“I’m English. I want to be back. But saying that, if my wife said we’ve got to go and live in Timbuktu, I’ll go…. But, no, it’s just time for me to come home,” Osbourne told The Guardian.
Ozzy’s wife Sharon insists that the couple are not returning due to his poor health.
Ozzy Osbourne has been suffering from Parkinson’s disease since January 2020 and had surgery in June to remove two metal plates from his back.

Ozzy added: “I’m saying to you I’ll give it the best shot I can for another tour.
“You have not seen the end of Ozzy Osbourne, I promise you. If I have to go up there and die on the first song, I’ll still be back the next day.”
