Ozzy Osbourne Cancels 2019 Tour Due To Injury

From Mohegan Sun: Ozzy Osbourne will postpone all his 2019 tour dates, inclusive of shows in North America and Europe, as he recovers from an injury sustained while dealing with his recent bout of pneumonia. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and Grammy-winning singer and songwriter and 2019 Grammy “Special Merit Award” recipient fell at his Los Angeles home aggravating years-old injuries (from his 2003 ATV accident) that required surgery last month. Osbourne will remain under doctor’s care in Los Angeles as he recovers. Mohegan Sun Arena’s reschedule date will be Saturday, June 20, 2020.

Says Ozzy: “I can’t believe I have to reschedule more tour dates. Words cannot express how frustrated, angry and depressed I am not to be able to tour right now. I’m grateful for the love and support I’m getting from my family, my band, friends and fans, it’s really what’s keeping me going. Just know that I am getting better every day…I will fully recover…I will finish my tour…I will be back!”

The shows will be rescheduled beginning in February 2020 and concert-goers are being asked to hold onto their original tickets, as they will be honored for the rescheduled dates.

On his upcoming farewell world tour, Osbourne celebrates more than five decades as a performer (both as a solo artist and as lead singer of Black Sabbath which formed in 1968).

This will mark the first time Megadeth joins Osbourne for a full tour, although they have performed together previously at Ozzfest and other festivals around the world.
