Ozzy Osbourne cancels shows amid pneumonia recovery
Ozzy Osbourne has cancelled shows in Australia, New Zealand and Japan as his recovery from pneumonia continues.
His wife, Sharon Osbourne, provided the latest update from Ozzy's Twitter account.
The tweet read: “Ozzy recently developed pneumonia and has spent some time in hospital.
"He is through the worst part.
“His doctors have advised that he stay at home to recuperate for full six weeks.”
It comes after the Birmingham rock legend was rushed to intensive care amid concerns about his health, according to earlier reports.
The 70-year-old was allegedly sent to the critical facility in a private hospital after his bronchitis worsened.
The icon said he was “devastated” to cancel the shows, which would have seen him play Resorts World Area on February 9 alongside West Bromwich metal icons Judas Priest – along with a string of shows across Europe.
Mrs Osbourne previously said her husband was "overcome" by the reaction, but added it was bittersweet.
She said: "He's overcome by the response that he’s had, and it’s kind of bittersweet because he’s so overwhelmed with it, but he’s sad too.”
