Ozzy Osbourne To Play Tinley Park In Last World Tour
The Prince of Darkness already had his last world tour called "No More Tours." Now, he's doing his second last world tour!

TINLEY PARK, IL — Tinley Park's Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre will be one of many stops on Ozzy Osbourne's "No More Tours 2" world tour. The Prince of Darkness will play here on Friday, Sept. 21, in what will be his last world tour, he said.
“I have to say this, ‘I’m not retiring!’ I’m just not doing world tours anymore," Ozzy said in a press release. "I’m still going to do shows, just no more world tours. They’ll say, ‘You said you were going to retire on the ‘No More Tours’ tour 25 years ago,’ but I’m not retiring!”
Stone Sour will be opening for Ozzy, playing songs from their new album "Hydrograd." The tour started Aug. 30 in Pennsylvania.

They made their way through the northeast, plus a Toronto show. After a quick trip south to Virginia, they'll play throughout the midwest, down to Texas, then out west.

In talking about the tour so far, band members have been in high spirits, and keep describing the tour, and each other, as "great."
"The band is great and I’m singing better than ever. It’s great to be back with Zakk," Ozzy said in the statement. "Tommy, the drummer, is great. Blasko is always great. There’s no excess trouble. No drama…there are no arguments. We just get up, do our gig, and have fun. Nobody gets loaded anymore."
He can't really do that like he used to. He's been performing for over 50 years.
Tommy Clufetos, a session drummer who's played for Black Sabbath and lots of other huge metal acts, is from Michigan. “We’re killing it. We’re out there rocking. Everybody’s getting along. Zakk is an amazing guitar player. Blasko is great and Adam is great. We’re all buds, and we’re all there for the same purpose – to give it our all every night,” he said in an interview, according to the Chicago Tribune.
“You guys will witness that in Chicago. We’re looking forward to it. We’re playing in Tinley Park. That’s always fun. We always have great shows. For me, it’s always nice coming back. The Midwest is my home,” he told the Tribune.
We'll just keep waiting for Osbourne's "No More Tours 3" world tour, possibly in another 25 years. If that's the case, we hope he comes back to Tinley Park again.
