Black Sabbath finale now scheduled for 2016
By Chris Cooke | Published on Wednesday 29 April 2015
Ozzy Osbourne has said that a final farewell album and tour from Black Sabbath (minus Bill Ward, presumably) is still in the pipeline, even though what was originally billed as a finale Sabbath show – Ozzfest Japan in November – is now a solo show for the singer.
According to Metal Hammer, Osbourne told the Monsters Of Rock press conference in Brazil: “The plan is that next year we’ll do the final Black Sabbath tour and album. I’m not stopping… my wife spends all my money, so I can’t”.
But, he said, those plans could still change, adding: “We all live in different countries and some of them want to work and some of them don’t want to, I believe. But we are going to do another tour together”.
