The 69-year-old closed 50 years of Black Sabbath last year back in his hometown of Birmingham.
Ozzy continues to perform as a solo artist, but is he going to pack it all when it comes to touring?
The rock legend has announced a US leg of his No More Tours 2 – a reference to his last attempt to end his world touring with No More Tours in the 1990s – but claims he’s not actually retiring from music.
Speaking with Rolling Stone, he said: “I’m not retiring. It's No More Tours, so I'm just not doing world tours anymore.”

Ozzy Osbourne says he will still do gigs, but stop world touring after No More Tours 2
Ozzy continued: “I’m still going to be doing gigs, but I'm not going on tour for six months at a time anymore. I'd like to spend some time at home.
“I’ve experienced fantastic things; it's been an incredible journey. I just need to slow it down a little.”
The star is even considering a new album after this tour since he has “eight or nine good song ideas.”
