(hennemusic) Black Sabbath will launch their 2016 farewell tour on January 20 in Omaha, NE. Billed as "The End", the trek marks the group's final series of live shows after a five-decade career and frontman Ozzy Osbourne explains in a new interview why the band decided not to record a final album.
"It's the end of Sabbath and people have been asking 'well I thought you were doing an album," Ozzy tells news.com.au. "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.
"Just to be remembered is enough for me," he adds. "I thought no one would remember me when we first started playing music. I'd rather end it now though than drag it out for another five albums. I mean I'm 67 in December."
Osbourne has plans of his own once the Sabbath machine shuts down for good. "Well I did pretty well for 35 years, and I'm not retiring," Ozzy explains. "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."
"It's going to be a really special album," Epic Records president Sylvia Rhone revealed in August. "It's going to be amazing, it's something Ozzy has never done before that he's always wanted to do."

The last three studio albums have sucked. Suggestion number one - don't let the producer write all the music. Suggestion number two - don't hire a bunch of pop songwriters to write all the music, Ozzy singing Aerosmith-type material does not work. Suggestion number three - hire a guitar player with actual songwriting skills and let him write most of the music.

Billy Idol guitarist Steve Stevens confirmed in a new interview that he has worked on music with Ozzy Osbourne for the Black Sabbath frontman's new solo album.
When asked about the reports of working with Ozzy, Stevens told All That Shreds "Yes. I did a session. The rhythm guitar player in Billy Idol is Billy Morrison, one of Ozzy's best friends so he asked me to do some writing with Ozzy.
"We spent about a week working on some tunes and I haven't heard anything so I guess he's really happy with them - so yes, I did some writing and recording with him."
He was then asked if he would "step in" if Ozzy called on to help with the new solo material (assuming it was the recording on the music), and Stevens replied, "Well, that's what it's for, for his next solo record, so yes, of course! If it's recording I would - as far as touring I'm really dedicated to Billy Idol."

I don't mean to be glib in the face of a terrible disease, but is anyone who watched "The Osbournes" surprised by this? My wife and I thought he had Parkinson's back then.

Honestly that show is one of the reasons I hate Sharon. He obviously had some issues aside from the years of drug use, yet she l chose to make money by parading those in front of cameras.

Can we just turn this into a Fuck Sharon thread?
The metal community will never forgive her for replacing Daisley and Kerslake's parts on the first two albums. Unforgivable. And restoring them to their original form did NOT get her any forgiveness.
The other thing that demonstrated what a complete asshole she is was The Ozzman Cometh release where she had Daisley printed as Daisy and Soussan printed as Susan in the credits. Really? I stopped doing stuff like this on any serious level when I was probably in the third grade. Yeah, I may make a wise-ass comment on a message board...but for someone who should be a professional to have stuff like that printed in an album's credits is just juvenile beyond belief.
Can't believe some idiot actually put that old hag on TV. That must be what Geff is referring to when he talks about the lowest common denominator.
Fortunately I am in a good mood tonight or else I might have told you how I really feel.
