Despite tour name, Ozzy Osbourne says he’s not retiring

Earlier this year, we reported that Osbourne would be embarking on the second part of his 1992 “No More Tours” trek. While the name suggests that he’ll be putting an end to things after the run, Osbourne is insisting that isn’t the case at all.

“What I’m stopping is doing what I’m doing now, going around the world all the time,” Osbourne shared with Philadelphia’s The Inquirer. “I wish people would understand I’m not retiring. Is it my bad English accent? It’s called the ‘No More Tours tour. It doesn’t say ‘No more tours ever.’”
