Fans were left heartbroken after Ozzy Osbourne quits tour due to the spinal injury he suffered in 2019. The legendary rocker broke the news via a statement on his Instagram page.
Throughout his career spanning several decades, Ozzy Osbourne has been hit by a series of injuries that have threatened to end his career, but he always came back stronger to the delight of his fans.
However, in 2003, the Black Sabbath crooner suffered injuries during a quad biking accident that was later aggravated in 2019 when he fell in his home. The 74-year-old required 15 screws to be fitted into his spine to help him maintain some body functions.
At the time, Ozzy Osbourne’s spinal injury and subsequent surgery forced him to reschedule all his 2019 live dates for his “No More Tours 2 Tour.” The rock star later revealed that the surgery left him with permanent nerve damage, and in 2020, he stunned fans when he revealed his diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease.
Since then, fans have not enjoyed the best of the veteran musician. Fans were anticipating his upcoming UK and European tour dates but have now been left disappointed by the latest development.
Ozzy Osbourne Quits Tour Because of Spinal Injury
Ozzy Osbourne’s spinal injury has finally forced the rock star to bring an end to his touring days. The legendary singer revealed this much in a heartbreaking statement that was released on his official Instagram account on Wednesday.
Osbourne was scheduled to hit parts of the UK and Europe during the tour, but he has now been forced to cancel all his upcoming shows for health reasons. The statement shared by Osbourne read in part:
“This is probably one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to share with my loyal fans. As you may all know, four years ago, this month, I had a major accident, where I damaged my spine.”
Osbourne went on to reveal that his singing voice was fine but the series of surgeries he has undergone has left his body in pretty bad shape. He claimed he had finally come to the “realization” that it would be physically impossible for him to complete the upcoming tour due to the traveling involved.
