Ozzy Osbourne Cancels All 2019 Performances

An injury sustained at home has forced The Prince of Darkness to push all of his tour dates to 2020.

Ozzy Osbourne Cancels All 2019 Performances

Following an injury sustained while recovering from a recent bout of pneumonia, Ozzy Osbourne, has decided to postpone all of his 2019 tour dates, inclusive of shows in North American and Europe.

The Grammy-winning former Black Sabbath frontman fell at his Los Angeles home, aggravating previous injuries from a 2003 ATV accident that required surgery last month. He will recover under doctor's care until he can hit the road again; in the meantime, he has voiced his supreme disappointment in the situation.

"I can't believe I have to reschedule more tour dates," Ozzy says. "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 for dates in 2020, and concert-goers are being asked to hold onto their original tickets, as they will be honored for the rescheduled dates. Because some of the 2019 dates were festival appearances, not all will be rescheduled. Below are the new North American dates, with the exception of the Los Angeles Hollywood Bowl show, which will be rescheduled for a to-be-determined date in July 2020. The 2020 UK and European dates will be announced in the coming weeks.
