The Ultimate Sin Tour was a concert tour by English heavy metal singer Ozzy Osbourne in 1986, supporting his album The Ultimate Sin.
Background On 1 April 1986, a live performance promoting the album in Kansas City, Missouri, was filmed and released later that year as the home video The Ultimate Ozzy. In 1987, after the various tours in support of the album had concluded, guitarist Lee was unexpectedly fired by Osbourne's wife and manager Sharon. The specific justification for Lee's dismissal remains unknown. Bassist Soussan also departed, with Bob Daisley once again entering the fold.
Ratt, Metallica, Queensrÿche and Chrome Molly were opening acts for the tour.
In contrast to Osbourne's previous tour where he only played three songs from Bark at the Moon, the tour for The Ultimate Sin typically saw six new songs in the set.
Set list "O Fortuna" (Carl Orff song) "Bark at the Moon" "Suicide Solution" "Never Know Why" "Mr. Crowley" "Shot in the Dark" "I Don't Know" "Killer of Giants" "Thank God for the Bomb" "The Ultimate Sin" "Flying High Again" "Secret Loser" "Iron Man" (Black Sabbath cover) "Crazy Train" Encore "Paranoid" (Black Sabbath cover)
