Ozzy Postpones More Tour Dates; Says he isn’t Dying

Ozzy Osbourne has postponed a number of tour dates — again.

The 70-year-old rocker, who was forced to reschedule several stops on the European leg of his “No More Tours 2” trek due to health issues, now says he jumped the gun and needs a little more time to heal.

“At the beginning of this year, I had a bad fall,” Osbourne says in a video message. “I just screwed up the vertebrae in my neck and had to have surgery. I’ve got more nuts and bolts in my neck now than my car. I’m not dying, I am recovering. It’s just taking a little bit longer than everyone thought it would.”

The new dates for the postponed gigs, which were scheduled to occur between January and March, have not yet been determined.

Does it sound like it’s a good idea for Osbourne to go on tour at all? How do his live performances compare to his shows 20 or 30 years ago?
