Following health problems, Ozzy Osbourne was forced to cancel his participation in the festival which would have seen him join Metallica, AC/DC and the Guns N’ Roses.
Ozzy Osbourne recently hit a milestone in his recovery from surgery following a fall injury in 2019, his wife and manager, Sharon Osbourne, has told Rolling Stone. « He is much better, she said. But he still has a long way to go before he can give a full concert. »
In July, Ozzy had to make the difficult decision to pull out of the upcoming Power Trip festival, which would have seen him headline alongside Metallica, AC/DC, Guns N’ Roses and more. ” Unfortunately, my body tells me that I’m not ready yet and I’m far too proud for the first concert I’ve given in almost five years to be halfhearted. “, he wrote in a message to his fans.
« We can’t talk regarding it at home because it’s so heartbreaking to see that all he wants is just one more gig said Kelly Osbourne, who was with Sharon for an interview regarding the return of the Osbournes Podcast.
« And Ozzy wants to participate in this concert with all his friendsadds Sharon. It’s heartbreaking for him to see everyone moving forward and being left behind. »
« He might do it now if he sat in a chairreplies Kelly, because the voice is there; there is no problem with the voice. »
« But he won’t do it said Sharon.
« He said if he mightn’t give his fans what they paid to see, he wouldn’t.”, explains Kelly. Sharon agrees and says the reason is that Ozzy is still a fan himself and knows what it’s like to be one.
Speaking regarding the podcast, Sharon told Rolling Stone that the family were still waiting for the green light from Ozzy’s doctors to be able to return to England, a decision made last year. ” I think it will be good for him to return to England for a while. We can have privacy there. And he will be able to do his little business and have his own garden. He can fish a little. »
Ozzy Osbourne was in the middle of his tour No More Tours 2, his last world tour, in 2018, when a staph infection forced him to stop. Shortly following the start of 2019, while planning to hit the road once more, he fell in the middle of the night and aggravated a spinal injury he had suffered in 2003 in a car accident. quad which had almost been fatal to him. A doctor placed two metal plates in his neck, but these ended up making his pain worse and he underwent further surgery last year. Meanwhile, he also revealed that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, but he told Rolling Stone last year that her symptoms were mild to non-existent.
Osbourne was able to play two gigs, one in Birmingham, England, and the other in Los Angeles, last year, but each only lasted a song or two, and he had a backing once morest which he might lean on when needed. After the Birmingham gig, he told Rolling Stone how invigorated the experience had been. ” Until last night I was semi-retireddid he declare. For three years, I told myself that I would never go on stage. I kinda half-convinced myself that [ma carrière de musicien live] was over “. But he added that the experience had been so intense that he would have done everything he might to get back on stage.
Judas Priest, who was to provide the first part of the No More Tours 2 d’Osbourne before the dates are cancelled, will replace him at Power Trip.
