Ozzy Osbourne won’t be hitting the road this year. The legendary British rocker just announced that he is forced to postpone all of his live shows in 2019 due to an injury. Earlier this year, Osbourne had to cancel shows in Australia, New Zealand, and Japan due to complications caused by pneumonia.

According to the official statement, Osbourne fell and aggravated an old injury he got in an ATV accident in 2003. He was forced to undergo a surgery and is now recovering in Los Angeles under the supervision of doctors.

“I can’t believe I have to reschedule more tour dates,” said Osburne. “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!”

Ozzy Osbourne’s North America leg of the tour is now scheduled for the summer of 2020. The 70-year-old rocker will kick off the tour in Atlanta on May 27, 2020 and wrap up the trip in Las Vegas on July 31. Check out the full list of rescheduled dates below.
