Ozzy Osbourne has canceled his 2020 North American tour, "No More Tours 2", to seek treatment for his various health issues.

The news was posted to Ozzy.com on Monday and explained that the decision was made "to accommodate fans who've been holding tickets for rescheduled shows." Ticketholders likely remember that the 71-year-old rock legend had postponed all of his tour dates in 2019, following both a bout of pneumonia and a fall.

“I’m so thankful that everyone has been patient because I’ve had a [expletive] year,” Osbourne said in a statement. “Unfortunately, I won’t be able to get to Switzerland for treatment until April and the treatment takes six-eight weeks. I don’t want to start a tour and then cancel shows at the last minute, as it’s just not fair to the fans."

Despite the unfortunate news about "No More Tours 2", Osbourne plans to make it up to ticket holders. Not only will fans be issued a refund, but they will also be first to have access to purchase tickets when the next tour is announced.

Just a few weeks ago the Black Sabbath frontman opened up about his current health struggles during an interview with "Good Morning America" anchor Robin Roberts. He revealed that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, a neurodegenerative disorder that progresses slowly in most people and that currently has no cure.

Amid everything that's happened with Osbourne, he remains in good spirits and hopeful about the future and his wife, Sharon Osbourne, shared the same attitude.

"He's gonna get back out there," she said. "And he's gonna do what he loves to do; I know it."
