For the first time in five years, the Black Sabbath vocalist was set to perform at Power Trip.
For years, Ozzy Osbourne has prioritized his music career over his health and well-being, but now he must prioritize both.
The Black Sabbath vocalist has had a lot of health issues in recent years, including a Parkinson’s disease diagnosis and many operations following a terrible accident.
He has previously stated his intention to continue doing what he enjoys most—performing on stage—but on Monday, he provided a difficult update to fans hoping to see him at the Power Trip Festival, a rock concert extravaganza organized by Coachella founders Goldenvoice and featuring legendary rock bands such as Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, AC/DC, Iron Maiden, and others.
Ozzy revealed on Monday, July 10, that he had to make the “painful” choice to quit the event, which was scheduled for October 6-8.
His post was as follows: “As painful as this is, I’ve had to make the decision to bow out of performing on Power Trip in October.”
“My original plan was to return to the stage in the summer of 2024,” he told me, “and when the offer to do this show came in, I optimistically moved forward.”
“My original plan was to return to the stage in the summer of 2024,” he told me, “and when the offer to do this show came in, I optimistically moved forward.”
He went on to say, “I love you all and will see you soon. Above all, I’d want to thank my fans, band, and crew for their steadfast commitment and continued support.”
Everyone loves you, my buddy, he said in the post’s comments, as did his devoted followers, who promptly expressed their condolences and encouragement. Take care of yourself,” and “Sir, there is no need to apologize; you have offered years of entertainment. Take care of yourself and remember that your health comes first, Ozz. Another fan responded, “Don’t apologize, Ozzy; just get well. “Take as much time as you need.”
Ozzy discussed his wish to perform again with People in September of last year while promoting Patient 9, his 13th solo studio album.
At the time, he declared, “I am determined to get back on stage, even if I have to be nailed to a board and wheeled on,” adding, “Survival is my legacy.”
I’ve never been so laid up, despite the fact that my past health concerns “totally messed me up,” he remarked. He said, “I don’t understand my luck, and I’m not going anytime soon.
I belong here, in this location. He stated that the biggest love affair he has ever had is with his audience.
