Hey there! So, let's talk about Ozzy Osbourne, the legendary rock star whose life reads like a wild adventure novel. Recently, the 69-year-old icon had to cancel several shows on his U.S. tour due to an unexpected health scare—an infection in his thumb. Now, this might sound trivial to some, but trust me, it’s no small matter. The infection spread throughout his right hand, causing it to swell to what Ozzy hilariously described as "the size of a f***ing lightbulb." Can you imagine? A rock star dealing with a swollen hand instead of headbanging on stage!
Ozzy Opens Up About His Medical Ordeal
In a candid interview with the Daily Star, Ozzy shared the details of his ordeal. He said, "I’m having the best time of my life—apart from that f***king thing with my thumb, and I didn’t realize that it was very dangerous." The situation was serious enough to land him in the hospital for a few days, where he underwent emergency surgery. Ozzy recounted the moment he woke up post-surgery, saying, "I remember waking up in the morning, and Sharon [Osbourne] said: ‘What the f*** have you done to your hand?’" Classic Sharon, always keeping it real.

The four cancelled shows were originally scheduled as follows: Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, CA (October 6), Mattress Firm Amphitheatre in Chula Vista (October 9), the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles (October 11) and MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas (October 13). The three California shows had previously been rescheduled following his initial prognosis from doctors. All four shows will be rescheduled for 2019. “I’m so fu**ing bummed about cancelling these shows,” OSBOURNE says. “The tour had been going great and we were really looking forward to these last few gigs. We’re hoping everyone will be patient and we’ll look forward to seeing them at the shows next year.” Ticketholders for the four shows should hold on to their tickets, as they will be honored for the rescheduled dates. Refunds are also available at point of purchase.

The Seriousness of the Infection
Here's the kicker—doctors informed Ozzy that if the infection had entered his bloodstream, it could have been fatal. Can you believe it? The cause of all this chaos? Apparently, Ozzy got it from a manicure! He joked about it, saying, "The funny thing is they reckon I got it from a manicure!" Despite this setback, Ozzy is determined to continue his tour in the UK in February. Now, that's what I call resilience. A rock legend like Ozzy wouldn’t want to bow out due to something as mundane as a manicure. He'd prefer going out with a bang, maybe even biting a live bat. That's more in line with his rock 'n' roll legacy, right?
Ozzy's Support System: Sharon Osbourne
Ozzy was lucky to have Sharon by his side during this ordeal. The couple celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary earlier this year, a testament to their enduring partnership. Sharon shared a heartfelt throwback photo on social media, captioning it, "Thank you Ozzy for 35 crazy & wonderful years. You carry my heart in yours, and it’s getting older and needs protecting. Happy Anniversary." Their love story is as inspiring as Ozzy's music career.
So, let's give Ozzy a big round of applause for overcoming yet another obstacle. Here's to hoping his hand heals quickly so he can rock the world once again. Cheers to the Prince of Darkness for proving that even rock stars can face challenges with humor and grace.
