Ozzy Osbourne Says He Will Only Retire When “I can hear them nail a lid on my box”

Ozzy Osbourne, former Black Sabbath lead singer, has again made it clear that he will not retire from music. Despite starting his second farewell tour, "No More Tours II", in April 2018, the singer made it clear that he does not intend to stop.

In other interviews, he had already said that the tour in question would be the last of the "big world tours", as he does not want to be away from the family too long. Now, during an interview with The Mirror, he reinforced that he does not intend to stop before he dies.

Ozzy Osbourne says: “You know the time when I will retire? When I can hear them nail a lid on my box. And then I’ll f***ing do an encore. I’m the Prince of Darkness.” Ozzy also added “When you feel that audience jumping, it’s a better feeling than orgasm. It is the best love affair of my life. The party is on, man. I feel honored people still want to see me.”

In typical Ozzy style, he also made some jokes: “To be Ozzy Osbourne it could be worse... I could be Sting.” When asked about his Parkinson’s diagnosis, Ozzy says: “Well the one questions from me was, ‘Is it a terminal illness?’, and the guy says, ‘No, but life is’. “It’s just another thing on my plate I have got to deal with. I’m not in the slightest worried about it.

“I’ve not got any secrets. The initial shock is I’ve got Parkinson’s. Nobody knows what the f*** it is. I didn’t know anything about it apart from the name.” Are you excited to attend to more Ozzy Osbourne shows? Great. The Prince Of Darkness is here to stay!
