Ozzy Osbourne forced to recuperate at home for six weeks

Ozzy Osbourne’s health is improving, but he’s still not well enough to perform.

The rocker’s wife, Sharon Osbourne, took to Twitter late Monday to announce that he must cancel a slew of concert dates for his No More Tours II tour, including stops in Australia, New Zealand and Japan. He’s already postponed European tour dates.

“Ozzy recently developed pneumonia & has spent some time in hospital,” Sharon said in a brief statement. “He is through the worst part. His doctors have advised that he stay at home to recuperate for a full 6 weeks.”

Ozzy, 70, landed in the ICU earlier this month for complications from the flu. That was after his coughing was so intense that he ruptured a blood vessel in his eye.

And, at the end of 2018, the Black Sabbath frontman nearly died from a manicure after contracting a serious infection in his thumb that spread to his right hand.
