Ozzy Osbourne has told Boston Herald in a new interview that he is hoping to return to the studio after he completes his “No More Tours 2” farewell tour to record some new music. “I have a bunch of songs written and have plenty of ideas and really want to do a new album, but as to when and how it will come together, I do not really know,” he said.

Earlier in the year, Ozzy told Rolling Stone that he doesn’t normally work on music while on tour. “When I’m on the road, when I take a day off, I should try to rest my voice, so it’s not a good idea to go and start singing and writing songs,” he said. “But I’ve done that in the past.”

Osbourne hasn’t issued a solo album since 2010’s “Scream” and has spent the last few years touring with BLACK SABBATH before the legendary heavy metal act retired from the road.

“No More Tours 2” is a reference to Ozzy‘s 1992 “No More Tours” trek, which marked the first time the singer announced the end of his days as a touring artist. The tour name was a pun based on the title of his then-most recent solo album, “No More Tears”. Ozzy returned to action three years later and has been on the road ever since. MORE
