His words
Ozzy explained, "As you all may know, four years ago I had a serious accident in which I damaged my spine. After three surgeries, stem cell treatments, endless physical therapy sessions, and most recently the groundbreaking Cybernics (HAL) treatment, my body is still physically weak. I am honestly humbled by the way you all have been patiently holding your tickets all this time. But in good conscience, I have now realized that I am not physically able to do my next tour." The tickets, from what we learn, will be refunded.
