Ozzy Osbourne has had to cancel his own festival in order to undergo surgery.
The Black Sabbath singer was scheduled to perform the Hard Rock Hotel in Riviera Maya from May 27-31.
Ozzfiesta - the Mexican leg of Ozzfest -
was due to take place at Riviera Maya's Hard Rock Hotel on May 27, but
the concert has now been cancelled, as the Black Sabbath frontman will
be undergoing surgery, and needs four weeks recovery time, according to
doctors.
Cool Breeze is offering refunds to people who purchased tickets to the event.
Osbourne will undergo surgery following shows in South America, which begin April 25.
Black Sabbath will play its final show on Nov. 22, headlining the second
day of Ozzfest at Japan's Makuhari Messe venue, outside Tokyo.
Rolling Stone
reports that the surgery is 'unspecified'. Osbourne will still be
playing a number of Monsters of Rock gigs in Brazil and Argentina at the
end of April, ahead of his medical treatment.
Black Sabbath will release one final album
in 2015, the follow-up to '13'. Frontman Osbourne says he understands
his bandmates desire to stop touring but that he is not ready to give up
yet. "[This will be] our last hurrah…then it's no more Sabbath at all.
We're disbanding the name and everything. They don't want to tour
anymore. I get it. But I love it. I'm gonna continue my solo thing,"
says Osbourne revealing that he is "in the process of collecting stuff
that I'm writing" for his next solo effort.
Black Sabbath have released 13 studio albums since forming in 1968. The current line up of the band sees Osbourne and guitarist Tony Iommi joined by third original member Geezer Butler on bass.
