Ozzy Osbourne has postponed his UK and European tour for a second time as his recovery from a series of health setbacks is taking longer than expected.
The 70-year-old metal legend broke the news in a video, giving fans an update on his health and explaining that he is still recovering following surgery he required after a fall in his home back in January.
As a result, the entire European leg of his No More Tours 2 Tour, including his UK arena dates in January and February, has been postponed. His North American tour, which kicks off in May 2020, is currently still going ahead.
In the video, during which he refers to his injury as "this fucking neck thing," he said:
"I'm here to give you an update on my condition. As you probably know, or you may not know, at the beginning of this year, I had a bad fall.
"I screwed all the vertebrae in my neck and had to have surgery. I've got a lot more nuts and bolts in my neck now than in my car. I'm not dying, I am recovering. It's just taking a little bit longer than everyone thought it would. I'm bored stiff of being stuck on a fucking bed all day. I can't wait to get off my ass and get going again. But you're just gonna have to be a little bit more patient.
"I'm postponing the European tour because I'm not ready. I'm not retiring — I've still got gigs to do — but when I do come back on an American tour, I wanna be one hundred percent ready to come out and knock your fucking socks off. And also, there's a new album on the way.
"Thank you to my band and my crew and Live Nation, and most of all, Judas Priest.
"I just wanna say one thing to the fans: I sincerely thank you for your patience and your loyalty. I love you. Now, will you fuck off and let me get better."
