Ozzy Osbourne Postpones European Tour Dates
Ozzy Osbourne, who’s been sidelined with copious health issues in 2019, has now released a video statement saying his 2020 European tour dates have been postponed.
Ozzy addressed fans in the video below where he said the following:
“I’m here to give you an update on my condition. As you probably know, or you may not know, at the beginning of this year, I had a bad fall. I screwed all the vertebrae in my neck and had to have surgery. I’ve got a lot more nuts and bolts in my neck now than in my car.
I’m not dying, I am recovering — it’s just taking a little bit longer than everyone thought it would. I’m bored stiff of being stuck on a f-cking bed all day. I can’t wait to get off my ass and get going again. But you’re just gonna have to be a little bit more patient. I’m postponing the European tour because I’m not ready. I’m not retiring — I’ve still got gigs to do — but when I do come back on an American tour, I wanna be one hundred percent ready to come out and knock your f-cking socks off. And also, there’s a new album on the way.
Thank you to my band and my crew and [promoter] Live Nation, and most of all, [support act] Judas Priest. I just wanna say one thing to the fans: I sincerely thank you for your patience and your loyalty. I love you. Now, will you f-ck off and let me get better.”
Ozzy’s 2020 European tour dates ran from January through March. His U.S. tour dates are currently slated to begin in May.
