I’m fed up with people getting killed every day' https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incomin...mes-Day-11.jpg https://welovebrum.co.uk/wp-content/...h-Games-2.jpeg Ozzy shocked everyone with a surprise performance at the closing ceremony of the Commonwealth Games in his hometown BIRMINGHAM Speaking to The Metro, Ozzy said: "Everything’s f****** ridiculous there. I’m fed up with people getting killed every day. God knows how many people have been shot in school shootings. "And there was that mass shooting in Vegas at that concert … It’s f****** crazy." Ozzy surprised everyone, even his Black Sabbath band-mates, when he defied the odds to perform at the closing ceremony of the Commonwealth Games in his hometown of Birmingham earlier this month. Speaking after the spectacular show, which saw Ozzy sing the 1970 classic Paranoid, Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi said he never thought it would happen after the lead singer had an operation recently to modify pins in his neck and spine following a bad fall at his LA home in 2019. "That last operation was only a few weeks ago and doctors told Ozzy he couldn’t fly,” he told Birmingham Live. "We’d been invited to perform at the Games a long time ago, but because of Ozzy’s condition I’d forgotten we’d even been asked. "I ended up performing solo at the opening ceremony with other musicians who I’d never met before. Ozzy then got in touch with me to see if he could come and play at the closing ceremony." Tony added he didn’t think Ozzy would be able to do it because of his operation – but was then told he was coming over and everyone needed to keep it a secret. The 74-year-old guitar legend continued: "I don’t know how Ozzy managed to get here from LA without anybody spotting him. I don’t think he came on a private jet." |

In a statement, he wrote: "This is probably one of the hardest things I've ever had to share with my loyal fans. As you may 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 realisation 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.

We will consider you a legend regardless of your future touring abilities." While another commented: "May you have a speedy recovery Sir. As for a venue perhaps like jimmy buffet and several other artist you could build a place where you could just play most of the time and people could come and see you a Prince of Darkness Bar or Pub." A third wrote: "I’ve been fortunate to see you perform live a handful of times over the years. Your endurance in the face of increasing physical challenges is inspirational. However painful the decision, it’s clearly the right one to preserve your health. No More Tears, keep barking at the moon." |
