💛 BREAKING: Shania Twain Officially Announces the 2026 Tour “Stay With Us: Shania Twain Reunion Tour 2026” — Bringing New Life to Songs Written by Ozzy Osbourne but Never Performed Before His Death — An Emotional Tribute That Revives the Timeless Spirit of Black Sabbath in Memory of Ozzy

In a surprise that has left both country music and heavy metal fans stunned, Shania Twain has officially announced the 2026 “Stay With Us: Shania Twain Reunion Tour”, an unprecedented musical journey paying homage to the late Ozzy Osbourne. This isn’t just another Shania Twain tour—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime emotional revival, breathing new life into never-before-performed songs written by Ozzy himself, blending Shania’s unmistakable voice with the raw spirit of Black Sabbath.

The announcement came early Thursday morning during a livestream from London’s Royal Albert Hall, where Shania, dressed in a black leather jacket adorned with silver crosses, stood beside Geezer Butler, original Black Sabbath bassist. With tears in her eyes, Shania explained the story behind the project:

“Ozzy’s music was more than heavy metal—it was poetry, power, and pain all wrapped into one. I was given access to a collection of songs he wrote in his later years but never performed. When I first heard them, I cried. I knew instantly: these songs need to be heard. This tour is my love letter to Ozzy, and to every fan who ever found strength in his music.”

A Cross-Genre Collaboration That No One Saw Coming

Fans were left wondering—how could a country icon like Shania Twain step into the world of Black Sabbath? The answer lies in her history. In recent years, Shania had spoken about her love for classic rock, citing Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, and Sabbath as influences during her early songwriting days.

Geezer Butler confirmed,

“When Shania reached out, I was skeptical. But then she sang ‘Changes’ in rehearsal, and I knew she understood Ozzy’s heart. These songs are going to hit fans in a way they never expect.”

Shania has promised that each venue will feature visual tributes—archival footage of Ozzy’s performances, personal photos, and messages from fans worldwide—making the concerts both a celebration and a farewell.

A Charity at the Heart of the Tour

All profits from the tour will be donated to the Ozzy Osbourne Music Foundation, a newly established charity that provides music education and instruments to underprivileged youth. Shania emphasized,

“Ozzy’s life was proof that music can save you. This foundation will keep that spirit alive for generations.”

A Legacy Beyond Genre

While purists in both country and metal may have reservations, industry insiders believe this tour could bridge musical worlds in ways never seen before. Music journalist David Kerr noted,

“Shania Twain is stepping into sacred territory. If she pulls this off, it will be one of the most significant tribute tours in modern music history.”

The “Stay With Us” tour isn’t just about songs—it’s about connection, legacy, and the courage to cross musical boundaries for the sake of honoring a friend. In Shania’s own words,

“This isn’t about fame or record sales. It’s about keeping Ozzy’s spirit alive. Every night, when those lights go down and the music starts, I want people to feel him here with us—still wild, still loud, and still loved.”

Tickets for the tour go on sale October 15, 2025, with presale options available for fan club members starting October 10.

For fans of both Shania Twain and Ozzy Osbourne, 2026 is set to be a year where genres fade, legends unite, and music proves once again that it can keep even the wildest spirits alive.
