Jack, 38, said: "I don’t think he’ll tour again. But he’s gunning to do one-off shows like festivals, gigs, things like that.
"He’s not done yet!", he said to The Messenger. Ozzy has hit setbacks for the last few years in his bid to be up on stage for over an hour singing his iconic hits.
“I’ve had all the surgery now, thank god. I’m feeling okay – it was just dragging on. I thought I’d be back on my feet months ago, I just couldn’t get used to this mode of living, constantly having something wrong. I can’t walk properly yet, but I’m not in any pain any more and the surgery on my spine went great."
He feels music "is a key factor" keeping his spirits high.
The singer revealed that he was originally quitting LA in 2022 as "the tax is getting too much". He doubled down on how keeping his income is important.: "If they do the taxes better then I may come back.”
