Ozzy Osbourne, 74, will no longer be touring, he announced on Wednesday.
The rocker shared the news in a Twitter statement, explaining that he must cancel his upcoming shows and won’t be touring in the future due to major health issues.
He wrote, “This is probably one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to share with my loyal fans. You may know that four years ago, this month I was involved in a major accident. I broke my spine.
This was my only purpose. My singing voice sounds fine. My singing
voice is fine after three operations, multiple stem cell treatments, endless therapy, and most recently, Cybernics (HAL), Treatment. Believe me when I say that the thought of disappointing my fans really F–KS ME UP, more than you will ever know.”pic.twitter.com/aXGw3fjImo
He reflected, “Never would I have imagined my touring days would have ended that way,” adding, “My team is currently coming up with ideas for where I will be able to perform without having to travel…”February 1, 2023

He said, “It’s been very challenging for all of us. My last show was at The Forum on New Year’s Eve. Then, I had a terrible fall. My neck was badly injured and I had to have surgery. “
Osbourne added that “I had a numbness in my arm and my legs after the surgery. I don’t know whether it’s Parkinson’s, you know. But that’s — that’s what’s the problem. Because they cut nerves during the surgery. Nerve pain is something I had never heard of, and it is a strange feeling. “
Osbourne has also been dealing with a staph infection in the hand, COVID, as well as other health issues since the fall.
