Ozzy Osbourne reveals his retirement plans


Ozzy Osbourne has decided to start a dog rescue centre once he retires from music.
The Black Sabbath lead singer, 76, confessed the next move ahead of his 5th July show in Birmingham, which will mark his final-ever performance.
“I want to open a dog rescue centre and a horse rescue centre,” the rocker revealed in a recent interview with The Guardian.
The decision to retire in the first place comes as he suffers from Parkinson’s disease and a spinal injury, worsened by a botched surgery in 1993.
His last gig titled Back to the Beginning will see the original four members of Black Sabbath reband to raise money for Parkinson’s and children’s charities.
Ozzy, who is also affectionately referred to as the “Prince of Darkness,” also revealed that his wife of 42 years is the one who suggested it.
“Sharon could see I was in Doom Town, and she said to me ‘I’ve got an idea…I want to get some ponies, chickens, a million dogs.’”
The couple, who currently live in their seven-bed Buckinghamshire mansion built on a seven-acre plot with a pool and spa, seemingly have enough space and two cabins to materialise the plan.
The War Pigs singer also opened up about nearing retirement from music.
“I’d love to say ‘never say never’, but after the last six years or so it is time (to retire). I lived on the road for 50-odd years.”
