Legendary vocalist Ozzy Osbourne, known for his work with Black Sabbath, has sadly made the difficult decision to cancel his forthcoming tour. Despite his love for performing on stage, the musician has been facing various health issues in recent years, including surgeries following a severe accident and a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease.
The cancellation means that Ozzy will be unable to perform at the highly anticipated Power Trip Festival, where rock fans were eagerly awaiting his electrifying performance alongside bands like Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, AC/DC, and Iron Maiden.
In a heartfelt Instagram message, Ozzy expressed his disappointment, stating, “As painful as this is, I’ve had to make the decision to bow out of performing on Power Trip in October. My body is telling me that I’m just not ready yet, and I am much too proud to have my first show in nearly five years be half-assed.”
Although he didn’t reveal the replacement band, Ozzy assured his fans that it would be a group of personal friends who would deliver an unforgettable show. He took the opportunity to express his gratitude to his loyal fans, his band, and his crew for their unwavering support throughout his career.
The news of the cancellation brought an outpouring of support and well-wishes from Ozzy’s devoted followers. Comments like “Everyone loves you, my guy. Take care of yourself” and “There’s no need to apologize, sir; you’ve offered years of amusement. Take care of yourself” flooded the comments section, showcasing the immense love and respect fans have for the rock icon.
Ozzy has always been determined to get back on stage, despite the setbacks. In the past, he said, “I am determined to get back on stage, even if I have to be nailed to a board and wheeled on. Survival is my legacy.” Despite the toll his health issues have taken, he remains committed to his fans, describing his relationship with them as “the biggest love affair” of his life.
While fans will have to wait a little longer for Ozzy’s return to the stage, they can take comfort in knowing that his health and well-being are his top priorities. The rock legend promises to be back soon, fully prepared to give his all to his devoted fans once again.
