Ozzy has a stress fracture in his leg and flew home from New Orleans earlier today to see his doctors and rest and recuperate. Here is the official press statement: OZZY OSBOURNE FORCED BY DOCTORS TO POSTPONE SOME DATES ON MERRY MAYHEM TOUR Ozzy Osbourne has been forced by doctors to postpone ten dates on the Merry Mayhem tour due to a stress fracture in his leg. The fracture occurred when Ozzy fell coming out of the shower before the Tucson show on 10/31. He was unaware that the leg was fractured and continued to perform each night until the pain became unbearable. It was only yesterday that Ozzy went to the doctor and discovered that his fall had resulted in a stress fracture injury to his leg. The doctor immediately ordered Ozzy to stay off his leg and to cease touring to prevent further injury. Ozzy is flying back to Los Angeles today to consult with his personal physician to assess the extent of his injuries and to determine when he can resume touring. The dates will remain postponed until otherwise notified. The dates immediately affected are as follows: 11/9 Houston, TX / Compaq Center 11/10 Bossier City, LA / CenturyTel Arena 11/12 Knoxville, TN / Thompson Boling Arena 11/14 Nashville, TN / Gaylord Entertainment Center 11/15 Cleveland, OH / Gund Arena 11/17 Cincinnati, OH / Firstar Center 11/19 Birmingham, AL / BJCC 11/21 West Palm Bch, FL / Mars Music Amphitheater 11/23 Greensboro, NC / Greensboro Coliseum 11/24 Atlanta, GA / Philips Arena Further news regarding Ozzy Osbourne's condition, and the rescheduling of the dates postponed, will be forthcoming as soon as it becomes available. _____________________________________________________ OZZY DOES AN OLLEY AT THE MTV SPORTS AND MUSIC FESTIVAL Yes, Ozzy played at the MTV Sports and Music Festival in Vegas last month but sadly he didn't pop an olley. (He left his board at home, y'see.) He did, however, perform three songs during his first public concert with Zakk Wylde since 1992. The set, part of MTV's Sports and Music festivities in the downtown section of Las Vegas, will air November 15 at 5pm ET on MTV. Don't miss it! ______________________________________________________ OZZY STORE STOCKING NEW, EXCLUSIVE MERCH For official OZZY and MERRY MAYHEM merchandise go to www.ozzy.com and click on OZZY STORE.
