The SiriusXM blog has uploaded a new interview with Ozzy Osbourne as host Jose Mangin talked to the Black Sabbath frontman about the band’s final US shows as well as solo album plans.

On playing Black Sabbath’s final three US shows starting November 8th and culminating November 10th in Houston: “People are saying to me, ‘Will you be emotional?’ I don’t know, I suppose,” Osbourne said. “Going around the world five billion times and ending where you started, it’s kind of [emotional].”

On solo plans: “I’m not retiring, I’m gonna carry on. I’ve been writing with Billy Morrison and Steve Stevens,” he said. “He’s not gonna be in my band, he’s with Billy Idol. But he’s a friend of [Morrison’s] and I said, ‘I’ve got some ideas,’ and we worked it out.”

The End is upon us.Late last year, Black Sabbath - Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler - announced their farewell world tour, The End. And now, almost a year later, the band will perform the final US shows in their historic five decade long career.

The three final shows on the Live Nation-produced tour - November 8th at BOK Center in Tulsa, OK, November 10th at Toyota Center in Houston, TX and November 12th at AT&T Center in San Antonio, TX - wrap up nearly a year of headlining performances and the band's special one-off gig at this year's Ozzfest (Saturday, September 24th at the Ozzfest Meets Knotfest double-header music and lifestyle weekend).

Following the US shows, the greatest metal band of all time will head to Mexico and then South America where they'll wrap up their 2016 dates before performing the last shows of their career, back where it all started in England. The last leg of The End tour will start with a January 17th show in Cologne, Germany before the band returns to the UK. Those shows launch January 20th, 2017 at the 3 Arena in Dublin before hitting arenas in Manchester, Glasgow, Leeds and London (with two nights at The O2), culminating with two performances in their Birmingham hometown at the Genting Arena.

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.
