Ozzy Osbourne will no longer perform on stages around the world.
The famous artist has announced his retirement from touring and canceling all future concerts to focus on his recovery from spinal surgery. The rocker’s health has been in decline since he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease two decades ago amid other health problems. Osbourne’s last tour took place in December 2018, when he wowed his fans at “Ozzfest” in Inglewood as part of his “No More Tours II”.
Ozzy Osbourne Pulls Out Of Tour Amid Battle With Health Issues
After rescheduling his European tour, originally set for 2019, three times, Osbourne has given up on pleasing his fans with live performances. The 74-year-old has officially pulled out of the event, and any future dates via a statement he shared with his 5.2 million followers.
In a lengthy post, the Black Sabbath band member apologized for “disappointing” his fans, admitting that he never “imagined” that his “tour days would end this way.”

Referring to the spinal surgery he underwent nearly a year ago to save him from paralysis, Osbourne explained, “This is probably one of the hardest things I’ve ever shared with my loyal fans. As you all know, four years ago, this month, I had a big accident, where I damaged my spine.” He later wrote:
“My only goal all this time is to return to the stage. My singing voice is good. However, after three surgeries, stem cell treatments, endless physical therapy sessions, and most recently the groundbreaking Cybernics Treatment (HAL), my body is still physically weak.”
The “Crazy Train” artist stated that while his fans were “honestly demeaning” him, he has “now realized” that he is physically unable to do the “upcoming European/UK tour dates, as I know I can’t deal with necessary journey.”
The post, which he ended by appreciating his family, band, friends and fans, immediately received an influx of positive energy from his followers. “My grandfather said, ‘don’t burn the candle at both ends.’ This is a healthy decision for you, your family, and us, your fans,” one person wrote in a comment.
A second fan declared undying love for the “Close My Eyes Forever” rocker, and another told him to “Sit at home and be our Master of the British Realm forever!” The fourth man exclaimed:
“It’s okay, Ozzy! You have given us all more than you know. Thank you. much love,” while a fifth sent, “Endless love and respect to the Prince of the Dark King.”
Meanwhile, another Instagram user admitted to being saddened by the news, especially after September’s pledge to go on tour. According to a report by The Blast, Osbourne has shown dedication to returning to the stage because it’s “where I belong.”

The “Shot in the Dark” hitmaker also described his bond with his fans as “the biggest love affair [his] life.” Osbourne has been thrilling his global fans since 1970 when Black Sabbath released their first heavy metal album, “Paranoid.” The project produced hits such as “War Pigs,” which caught the attention of its listeners.
‘Dreamer’ Batsman Looks Weak During Run Market
Last month, The Blast reported that the television personality was seen grocery shopping for himself and his wife, Sharon, at the famous Erewhon Market, close to his home. Although the task didn’t seem heavy, Ozzy looked frail as he walked to the market, relying on a cane and a female assistant as he moved around the store.
For the trip, the “Children of the Grave” singer wore a black tracksuit top with matching trainers and a long tartan coat. Ozzy was burdened with the market run after Sharon’s emergency visit to a California hospital.
The British-American star had suffered an undisclosed medical emergency while filming at the Glen Tavern Inn, Santa Paula. An insider later claimed that the incident was “not life-threatening,” while Sharon’s son Jack confirmed that his mother had been released from the hospital and was doing well.
Although the 70-year-old eventually told his social media followers that he was back home and “doing well,” he neglected to share what landed him in the hospital in the first place.
