Black Sabbath announced that their farewell tour,"The End", will kick off this January. After the band vowed that this is the last tour that the band members will be performing, Black Sabbath's frontman Ozzy Osbourne allegedly revealed that he is currently working on his latest album.
According to The Guardian, the English rockers claimed that "The End" tour will feature three of the band's four members, including the band's singer Ozzy Osbourne. The band announced the schedule for the 24 tour, which will start on January 20 in Omaha, Nebraska in the US Midwest.
The band will be touring in the United States, including New York's Madison Square Garden, as well as Canada, Australia and New Zealand. However, the band's appears to have not set dates for any shows in Europe, including the band's native city of Birmingham, England.
Moreover, the band members did not specify who would be playing drums whether it is the drummer from Osbourne's solo career, Tommy Clufetos, or not. Previously, the band had confusion with the original drummer Bill Ward. They told Rolling Stone in April that the drummer did not know whether or not he was still a group member. "I wish them well, and I have no further comment," Ward mentioned in his statement about this tour.
On the other hand, Black Sabbath's vocalist is preparing for his next project. Reportedly, Osbourne is currently working on his new solo album after his first album in 2010 called Scream. Sylvia Rhone, the president of Epic Record, featured a set by Osbourne. Although she didn't provide particular details of Osbourne's album, she was delighted to hint Billboard by stating, "It's going to be a really special album. It's going to be amazing, it's something Ozzy has never done before that he's always wanted to do."
Way back in April, the lead singer said that the band is going to make one last record in 2016. The upcoming album is said to be the follow-up to 2013′s "13" and goes aboard for a farewell tour. Whether or not Osbourne's new solo album makes the Sabbath finale longer than expected, any further details are yet to be determined in the future.
Meanwhile, Black Sabbath had been scheduled to headline Ozzfest Japan in November, but that was changed to an "Ozzy and Friends" date, with the "friends" being Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler and a three-guitar attack of Tom Morello, Zakk Wylde and Dave Navarro. Moreover, on the Halloween night, Osbourne, Butler and Morello, with Slash, will be making their appearance at the VooDoo Music + Arts Experience in New Orleans.
