Ozzy Osbourne Postpones European Leg of His Tour

Ozzy Osbourne is taking some time off from his No More Tours 2 Tour to rest.

The 70-year-old rocker announced on Tuesday (January 29) that he is postponing the U.K. and European leg of his tour after his doctor diagnosed him with an upper-respiratory infection that could develop into pneumonia if he were to travel and perform onstage.

“I’m completely devastated for having to postpone the European leg of my tour,” Ozzy said in a statement. “It just seems that since October, everything I touch has turned to shit. First, the staph infection in my thumb and now coming down with the flu and bronchitis. I want to apologize to all of my fans who have been so loyal over the years, my band, my crew and to [European tour-leg openers] Judas Priest for letting you all down. However, I promise the tour with Judas Priest will be completed. It’s being rescheduled right now to start in September. Again, I apologize to everyone. God Bless. Love you all, Ozzy.”

Late last year, Ozzy had to postpone a number of dates after contracting a staph infection. Those tour dates have been rescheduled for the summer.

Ozzy should be announcing the rescheduled dates for the European tour at a later date.
