Ozzy Osbourne forced out of convention appearance over health concerns
Ozzy Osbourne has pulled out of an appearance at the Mad Monster Party film convention on doctors’ orders.The Black Sabbath frontman was set to appear at the Arizona convention next month alongside wife Sharon and daughter Kelly, but Sharon has since told fans he is currently unable to travel and won’t be attending.In a video statement, she said: “Regretfully, the Osbourne family have to cancel our upcoming appearance at the Mad Monster Party in Phoenix because Ozzy is unable to travel at this time.”She added that their son Jack would be there, “flying the flag for the Osbournes” in their absence. Referencing the “Osbournes: The Ultimate Sin Package” packages fans had paid $666 for, she said: “Everybody who bought the Osbourne package will, of course, get full refunds.”These kinds of posts are no fun but I hope the fans will understand.
