Official statement.

This is probably one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to share with my loyal fans. As you may all know, four years ago, this month, I had a major accident, where I damaged my spine.

My one and only purpose during this time has been to get back on stage. My singing voice is fine. However, after three operations, stem cell treatments, endless physical therapy sessions, and most recently groundbreaking Cybernics (HAL) Treatment, my body is still physically weak.

I am honestly humbled by the way you’ve all patiently held onto your tickets for all this time, but in all good conscience, I have now come to the realization that I’m not physically capable of doing my upcoming European/UK tour dates, as I know I couldn’t deal with the travel required. Believe me when I say that the thought of disappointing my fans really ****S ME UP, more than you will ever know.

Never would I have imagined that my touring days would have ended this way. My team is currently coming up with ideas for where I will be able to perform without having to travel from city to city and country to country.

I want to thank my family……my band…….my crew……my longtime friends, Judas Priest, and of course, my fans for their endless dedication, loyalty, and support, and for giving me the life that I never ever dreamed I would have.

I love you all…

Ticket refunds are available at point of purchase.

Ya gotta love that he threw an F bomb in his statement. Oz is true blue!

Black Sabbath and Ozzie, always been favorites of mine. I have Black Sabbaths 1st 5 vinyl albums, in plastic sleeves and stored in a safe place. As I do with many 70's vinyl albums.

That had to be tough for him to hang up his microphone. I can attest -- health problems really SUCK when they prevent you from doing what you want to do. At least he had a long and great run.
