Ozzy Would Like To Extend Black Sabbath Farewell Tour

(Classic Rock) Ozzy Osbourne would like to see Black Sabbath's farewell tour extended beyond its end next year - but he accepts it's unlikely to happen. And he's preparing for the emotion to build up ahead of their last-ever concerts in their home city of Birmingham on February 2 and 4.

The band's The End tour is currently moving through Europe, with dates to follow in North and South America, before a final run in the UK. Ozzy tells Billboard: "We're doing 80 shows - it's good enough. I wouldn't mind extending the tour for another few gigs. There's a lot of people who won't get to see us, but I don't think it's going to happen."

He says of the tour so far: "It's great. I'm having a blast with it. Right now I'm okay with it. I'm sure as it starts counting down to five shows left or something, it's going to be kind of emotional." Read more here.
