Sharon Osbourne.The former “The Talk” co-host, 71, revealed his music plans in an interview with Rolling Stone UK during her Cut the Crap tour stop in London on Sunday.“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,’ ” she explained.“We will do it in Aston Villa where Ozzy is from.

His voice is still absolutely perfect,” she went on. “And all the time he has been off, he still does his singing lessons so his voice is perfect.

And he can joke.”“He has all these melodies in his head. Even if you don’t like his music, you can’t not like Ozzy, he just draws you in.”Last year, the Black Sabbath frontman told the publication that he was “f – – king pissed off” that he “never got the chance to say goodbye or thank you” to his fans amid his multiple health woes.“For whatever reason, that’s my goal to work to.

To do those shows. If it’s at Ozzfest or somewhere, or even a f – – king gig at the Roundhouse. If I can’t continue doing shows on a regular basis, I just want to be well enough to do one show where I can say, ‘Hi guys, thanks so much for my life,'” he said for its December/January 2024 cover story.He continued: “That’s what I’m working towards, and if I drop down dead at the end of it, I’ll die a happy man.”Ozzy, who cancelled his UK and European tour dates in February 2023, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2003.
