

Asked how’s he spent his first couple of days in Chile, he points to a clunky-looking exercise bike across the room. “It’s like something out of the fucking Stone Age. I exercise every day, the endorphins are great!”

“You try to find things to occupy your mind. Or it’s… " and here Ozzy attempts to convey the vision of a demon and angel perched on his shoulders, and adopts an evil whispering voice… ‘You’re going to sing like a cunt!’”

The singer is at pains today to stress that this is not his farewell tour, merely his last full-scale world tour. “Sabbath’s was a farewell tour,” he notes, “but I’m not stopping, I’m not retiring. This could go on for the rest of my life.” Pressed on whether the world might also see a new Ozzy record this decade, the singer is less confident, though reveals that he has “10 songs ready to go, really strong ideas, melodies, lyrics, everything…”

“But a new record? There’s no point,” he says bluntly. “You make a record, it costs you this much to make, and then they steal it. Why do I want to spend my money on that?”

Talk returns to his first ever South America trip. Ozzy remembers meeting Great Train Robber Ronnie Biggs (“pathetic and sad”), the smell of the City Of Rock being “fucking unbelievable” as 1.4 million people used the site as an outdoor toilet for 10 days, and hours of entertainment sitting on the hotel rooftop watching fearless local kids swiping cameras from jet-lagged foreign paparazzi all day long. 

“I remember getting on this big military helicopter and on one side there was cardboard over the windows. I thought, What the fuck is that all about? So I peeled off the cardboard. And the guy goes, ‘No, leave it alone! It’s a bad representation of Brazil!’ What it was, was that you could see the shanty towns, and they were embarrassed about it. It’s fucking nuts there, you’re either wealthy or you’re dirt poor.”

There’ll be no opportunity for such sight-seeing this time around. In Santiago, Ozzy will only leave his hotel suite when duty calls.

“I’d be walking around like a fucking scrapyard with all this junk on,” he says,” jangling the chunky gold jewellery on his right wrist for added effect. “I’d get killed for a watch!”

The gaggle of hardcore Ozzy fans who sit patiently outside the front doors of the Intercontinental Hotel for the duration of his stay in Santiago, have no obvious designs on the singer’s expensive timepiece, it should be stated. All they want is an autograph on the CD sleeves, albums and posters in their backpacks, or a photo, or a hug. None of this will happen. But despite being informed, regularly, that Mr Osbourne will not be coming out to play, they sit on. Among their number are Santiago residents Valentina Peñaloza and her 17-year-old sister Carolina, who has been gifted tickets for Ozzy’s May 8 show at the Movistar Arena for her 18th birthday, which falls on the same day. “Ozzy changed music forever,” says Carolina, “he invented heavy metal. His music has had such an impact upon my family and I. That’s why I’m here, and that’s why I’ll be in the front row of his concert.”

Ozzy exits for the gig by the hotel back door at precisely 4:45pm. Neither Carolina nor her sister will see him leave.

At 9:15pm, resplendent in purple, Ozzy walks on to the stage of the Movistar Arena and asks the 17,000-strong crowd, “Are you ready to go fucking crazy?” The answer is unanimously affirmative. “Let the madness begin!” Ozzy shrieks. 

This time, the gig goes off without a hitch. No More Tears and Flying High Again are restored to the set-list, for 90 minutes Ozzy holds the arena in the palm of his hand, treating the crowd less like customers in his shop than guests in his home. He’s in constant motion, an impish master of ceremonies, king of the night time world again. Before Shot In The Dark he even asks the crowd to cheer loudly for Sharon – “who’s back in Los Angeles”. The texts between the pair tonight, one fancies, will be rather more upbeat.

Ozzy is still grinning as he scrambles out of his SUV back at the hotel an hour later. “That was good, wasn’t it?” he says. 

This is what you still live for, isn’t it?

“When I’m onstage it’s my world,” he replies, nodding in agreement. “No-one can go, ‘Wear this, do this, say that’, whatever. I can do what I want to do. They can’t be Ozzy, and Ozzy can’t be them.” 

“I’m not the greatest singer,” he admits, “but I know how to get a crowd going. That’s my thing. What was it that Simon Cowell said? I’m not a singer, I’m a showman. If I just stood there going, [ drones ] I’m going off the rails… Somebody please throw a bottle at me!”

