2007 Ozzfest to be Ozzy Osbourne’s last?
Ozzy Osbourne
Black Sabbath star implies retirement
Black Sabbath star Ozzy Osbourne has suggested this year’s Ozzfest, which starts on July 12 in Seattle, might well be his last.
In a new interview with Guitar World magazine, 58 year-old Osbourne admitted he didn’t know how much longer he could continue doing the tour.
Speaking about his misgivings, Osbourne explained: "At my age, I don't know how many more of these tours I have left in me. This could be the last one. It's a hell of a lot of responsibility for me. If I get sick or if my voice gets blown out or whatever the f*** happens, and I can't make a show, the audience gets pretty f***ing mad."
Although he initially scaled back his participation last year, appearing at only half the dates, he is headlining every show this time.
Osbourne will release his first album of brand new material in six years, titled 'Black Rain', on May 22.
He added that this is the first record he has ever made whilst completely clean and sober.
