Ozzy Osbourne has announced plans to open a dog and horse rescue center following his retirement from music, which he has decided upon due to health issues, including Parkinson’s disease and complications from a past surgery. This revelation came ahead of his final performance on July 5 in Birmingham, where he will reunite with the original members of Black Sabbath for a charity concert.

In a recent interview, Osbourne shared that his wife, Sharon, inspired this new venture, suggesting they create a sanctuary for animals after noticing his struggles with mental health. Their home in Buckinghamshire, which boasts ample space, is well-suited for such an endeavor.

Reflecting on his music career, Osbourne expressed a sense of closure, acknowledging the toll that years of touring have taken on him. While he remains open to the future, he feels that now is the right time to step back from performing.
