Black Sabbath star Ozzy Osbourne will kickstart last tour of his life this spring but will continue performing gigs around the world, he confirmed on Tuesday.&nbsp;

In a statement, Ozzy Osbourne exclaimed:&nbsp;&quot;Will it really have been 40 years that I&#39;ve been solo? Yeah, I guess that&#39;s right. It&#39;s gone so quickly.&quot;

Speaking about his upcoming tour called &quot;No More Tours 2&quot; which is a throwback to his ill-fated retirement bid called &quot;No More Tours&quot; in the nineties, Ozzy said that he will kick off the latest and possibly his last tour this spring with dates in&nbsp;Mexico, South America and Europe.

As reported by a leading magazine, Ozzy said,&nbsp;&quot;I&#39;m not retiring. It&#39;s &#39;No More Tours,&#39; so I&#39;m just not doing world tours anymore. I&#39;m still going to be doing gigs, but I&#39;m not going on tour for six months at a time anymore. I&#39;d like to spend some time at home.&quot;

He explained the reason for not doing any more tours as a &quot;balancing&quot;&nbsp;act in life. He said,&nbsp;&quot;I&#39;ve experienced fantastic things; it&#39;s been an incredible journey. I just need to slow it down a little. I enjoy being a grandfather. I don&#39;t want to go through another generation of Osbournes without seeing them grow up (referring to how he missed seeing his own children growing up).&quot;

But that doesn&#39;t mean that he will let loose of his own passion for music and added: &quot;If you know an Ozzy Osbourne concert, you know I don&#39;t stand there with my thumb up my butt.&nbsp;I&#39;m rock &amp; roll. The more fun that [the fans] have, the more fun I have. Believe it or not, Zakk is the guitar player I&#39;ve played with the longest since Sabbath. I don&#39;t know what it is about him that works so well, but I&#39;m very glad it does.&quot;

Speaking about songs, he said, &quot;I haven&#39;t really sat down and written it down, but of course I have to do &#39;Paranoid&#39; and &#39;Crazy Train&#39;. I want to do &#39;Mama, I&#39;m Coming Home&#39; and &#39;No More Tears.&#39; I have a lot of songs to choose from. I was thinking about doing [Bark at the Moon&#39;s] &#39;Waiting for Darkness.&#39; That&#39;s quite a good song to do. I&#39;ve never done that onstage.&quot;

&quot;No More Tours 2&quot; is slated to kickstart on April 27 this year.&nbsp;
