Ozzy Osbourne has put an end to his long and intense musical career. The legendary heavy metal singer will not go on his last planned US and UK tour because he “no longer feels physically capable” of doing it.
“This is probably one of the toughest decisions I’ve had to share with my loyal fans. As you know, four years ago, this month, I had a serious accident in which I injured my spine,” said member of the mythical band Black Sabbath in a message shared on Twitter.
The 74-year-old artist, born in Birmingham (England) and based in Los Angeles, added that, due to this, he can no longer afford the travel necessary for a tour. “My only purpose during this time has been to return to the stage. “My singing voice is fine. However, after three operations, stem cell treatments, endless physical therapy, and most recently the innovative Cybernics (HAL) treatment, my body is still physically weak,” he said.
During his career, which began as a member of Black Sabbath, Osbourne won several Grammy Awards, both for his solo work and for being part of that group, which he left in 1978, recalls CNN. “I could never imagine that my touring days could end this way. My team is trying to find a way for me to interpret without having to travel from city to city, from country to country,” explained the singer of such legendary songs as Iron man or Paranoid in your message. He keeps, therefore, a bullet in the chamber.
The winner of several MTV awards also thanked his team, his family, his lifelong friends, the Judas Priest group and, of course, his fans for their loyalty, support and for giving him “a life he never thought he could.” have”.
