Despite his optimism to treat a form of Parkinson’s disease, Ozzy Osbourne has canceled his 2020 “No More Tours 2.”
His rep announced Monday night that the upcoming trek, which was slated to kick off at a nearly sold-out State Farm Arena in Atlanta May 27 with Marilyn Manson opening, was nixed so Osbourne could head to Europe for additional treatments.
Last month, the rocker and wife Sharon shared that Osbourne, 71, was diagnosed with the disease in February 2019 and planned to travel to Switzerland in the spring to meet with a professor who studies immune systems.
“Unfortunately, I won’t be able to get to Switzerland for treatment until April and the treatment takes six-eight weeks,” Osbourne said in a statement. “I don’t want to start a tour and then cancel shows at the last minute, as it’s just not fair to the fans. I’d 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.”
The tour was originally slated for 2019 and postponed then as Osbourne recovered from various health issues, including pneumonia and a fall at home.
Refunds are available at the original point of purchase and credit card purchases will automatically be refunded.
Osbourne’s new album, “Ordinary Man,” is due Feb. 21.
