Heavy metal icon Ozzy Osbourne has announced the final dates for his farewell tour.

The legendary vocalist will embark on a series of shows across North America, commencing on April 30th in Houston and concluding on July 3rd in Los Angeles.

Supporting acts include Judas Priest and Uriah Heep.

Tickets are already selling out quickly due to high demand.

The farewell tour will feature a mix of solo material and classic Ozzy-era Black Sabbath tracks.

Fans can expect an energetic live performance that showcases Osbourne's enduring stage presence.

While specific setlists have not been released, sources close to the artist indicate that the shows will be a celebration of Ozzy's remarkable career rather than a straightforward farewell.

The tour is expected to conclude with a bang, literally and figuratively.

The North American dates follow a string of performances in Europe earlier this year.

While there have been no official statements regarding further live activities after these final dates, it remains to be seen if Osbourne will continue touring under his own name or perhaps join forces with other established bands for future shows."
