The former Black Sabbath frontman has announced shows in the U.K. and Ireland as part of his final world tour.

AceShowbiz - Ozzy Osbourne will play shows in the U.K. and Ireland as part of his final world tour.

The former Black Sabbath frontman will celebrate five decades in the music industry by kicking off the European leg of his "No More Tours II" trek with a show in Dublin, Ireland on January 30, 2019.

He will then head to the U.K. for six shows starting at Nottingham's Motorpoint Arena on February 1 and calling at Manchester, Newcastle, Glasgow and his home city of Birmingham, before concluding with a show at London's O2 Arena on February 11, where he'll be joined by special guests Judas Priest.

Further global tour dates are expected to be added into 2020, before the 69-year-old rocker steps down from music entirely.

"I've been extremely blessed to have had two successful music careers," Ozzy shared in a statement to NME, referencing his firing from Black Sabbath in 1979 which led to a subsequent solo career. "I'm looking at this final tour as being a huge celebration for my fans and anyone who has enjoyed my music over the past five decades."

The heavy metal icon confirmed the tour will be his last full global jaunt, though he will perform select live shows in the future.

It marks Ozzy's second farewell trek following his 1992 tour of the same name, which was initially billed as his last after he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis - though he later found out that he didn't have the disease and decided to press on.

Ozzy, real name John Michael Osbourne, is set to take to the stage with his long-term collaborators including guitarist Zakk Wylde, bassist Rob "Blasko" Nicholson, drummer Tommy Clufetos and keyboardist Adam Wakeman.

Tickets will go on general sale on Friday, September 07.
