Last December, in an exclusive interview with Yahoo Entertainment<\/a>, Ozzy Osbourne declared, \u201cI just wanna get back on that stage. I’ve gotta get back on that stage. It\u2019s driving me nuts, not being able to. \u2026 It’s not a job, what I do. It\u2019s a passion.\u201d At that time, the 74-year-old heavy metal legend had been planning to resume his long-delayed \u201cNo More Tours II\u201d tour in spring 2023, but a month after speaking with Yahoo, he announced that he was officially retiring from touring<\/a> due to a 2003 spinal injury that he re-aggravated in 2019.<\/p>\n

However, in his January 2023 statement, Osbourne clarified that his team was \u201ccoming up with ideas for where I will be able to perform without having to travel<\/a> from city to city and country to country\u201d \u2014 and that solution seemed to be this coming October\u2019s Power Trip festival. Held in Indio only a three-hour drive from Osbourne\u2019s Los Angeles home, the metal fest was to feature Osbourne playing Saturday on a co-headlining bill with AC\/DC. But now Osbourne has once again taken to social media<\/a> with a disapp<\/a>ointing update, revealing that he isn\u2019t well enough to perform so soon.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs painful as this is, I\u2019ve had to make the decision to bow out of performing on Power Trip in October,\u201d Osbourne announced Monday. \u201cMy original plan was to return to the stage in the summer of 2024… Unfortunately, my body is telling me that I\u2019m just not ready yet and I am much too proud to have the first show that I do in nearly five years be half-assed… I want to thank my fans, my band, and my crew for their unconditional loyalty and continual support. I love you all and I will see you soon. God Bless, Ozzy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Osbourne performed twice in 2022 \u2014 in August at the Commonwealth Game<\/a>s Closing Ceremony in his native Birmingham, England, and at September\u2019s NFL Kickoff at Los Angeles\u2019s SoFi Stadium \u2014 but he only sang two songs at each event. His last full show was on New Year\u2019s Eve 2018 at L.A.\u2019s Forum, and it was after that concert that the \u201cfloodgates opened,\u201d resulting in the health problems he is sadly facing now during \u201cthe longest time I’ve been sick in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n
