| Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and Grammy®-winning singer and songwriter Ozzy Osbourne has been forced to postpone the entire UK and European leg of his No More Tours 2 tour on doctors’ orders. |
| This follows yesterday’s (January 28th) announcement that Osbourne waspostponing the first four dates of the tour because of the flu. After seeing his physician again, he has been diagnosed with a severe upper-respiratory infection which the doctor feels could develop into pneumonia given the physicality of the live performances and an extensive travel schedule throughout Europe in harsh winter conditions. |
Ozzy says, “I’m completely devastated for having to postpone the European leg of my tour. It just seems that since October everything I touch has turned to s–t. First the staph infection in my thumb and now coming down with the flu and bronchitis. I want to apologize to all of my fans who have been so loyal over the years, my band, my crew and to Judas Priest for letting you all down. However, I promise the tour with Judas Priest will be completed. It’s being rescheduled right now to start in September. Again, I apologize to everyone. God Bless. Love you all, Ozzy.”

I wish Ozzy the best with his health. First the staph infection, then the burst blood vessel in his eye, and now this respiratory condition…maybe this is God’s way of telling Ozzy “No More Tours” means “No More Tours”!
Sharon probably up to this for payback regarding the hairdresser incident
Yo, Oz, take your own advice, SLOW DOWN!!!
this is why 70 year people should not be running around like they are 20 year olds,age does not care how rich you are,age is age,rock and roll is a young persons game,get well ozz,enjoy your golden years with your family while you still can,if sharon really gave a shit about her husband she would say nop more tours for real,but she will keep pushing this dude for every penny he can make.
Whats next ?
Sprained uterus ?
Sprained groined, I think. It’s time to let it go and do one off’s.
Ouch!
I feel for ya Oz, I had that flu/respiratory infection for nearly 3 weeks and it kicked my ass! Everybody I know has been sick at some point this winter, including Eddie Trunk. Take it easy and get well soon!
