It’s tough news for fans, but let's face it — sometimes life throws curveballs even at rock legends. On February 17, a spokesperson for Ozzy Osbourne announced that the rock icon has canceled the North American leg of his "No More Tours 2" concert tour. The reason? To give Ozzy the time he needs to recover from ongoing health challenges that have plagued him over the past year. This isn't just another tour cancellation; this is about prioritizing health and ensuring Ozzy can return stronger than ever.
According to Variety, the decision to cancel the remainder of the 71-year-old rocker’s tour was made with fans in mind. After already rescheduling dates once, the team decided it was best to cancel rather than leave fans hanging last minute. Ozzy isn’t done yet, though. He plans to wrap up commitments for his new album, Ordinary Man, before heading to Europe for medical treatment. It’s clear that while Ozzy may be taking a break from the stage, he’s not slowing down when it comes to his music and recovery.
Ozzy’s Health Timeline: A Tough Year
Ozzy, the frontman of Black Sabbath and star of The Osbournes, had this to say in a statement: “I’m so grateful for everyone’s patience, but let me tell you, this year has been brutal. Between a fall, pneumonia, surgery for an infection in my hand, and complications from the flu, it’s been one thing after another. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to get to Switzerland for treatment until April, and the treatment itself will take six to eight weeks.”

“Starting a tour now and canceling shows last minute just wouldn’t be fair to the fans,” he continued. “Instead, I’d rather they get refunds now. When I do tour North America in the future, everyone who bought tickets for these shows will be first in line to purchase tickets again. You deserve that much, and I promise I’ll make it right.”
A Year of Rescheduling and Heartbreak
This announcement comes almost a year after Ozzy first postponed all of his 2019 tour dates. Back in April, he expressed his frustration in a statement: “I can’t believe I have to reschedule more tour dates. There aren’t enough words to describe how frustrated, angry, and depressed I am about not being able to tour right now.”
Adding to the challenges, Ozzy revealed earlier this year that he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Sharing this deeply personal news with the world during an appearance on Good Morning America, Ozzy opened up about the diagnosis alongside his supportive wife, Sharon Osbourne.
