Ozzy Osbourne cancels US tour after Parkinson’s announcement

Part of the “No More Tours 2” is no more. Ozzy Osbourne has announced that he will not be able to embark on the North American leg of the tour, Rolling Stone reported.

Osbourne announced he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease on “Good Morning America," last month. He also fell early last year and had to undergo surgery.

Rolling Stone reported the Prince of Darkness released a statement that said, “Unfortunately, I won’t be able to get to Switzerland for treatment until April and that treatment takes six to eight weeks. 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 brought a ticket for these shows will be the first ones in line to purchase tickets at that time.”

The tour was supposed to hit cities in the U.S. and Canada starting in May, USA Today reported.

The European leg of “No More Tours 2” still has dates set for October through December, according to USA Today.
