After spending the last few months in and out of the hospital, Ozzy Osbourne is down on his luck again.
The ‘Prince of Darkness’ has now sustained injuries after falling in his Los Angeles home according to a tweet posted to his official account. The statement read:
“Ozzy will postpone all his tour dates as he recovers from injury sustained while dealing with pneumonia. Ozzy fell at his Los Angeles home aggravating years-old injuries (from his 2003 ATV accident) that required surgery.”
The severity of the injury is currently unknown, however, as a result of the fall, the former Black Sabbath frontman has postponed all upcoming tour dates on the highly anticipated ‘No More Tours 2’ tour — including those in Canada.
The Mr. Crowley singer was scheduled to hit the road at this spring for an extensive North American run with special guest, Megadeth.
Osbourne, 70, was booked for four stops across Canada this year. All shows have now been rescheduled until 2020.

Given his age and history of substance abuse, many fans have expressed their concern regarding Osbourne’s health status in the last few years.
According to the statement, the remainder of shows for Osbourne’s supposed “final world tour’ will be rescheduled “beginning in Feb. 2020.”
Osbourne’s longtime wife and manager, Sharon Osbourne, has not yet addressed the matter.

Only last October, Osbourne was infected with a near-fatal staph infection in his thumb. He was forced to cancel the remainder of his tour dates in 2018.
Although Osbourne expressed disappointment in himself, he was gracious in thanking his fans for their continued love, support and all-around loyalty in an official statement:
“I’m completely devastated for having to postpone the tour. It just seems that since October everything I touch has turned to s**t.”
The rocker was diagnosed with pneumonia in February. Due to complications, he was ordered by his doctor to postpone the U.K. and European legs of the tour scheduled with Judas Priest.
“First the staph infection in my thumb and now coming down with the flu and bronchitis,” continued Osbourne. “I want to apologize to all of my fans who have been so loyal over the years, my band, my crew, and to Judas Priest for letting you all down.”
