The word retirement is ambiguous at best in today's world. It used to indicate playing golf, pursuing other hobbies, or full-time with family- not changing careers or continuing with one.
When celebrities use the word, it may be taken a thousand different ways. I think of it as a celeb's way of bringing attention to their brand. When that happens, users google the celeb, click on websites about them, or spend money on products associated with the name. Simply marketing themselves, yet again!

Voice is Ozzy’s voice as always more or less .. in effect one may say that it didn’t change a lot since he never was a Freddie Mercury (luckily I’d say).
However time passes for all people; reaching his age and continuing to do music so far .. my compliments !

I saw him on the Blizzard of OZ tour at a Day on the Green with RR on guitar, it was a great performance and he physically worked that stage so hard that I never saw the likes of which again, until seeing Stevie Ray Vaughan, both those guys made me feel like they worked extra hard for their money, beyond what they had to do to get by.
First thing I thought of...I remember The Whos Last Tour -- huge announcement plugged on radios - a huge success too.....then, a few years later, "The Whos Last Tour - We Mean It This Time" then, a few years after that, "The Whos Last Tour - Those Others Were Just Trial Runs" etc etc
I saw Ozzy on the 13 Tour with Sabbath......its the only time Ive ever heard someone sing flat and once out of key(on Paranoid) and still be Awesome! truth!...however, I also thought he shouldve retired then

Ozzy is a force of nature, and kids through the generations have loved him. I don’t think he can be evaluated against any other singer, he is totally his own thing, as each member of the original Sabbath lineup was.
LOL, the same guy that's been standing behind the curtain for the last decade will do fine.
"So tonight's the last show of the tour. How's that feel? You know, is like this your last waltz, are we talkin' the end of Spinal Tap, or are you gonna try to milk it for a few more years in Europe."
Saw him in okc with the sabbs in 16. One of my favorite concerts. It wasnt crazy good like a Priest or Maiden show, but Sabbath is my favorite band ever and I feel blessed to have seen them.
I had tickets a few years back to see him again. When he cancelled that tour due to the accident I kind of felt like that was going to be it for touring. God bless you ozzman for all the great music. You deserved retirement along time ago.
As far as making new music, no just no!
I saw Patient #9 in a record store just yesterday & I will continue to pass on purchasing it.
We still have his huge catalog of music to enjoy & he can probably do some one off performances here & there.
Sharon's team must be managing the name Black Sabbath now, their website & FB groups are all about Ozzy with nothing in their online discography about Dio, Gillan, Hughes, or Martin.
Valor Kand did a similar thing to the creator of Death Rock.
