Ozzy Osbourne Can No Longer Tour Following Spinal Injury (Billboard)

Ozzy Osbourne is calling time on touring due to crippling injuries which, despite several surgeries, have rendered the rocker “physically weak.”.

The heavy metal icon was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006 as a member of Black Sabbath and into the U.K. His injury dates back to 2019, when the singer, who is also battling Parkinson’s disease, had surgery to repair an older injury he sustained during a 2003 ATV accident. With his concession, Ozzy calls time on his No More Tours 2 final tour of the U.K. He continues: “Never would I have imagined that my touring days would have ended this way. “This is probably one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to share with my loyal fans,” he writes on social media. After three operations, stem cell surgeries, cutting-edge procedures and grueling therapy sessions, Ozzy admits he’s “not physically capable” of completing his upcoming European/U.K.

El cantante, que tenía previsto actuar en España en mayo, comunica que “no está preparado físicamente para viajar”

Desde los ochenta estuvo siempre acompañado por la afilada empresaria Sharon Osbourne, su mujer, su manager y su salvadora: ella fue la que le rescató de una drogodependencia y de un alcoholismo que le llevaron a su médico a decirle: “Lo raro es que esté usted vivo”. Aunque debo reconocer que si lo hice fue, en parte, para que me tratasen con Demerol, que me parecía la mejor droga que existe”.

Y en lugar de tomarse la vida con tranquilidad, Ozzy Osbourne ha visitado desde entonces el hospital con frecuencia: una caída en un quad en la que se fracturó la clavícula, siete costillas rotas, una neumonía, otro accidente donde se dañó la columna vertebral...

Ozzy Osbourne was the wild man of metal on stage – but ... (The Guardian)

The Black Sabbath legend's announcement at 74 that he will never tour again marks an end to the rabble-rousing live career of a singular rock star.

It could seem like watching a body-swap comedy, in which a builder from Birmingham had been transplanted into the body of a rock star right as a show began and was trying to put on a rock star pose. He often sang while clinging to the mic stand, like a sailor lashed to a mast in a storm, as if the force of the band behind him might wash him away. When your past includes biting the heads off live doves and urinating on the Alamo, you are unlikely ever to live it down, or to settle into a quiet life tending to your begonias. Ozzy claps to the beat. His career was a triumph of defiance and resilience, overcoming huge vulnerability – even though others suffered along the way. That’s not to excuse so much of his monstrous behaviour – including the As Barney Hoskyns put it in Creem in 1982: “Though Ozzy never professed to being a ‘messiah of slum people’, neither was he a megalomaniac frontman. It didn’t matter: they were words for Osbourne to inhabit, whether he was recounting [Black Sabbath](https://www.theguardian.com/music/blacksabbath) emerged at the end of the 1960s. His voice had none of the rich, bluesy tone that dominated in British rock singing when Certainly, though, in both the 2011 documentary God Bless Ozzy Osbourne and The Osbournes, the TV series that turned him from moral threat to cuddly hero, you could always see the frailty only just below the surface. The irrepressible 74-year-old former Black Sabbath frontman has dealt with decades of drug and alcohol addiction; coped with Parkin syndrome, a form of Parkinson’s; and the

Ozzy Osbourne says he's done with touring for good (The A.V. Club)

The 74-year-old artist has cancelled all his upcoming shows because, he says, he "is not physically capable" of continuing to tour.

Despite the disappointing news, Osbourne focused most of his message on gratitude towards his friends, family, and band, even shouting out his “longtime friends” Judas Priest. Most of his physical difficulty, Osbourne explains, stems from a major accident he suffered four years ago, wherein he seriously damaged his spine. “Believe me when I say that the thought of disappointing my fans really FUCKS ME UP, more than you will ever know.”

Ozzy Osbourne Announces He's Retiring From Touring (Forbes)

Ozzy Osbourne's current health struggles have ultimately lead him to cancel his upcoming U.K. tour and retire from touring entirely.

However, it should be noted that Osbourne returning to the stage is not completely out of the question as he’s said in his statement. Despite many fans in the past criticizing Osbourne for his ventures into mainstream television and advertisement, often these critics have missed the point that Osbourne has single handedly exposed millions of people to heavy metal music by way of participating in pop-culture. With his health and family being the main focal point in his life right now, touring doesn’t sound the least bit practical for him if he’s to retain his health, singing voice and general well being. That being said, it’s not much of a surprise to see Ozzy Osbourne retire at this stage in his career. This news most certainly comes as a sad day for the rock and metal communities, as Ozzy Osbourne has been regarded as one of the scenes most iconic artists, and he’s been widely credited for helping bring extreme bands and genres to the mainstream’s attention.
