He adds, “Never would I have imagined that my touring days would have ended this way. My team is currently coming up with ideas for where I will be able to perform without having to travel from city to city and country to country.”
Osbourne concludes, “I want to thank my family……my band…….my crew……my longtime friends, Judas Priest, and of course, my fans for their endless dedication, loyalty, and support, and for giving me the life that I never ever dreamed I would have. I love you all…”
Last year, the singer was said to be “on the road to recovery” after neck and spine surgery. His issues stem from a 2003 ATV accident that seriously wounded the rock star. Regardless, Osbourne made a triumphant return to the stage at the 2022 Commonwealth Games. He then performed during halftime at an NFL game. It’s currently unclear if Judas Priest will continue with the same or similar tour dates.
