With its final dates announced for early 2017, The End is truly nigh for Black Sabbath - and Ozzy Osbourne promises it's going to stay that way.

The group recently announced an eight-date UK swing for its The End farewell tour at the beginning of next year, wrapping up in Birmingham, England, where Black Sabbath formed in 1968. And the group's resolve to end for good has not wavered. "(Guitarist) Tony Iommi wants to do 80 shows. We're doing 80 shows. It's good enough," Osbourne tells Billboard writer Gary Graff. "I wouldn't mind extending the tour for another few gigs. There's a lot of people who won't get to see us, but I don't think it's going to happen."

Osbourne is starting to hash out his post-Sabbath life with his estranged wife but continuing manager Sharon Osbourne. "It's not me that wants to retire; it's Black Sabbath. I'll be continuing my own musical thing," he says. "My wife is good at telling me partial information, y'know, but I know I'm not hanging 'em up for awhile. Being Ozzy Osbourne solo again is not a job. It's a passion. It's a love. It's the biggest, greatest love affair of my life."
