Ozzy Osbourne not 'physically capable' of tour after major surgery

London [UK], February 2: Ozzy Osbourne said that following extensive spinal surgery he is not "physically capable" of doing his tour dates in Europe in May and June. The 74-year-old former Black Sabbath singer had a fall at home in 2019 which aggravated injuries from a near-fatal quad bike crash in 2003. Since that time, Osbourne has performed during the closing ceremony at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games and an NFL game in the US in September. He told his fans on Instagram on Wednesday: "This is probably one of the hardest things I've ever had to share with my loyal fans. As you may all know, four years ago this month I had a major accident, where I damaged my spine. My one and only purpose during this time has been to get back on stage." Osbourne said his singing voice is "fine" but that, following three operations, stem cell treatments, physical therapy sessions, and Cybernics (HAL) Treatment, his body is "still weak." (dpa)
