Ozzy Osbourne to undergo surgery
Veteran rocker Ozzy Osbourne has canceled his upcoming Ozzfiesta event in Mexico to undergo surgery.
The Black Sabbath star was among the performers on the bill for his festival in Riviera Maya in May (15), but he has now axed the event due to an unspecified medical scare.
The promoters behind Ozzfiesta have confirmed Osbourne is set for
an operation and needs at least a month to recover, but no further
details about his condition have been given.
Ozzfiesta promoters Cool Breeze Concerts say in a statement, "Like
you, we were very excited about the event. However, Ozzy is having
surgery, scheduled for May, following his South American tour. He
requires at least four weeks of recovery time. We are very
disappointed that we need to cancel... We apologize for any
inconvenience and hope that you understand the circumstances
surrounding the cancellation."
Osbourne is currently on tour in South America. Those dates are not
believed to have been affected.
