Rock legend Ozzy Osbourne has to cancel his tour for health reasons – he announced this on social media.
Physical ailments are forcing British rock star Ozzy Osbourne (74) to cancel his long-planned and often postponed tour of Great Britain and Europe – a concert on May 21, 2023 in Zurich’s Hallenstadion is also affected. “This is probably one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to say to my loyal fans,” wrote the “Prince of Darkness” on his social channels on Wednesday.
“As you may all know, four years ago this month, I had a serious accident that injured my spine.” Since then, his only goal has been to get back on stage. But while everything is fine with his singing voice, he is still not doing well physically.

In his lengthy statement, the Briton also hinted that he might not be able to go on tour at all, at least not if he had to travel to many different cities: “I never thought my days on tour would end like this. My team is currently working on ideas for how I could perform without having to travel from city to city and from country to country.»
Concerts already postponed because of Corona
The fact that he has to disappoint his fans is killing him, he wrote. The planned concert dates have already been postponed several times in the past due to Corona.
The musician took to social media to thank his family, his band, his crew, his “longtime friends” from heavy metal band Judas Priest, with whom he wanted to tour, and his fans. According to Osbourne, the price of the tickets will be reimbursed by the respective point of sale. (SDA/las)
