Ozzy Osbourne Postpones Start Of U.K. Tour Due To Illness

Ozzy Osbourne has been forced to postpone four U.K. dates of his “No More Tours 2” farewell tour due to the flu. Judas Priest, who are accompanying the Black Sabbath legend on the European run, announced the postponement on Monday.

The tour, which was set to kick off on Wednesday, January 30, in Dublin, Ireland, will now begin in Glasgow on February 7. The affected shows in Dublin, Nottingham, Manchester, and Newcastle will be rescheduled.

“It is with great regret we have to announce that the first four UK shows on the Ozzy Osbourne/Judas Priest tour have been postponed due to Ozzy having a very bad case of flu – therefore Dublin, Nottingham, Manchester and Newcastle will be rescheduled at a later date – details to follow once finalised.” Judas Priest wrote on Instagram.

“We are very sorry that this has happened and to disappoint so many fans – we wish Ozzy well and look forward to the Glasgow, Birmingham and London shows together – and to the rescheduled ones in the future.”

Last year, Ozzy had postponed a bunch of shows before canceling the entire tour due to a hand infection that forced him to undergo surgery.
