Michael Dwyer at The Sydney Morning Herald recently spoke with legendary Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne, who discussed the appalling number of deaths in the music world recently and the end of the band. Following is an excerpt from the story:
Sabbath has seen numerous incarnations over the decades, with guitarist Tony Iommi the sole constant. But this year's marathon run through North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand is all about those first three unassailable albums of 1970-71, before the wheels fell off in a state of chemically enhanced exhaustion.
"I mean, living on the road is good in one respect," Osbourne stammers, "but it takes its toll eventually because when you're away from home, you do all sorts of things to pass the time away because you only really work for a couple of hours a day.
"You've got all that free time and I used to f---ing burn the candle at both ends forever."
These days, "none of us get loaded. We all go to bed at a reasonable time and have days off. It's the way it should be and while we're on the subject, it's definitely our farewell tour. If somebody thinks that a couple of years up the road we'll have problems with our memory and do another 90 shows … this is definitely the end for Black Sabbath."

Osbourne, Iommi and bassist Geezer Butler wrapped the first dates of Black Sabbath's massive 2016 The End world tour earlier this month (March 7th) in Vancouver, BC to an overwhelming response, from fans and critics alike. The first leg of sold-out North American shows will be followed by a run of summer performances including return visits to Los Angeles (at the iconic Hollywood Bowl), New York, Chicago and 14 additional cities. Tickets for the summer shows are available at Livenation.com.
See Black Sabbath's world wide itinerary below. These dates mark the end of the epic journey that Black Sabbath began nearly five decades ago. The massive 2016 The End world tour by the greatest metal band of all time will take the band to Australia and New Zealand in April, then Europe fora mix of summer headlining and festival performances, before returning to North America in August.
As previously announced, a special fans-only CD featuring original artwork by Shepard Fairey/Obey Giant is being sold at shows along the tour route. The CD is comprised of eight previously unreleased tracks: four songs are outtakes from Black Sabbath's worldwide #1, Grammy Award-winning album 13 and four live songs from the band's critically acclaimed 13 World Tour.
When this tour concludes, it will truly be The End, The End of one of most legendary bands in rock 'n roll history... Black Sabbath.
