The end has come for the stormy tours of Ozzy Osbourne, which will forever remain in the memory of “heavy” music.
The heavy metal star has announced that he is canceling his live shows, part of his European tour, and permanently halting touring because he is physically unable to move from city to city and country to country.
“My only goal was to get back on stage. My voice is fine, yet after three surgeries, stem cell treatments, endless physical therapy and the latest Cybernics treatment, my body continues to be physically weak,” the rock legend announced.
In his statement, he says that for the past four years he has damaged his spine, which prevents him from traveling.
In 2020, the rocker was diagnosed with Parkinson’s and had a very severe bout with COVID-19, which forced the postponement of his No More Tours farewell tour.
This was to be Ozzy’s last European tour, which started in the UK and was due to end in Finland in May.
“I never imagined it would end this way. This is probably one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to share with my fans,” the Black Sabbath frontman shared in an Instagram post.
“Honestly, I’m surprised that you continued to keep your tickets, even though there was the possibility that I wouldn’t be able to make the necessary trips. My team is currently looking for places where I can perform concerts without traveling from city to city,” he adds .
At the end of his statement, Ozzy thanked his family, team and longtime friends from Judas Priest for their loyalty and support.
“They gave me a life I never dreamed I could have,” the Prince of Darkness also shared.
