OZZY OSBOURNE - “It’s The End Of BLACK SABBATH, But I’m Doing A Solo Album And Tour”

In a new interview with News.com.au, Ozzy Osbourne says that Black Sabbath maybe ending their legendary run, but he’s not going anywhere. Here are a few excerpts from the chat:

On the end of Black Sabbath…

Ozzy: “It’s the end of Sabbath and people have been asking ‘well I thought you were doing an album. But the things we’ve discovered are — number one: People aren’t really interested in hearing new stuff and number two: If we were to do an album before the tour — it would take three or four years to complete the album. We want to end it on a high note.”

The future of Ozzy Osbourne?

Ozzy: “Well I did pretty well for 35 years — and I’m not retiring. I’m going to do a solo album and a solo tour. I mean my wife’s a shop-a-holic always off buying f—g shoes or something so I’ve got to keep the money coming somehow.”

On the Black Sabbath drumming situation and the issues with original drummer Bill Ward?

Ozzy: “It’s nearly Black Sabbath. Every time I talk about him I get into trouble — so I don’t know — I don’t think so.”

On his reaction to guitarist Tony Iommi fighting cancer?

Ozzy: “When Tony was diagnosed with lymphoma we are all ‘oh God why now?’. But in saying that we all got around him. He said to us ‘look If I sit at home in my house thinking I’m going to die — I’ll fucking probably will die. He’s a different person to everyone else — he’s one of those guys who say ‘what do I have to do to fucking beat this. I mean there’s never been a leader of Black Sabbath but I suppose in the early days it was him. But don’t forget in the very early days he left and joined Jethro Tull — but then he told them to go fuck themselves and came back. He has courage in his own conviction — he’s fucking unbelievable.”
