Ozzy Osbourne continues to prove that You Can’t Kill Rock and Roll.
Due to popular demand and much success on his summer 2018 run, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer has announced additional North American dates for his extensive farewell tour, No More Tours 2.
Osbourne will be joined by an all-star cast of musicians: Zakk Wylde, Tommy Clufetos, Rob (Blasko) Nicholson and Adam Wakeman. The guys’ history together will make for an unforgettable sound experience.
Thrash metal giants Megadeth will round out the shows as a special opening act.

The Paranoid singer was forced to cancel the remainder of his 2018 tour following an infection in some of his fingers.
His doctors advised immediate surgery. He shared updates with his fans on Instagram and expressed his disappointment in missing the American shows.
“I’m so f**king bummed about cancelling these shows. The tour had been going great and we were really looking forward to these last few gigs,” he said. “We’re hoping everyone will be patient and we’ll look forward to seeing them at the shows next year.”
Refunds were offered for those who had purchased tickets.
