The frontman for Black Sabbath was supposed to perform at Power Trip for the first time in five years.
Ozzy Osbourne has prioritized his music career over his health and well-being for a long time.
The singer of Black Sabbath has had multiple surgeries after a catastrophic accident, as well as a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease in recent years.
Previously, he declared his intention to continue doing what he loves most, which is performing on stage. However, on Monday, he provided fans who were hoping to see him at the Power Trip Festival, a rock concert extravaganza hosted by Goldenvoice, the founders of Coachella, with a difficult update. The lineup includes legendary rock bands like Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, AC/DC, Iron Maiden, and others.
On Monday, July 10, Ozzy announced that, even though the event was scheduled for October 6–8, he had to make the “painful” decision to withdraw.
“As painful as this is, I’ve had to make the decision to bow out of performing on Power Trip in October,” he posted on Instagram.
“I was hoping to go back on stage in the summer of 2024,” he said, “so when this show was offered, I took an optimistic step forward.”
“I was hoping to go back on stage in the summer of 2024,” he said, “so when this show was offered, I took an optimistic step forward.”
“I love you all, and I will see you soon,” he said. I want to express my gratitude to my band, crew, and fans above all for their continuous support and steadfast dedication.
He said in the post’s comments, “Everyone loves you, my buddy,” and his devoted followers swiftly responded with condolences and words of support. “Sir, there’s no need to apologize; you’ve provided years of fun. Take care of yourself.” Ozz, remember to look after yourself and put your health first. “Get well, Ozzy, and please don’t apologize,” exclaimed another admirer. Give it as much time as it requires.
In September of last year, Ozzy talked about wanting to play again with People while releasing Patient 9, his thirteenth studio album as a solo artist.
He said at the time, “Survival is my legacy,” and “I am determined to get back on stage, even if I have to be nailed to a board and wheeled on.”
Even though my prior health problems “totally messed me up,” I’ve never been this laid up, he remarked. “I don’t understand my luck, and I’m not going anywhere anytime soon,” he exclaimed.
This is where I belong, this place. He added, “My audience is the biggest love affair I’ve ever been in.”
