Ozzy Osbourne cancels Newcastle show as he announces 'touring days are over'

Ozzy Osbourne has cancelled his show at Newcastle's Utilita Arena this summer as he announced the end of his touring days.

The former Black Sabbath singer said that following extensive spinal surgery he is not “physically capable” of doing his tour dates in Europe and the UK. The 74-year-old had been due to perform in Newcastle on June 3 in front of thousands of fans, however, those with tickets will be able to get a refund.

It comes after Osbourne had a fall at home in 2019 which aggravated injuries from a near-fatal quad bike crash in 2003. Since then Osbourne has performed during the closing ceremony at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games and an NFL game in the US in September.
