Ozzy Osbourne is a musical icon! His musical career began in 1967 when he and his friend Geezer Butler formed their first band, Rare Breed, in which Ozzy was the vocalist. The band played two shows and broke up before Geezer and Ozzy reunited to form Polka Tulk Blues with Tony Iommi and Bill Ward after their band, Mythology, broke up.
Ozzy went on to be the front man for his band ‘Black Sabbath’. In addition to creating multiple major hit songs with Black Sabbath, he also had many hits solo.
A few years ago, Ozzy was in a major accident. The accident, combined with his increasing age – caused him to slow down. And today, he made the decision to stop touring.
Ozzy was scheduled to play 19 concerts across 10 countries in 2023-2024.
“This is probably one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to share with my loyal fans. As you may all know, four years ago, this month, I had a major accident, where I damaged my spine.
My one and only purpose during this time has been to get back on stage. My singing voice is fine. However, after three operations, stem cell treatments, endless physical therapy sessions, and most recently groundbreaking Cybernics (HAL) Treatment, my body is still physically weak.
I am honestly humbled by the way you’ve all patiently held onto your tickets for all this time, but in all good conscience, I have now come to the realization that I’m not physically capable of doing my upcoming European/UK tour dates, as I know I couldn’t deal with the travel required. Believe me when I say that the thought of disappointing my fans really FUCKS ME UP, more than you will ever know.
Never would I have imagined that my touring days would have ended this way. My team is currently coming up with ideas for where I will be able to perform without having to travel from city to city and country to country.
I want to thank my family……my band…….my crew……my longtime friends, Judas Priest, and of course, my fans for their endless dedication, loyalty, and support, and for giving me the life that I never ever dreamed I would have.
I love you all…
