Following the supposed wrap that ended the touring life of the legendary Black Sabbath earlier this year, singer Ozzy Osbourne now appears to be following suit.

Ozzy has announced he will be embarking on a two-year “Farewell Tour” throughout the world in 2018 and 2019. Osbourne will be turning 69 years old in December but does clearly specify one thing for sure:

This will be my final world tour, but I can’t say I won’t do some shows here and there.”

Osbourne has announced a string of Mexican, South American, and European tour dates, and will announce a North American tour in 2018. These dates include several Festivals, including Download Festival in both Donnington and Paris, Sweden Rock Festival, and Tons Of Rock Festival.
