This week brought the very sad news that the Prince of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne has cancelled all his upcoming shows and announced his retirement from touring.
The former Black Sabbath frontman revealed in a statement on social media that his body is still weak following his 2019 fall and he is "not physically capable" of going on tour.
"As you may all know, four years ago, this month, I had a major accident, where I damaged my spine," he began. "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 ground-breaking 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 F**KS ME UP, more than you will ever know."
