In a heartfelt message to his fans, legendary rocker Ozzy Osbourne has announced his retirement from touring due to ongoing health challenges. The 76-year-old artist, renowned as the “Prince of Darkness,” expressed deep regret over his inability to continue performing live, stating, “I want to say a proper goodbye.”
Osbourne’s decision comes after a series of health setbacks, including a Parkinson’s disease diagnosis in 2019 and subsequent surgeries. Despite his determination to return to the stage, these medical issues have significantly impacted his mobility and overall well-being. His wife, Sharon Osbourne, recently shared that Ozzy is struggling to walk, though his singing voice remains strong.
To chronicle his journey and provide fans with an intimate look into his life, a new documentary titled No Escape From Now is set to premiere on Paramount+. The film will explore Osbourne’s health battles and his resilience in the face of adversity.
While Osbourne may no longer embark on extensive tours, he has hinted at the possibility of special performances or collaborations in the future. He remains grateful for the unwavering support of his fans throughout his illustrious career.
