Early last year, the singer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-features\/ozzy-osbourne-recovery-interview-871983\/\">suffered a fall<\/a> that required surgery, sidelining him from touring. Earlier this year, he revealed that he had been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/ozzy-osbourne-parkinsons-disease-940329\/\">diagnosed with Parkinson\u2019s disease<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m so thankful that everyone has been patient because I\u2019ve had a shit year,\u201d Osbourne said in a statement. \u201cUnfortunately, I won\u2019t be able to get to Switzerland for treatment until April and the treatment takes six to eight weeks. I don\u2019t want to start a tour and then cancel shows at the last minute, as it\u2019s just not fair to the fans. I\u2019d rather they get a refund now and when I do the North American tour down the road, everyone who bought a ticket for these shows will be the first ones in line to purchase tickets at that time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Full refunds, including fees, will be available at the point of purchase. Those who had bought tickets to the tour will get first access when rescheduled dates go on sale.<\/p>\n<p>The North American leg of the trek was set to kick off on May 27th in Atlanta and run through a July 31st gig in Las Vegas. A European leg is still on the books and will kick off in Newcastle, England on October 23rd; the cancellation does not affect these dates.<\/p>\n<p>The timing for the cancelled U.S. dates is unfortunate, as Osbourne is in the midst of promoting a new album, <em>Ordinary Man<\/em>, which comes out Friday. He still has an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/ozzy-osbourne-tattoos-ordinary-man-948717\/\">in-store signing<\/a> at Amoeba Hollywood planned for that day, as well as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/ozzy-osbourne-tattoos-ordinary-man-948717\/\">tattoo-parlor takeover<\/a> on Thursday, where fans will get to hear the album in full while receiving an Ozzy-inspired tattoo.<\/p>\n<p><em>Ordinary Man <\/em>features a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/ozzy-osbourne-elton-john-post-malone-ordinary-man-album-935909\/\">star-studded group of collaborators<\/a> including Elton John, Post Malone, and members of Guns N\u2019 Roses, Rage Against the Machine, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Post Malone\u2019s producer, Andrew Watt, helmed the record and played guitar on it. Osbourne recently explained at a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/new-ozzy-osbourne-album-ordinary-man-event-952903\/\">SiriusXM event<\/a> in Los Angeles that making the record with Watt was therapeutic for him. \u201cI\u2019d been feeling like fucking death,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd Andrew was a shining light for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"pmc-contextual-player\">\n<h3> Popular on Rolling Stone <\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/ozzy-osbourne-cancel-no-more-tours-2-953968\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Rolling Stone<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ozzy Osbourne has canceled the upcoming North American leg of his No More Tours 2 as he seeks treatment for health setbacks.
