John Michael "Ozzy" Osbourne (born 3 December 1948) is an English singer, songwriter, actor and television personality. He rose to prominence during the 1970s as the lead vocalist of the heavy metal band Black Sabbath, during which he adopted the nickname "The Prince of Darkness".
Osbourne was fired from the band in 1979 due to alcohol and drug problems, but he went on to have a successful solo career, releasing eleven studio albums, the first seven of which were all awarded multi-platinum certifications in the United States. Osbourne has since reunited with Black Sabbath on several occasions.
In February 2020, Ozzy Osbourne called off the North American leg of his “No More Tours 2” amid a series of health problems including a Parkinson’s Disease diagnosis.
At the time, he also said that the degenerative condition was the least of his issues, citing “unbelievable pain” stemming from a prior injury.
In an Instagram post late Tuesday, the Black Sabbath legend and former star of TV’s The Osbournes, wrote that he has “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.” Later in the social media post, Osbourne hinted that he may be done with touring altogether. “Never would I have imagined that my touring days would have ended this way,” he wrote.
However, he added, “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.” Ticket refunds are available at point of purchase.
