Not much to add to that. I’ve always been a fan, but was never able to see him in concert.
I saw Ozzy on <looks up date> May 10th, 1986 on The Ultimate Sin tour. Great show, Metallica opened up for him, so I was also able to see Cliff Burton play just a few months before his death in September of that year.
So, since I had seen him in his late prime, I wasn’t really interested in seeing him in recent years. Still makes me sad to hear that he has to stop doing it.
Not unexpected, but sorry to see it happen.
Basically been going non-stop since the 60s. He’s 74 now, he’s earned it.
It’s a wonder he could do it that long, having seen how fucked up he was in “The Osbournes” twenty years ago.
It’s amazing that all of the original members of Black Sabbath are still alive, given their propensity for heavy-partying in their heyday. (And I say this as a huge fan of the band.) Each member started to curtail their habits in the 1990s, and thankfully so.
No kidding. Not a fan of metal, but there’s a big difference between being a 74 year old James Tayloresque singer/songwriter/sit-on-a-stool-with-a-guitar musician, and a 74 year old heavy metal headbanger.
Ozzy didn’t get sober until about 10 years ago at the age of 63. Maybe he was just waiting for retirement age. 
What I’ve heard of his latest album is pretty damn good. Doesn’t hurt that he had Jeff Beck (RIP) and Clapton playing on it! I know his voice gets pretty heavily processed, but he can still sing.
He was always wise enough to surround himself with outstanding musicians. Pulled Randy Rhoads and Zakk Wylde both out of relative obscurity and made them legends.
I saw him in 1992 on what was supposedly his farewell tour, so i’m skeptical.
Who knows. But he says he is now physically unable to travel, which is significant.
Randy was going places. I say Randy made Ozzy’s post Sabbath career. Ozzy, IMO, never equaled those first two records.
Sadly enough, their real singer passed some 10 years ago
;o)
I hear rumors he will be opening for the Stone’s final tour in 2025
