Ozzy Obsourne has postponed all of his tour dates for the year due to an injury.

The musician’s team broke the news on Thursday, explaining that Osbourne fell at his Los Angeles home while recovering from a recent bout of pneumonia – which had already forced him to reschedule several concerts.

Osbourne’s most recent fall aggravated old injuries resulting from a 2003 ATV accident and required a surgical operation last month, according to his team.

“I can’t believe I have to reschedule more tour dates,” Osbourne said in a statement.

“Words cannot express how frustrated, angry and depressed I am not to be able to tour right now. I’m grateful for the love and support I’m getting from my family, my band, friends and fans, it’s really what’s keeping me going.

“Just know that I am getting better every day... I will fully recover... I will finish my tour... I will be back!”

The 70-year-old singer will keep recovering in Los Angeles under his doctor’s care.

His rescheduled shows should start in February 2020. Fans who have already purchased tickets should keep their documents for future concerts.