For a moment, the years roll back, and Ozzy is transported back to his native Birmingham, as he shares one last anecdote.

“Before I got successful with Sabbath,” he says, “I was in a band called Rare Breed, doing, like, blues or psychedelic stuff. One night [at a gig] the leader of the band came up to me and said, ‘We don’t do that.’ I said, Do what? He said, ‘Do what you do. We don’t move around, it’s not cool.’ I said, I’ll tell you what is cool then. Finding another singer, because I’m fucking off!’”

And with that, The Prince Of Darkness chortles and drags his wheelie bag into the hotel lift. Tomorrow he’ll be flying high again.

OZZY OSBOURNE Announces 'No More Tours 2' North American Dates With STONE SOUR

Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductee and Grammy -winning singer and songwriter Ozzy Osbourne earlier today (February 6) revealed details about his forthcoming "No More Tours 2" , a reference to his 1992 "No More Tours" trek. The announcement by the legendary musical icon about the North American dates — with his longtime collaborators Zakk Wylde (guitar), Rob "Blasko" Nicholson (bass), Tommy Clufetos (drums) and Adam Wakeman (keyboards) — was made to international media in attendance at his Los Angeles home.

The initial North American dates produced by Live Nation kick off August 30 in Allentown, Pennsylvania and conclude October 13 in Las Vegas, Nevada, with a Thursday, October 11 stop at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles; Ozzy will be joined by STONE SOUR for this leg of the tour. Tickets for these shows go on sale to the general public starting Saturday, February 17 at 10:00 a.m. (local time) at LiveNation.com and through the Live Nation app. Citi is the official presale credit card of the tour. As such, Citi cardmembers will have access to purchase presale tickets beginning Wednesday, February 14 at 10:00 a.m. (local time) until Friday, February 16 at 10:00 p.m. (local time) through Citi 's Private Pass program.

Prior to the full North American run, Ozzy will officially launch the "No More Tours 2" in Mexico in May, before heading to South America for solo shows in three countries. Next up, a six-week European leg of headlining solo dates and festival performances that's set to begin Friday, June 1 in Moscow, Russia.

"I've been extremely blessed to have had two successful music careers," Osbourne says. "I'm looking at this final tour as being a huge celebration for my fans and anyone who has enjoyed my music over the past five decades."

On his upcoming farewell world tour, produced by Live Nation , Osbourne will celebrate more than five decades as a performer (both as a solo artist and as lead singer of BLACK SABBATH which formed in 1968). This tour, expected to take Ozzy around the world with dates into 2020, will mark the end of global touring for the legendary artist, though he will continue to perform select live shows in the future. Throughout his career, Ozzy has sold more than 100 million records.

Want to hear more about the Ozzy tour from the Prince of Darkness himself? Ozzy has partnered with Ticketmaster to spread the word about the tour with a new message on the Ticketmaster app for the Google Assistant on phones, speakers like Google Home and other compatible devices. Fans can trigger the app by saying, "Hey Google , talk to Ticketmaster ," which will offer special messages from the Prince of Darkness himself. Fans will then be invited by Sharon Osbourne to hear details about Ozzy 's upcoming Live Nation tour dates. This new marketing tool expands the ways for Ozzy 's millions of fans to find out about his tour and provides a fun, first of its kind experience.

For the tour, Ozzy has teamed with the Love, Hope, Strength, Foundation . At Love Hope Strength ( LHS ),their mission is to save lives, one concert at a time. We, along with Love Hope Strength , believe that all people deserve quality cancer care, a marrow donor if needed, and most importantly, hope.

Ozzy told The Pulse Of Radio a while back that he wanted to keep performing for fans as long as he could. "I don't wanna stop, you know," he said. "It's been the biggest love affair of my life. When you reach a certain age in rock 'n' roll, people think, 'Well, this has got to be his last tour,' or 'This has got to be his last tour,' or 'You've got to come next Tuesday 'cause he ain't gonna do it after that.' You'll know when I've come off the road permanently. I mean, you'll know!"

This is not the first time Ozzy has announced the end of his days as a touring artist. Back in 1992, he called it quits after his "No More Tours" tour — a pun based on the title of his then-most recent solo album, "No More Tears" — with his solo band, only to return to action three years later.

Ozzy has not released an all-new solo album since 2010's "Scream" , having spent the last few years touring with BLACK SABBATH and recording that band's "13" album.
