No More Tours II was the second farewell and final tour by English heavy metal singer Ozzy Osbourne,[1] the first being No More Tours Tour in 1992.
Background
[edit]The tour's South American and European legs were announced in November 2017.[2] In the press release, he stated that it would be his final world tour, but didn't rule out the possibility of one-off shows later on.[3] North American tour dates were announced in February 2018.[4]
On 29 January 2019, it was announced through Osbourne's website that the European leg of the tour was to be postponed until later in the year due to illness, and would resume in Australia in March, but this leg of the tour was cancelled. The European leg of the tour was rescheduled for September. Osbourne was due to start his 2020 North American Tour in May, but on 17 February 2020, Osbourne cancelled the tour as he was scheduled to go to Switzerland in April to undergo medical treatment which would last six to eight weeks.[5]
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Osbourne's health resulting in the cancellation of performances in 2019 and 2020, Osbourne would have resumed touring again in 2023,[6] following the postponement of the 2022 shows.[7] However, on 1 February 2023, it was announced that, due to Osbourne not sufficiently recovering from medical treatment, that he would retire from touring, cancelling the planned 2023 dates.[8]
