Sharon Osbourne Abruptly Cancels Entire Talk Show Tour Over 'Family Issue' Amid Husband's Ailing Health
Sharon Osbourne has mysteriously called off her planned talk show tour over an alleged "family issue." The TV personality had previously canceled a public appearance at Mad Monster Party in Phoenix due to her husband Ozzy Osbourne "not being able to fly." Sharon Osbourne has been the primary caretaker of her ailing husband, who has been battling Parkinson's disease and is said to be unable to walk. Sharon has sparked concerns after she abruptly canceled her entire talk show tour. The 72-year-old was scheduled to head to Scandinavia this week for a series of four shows dubbed "Cut The Cr-p," but the dates have now been mysteriously canceled at the last minute. She was supposed to kick off the tour on Tuesday in Stockholm and visit other cities within the region, including Helsinki, where one venue detailed the event saying: "Sharon Osbourne, the well-known international TV personality, is now making her debut on stage – live. On her European tour, she'll be interviewed by Danish model and actress Brigitte Nielsen." "On stage, Sharon promises to reveal everything about the most challenging years of her eventful life," the venue added. Although Sharon is yet to comment on why she pulled the plug on the tour, The Mirror reports that Oslo's Folketeateret Venue, where she was due to be appearing on Saturday, said they believed it was because of a "family issue." Last year, she was forced to cancel a public appearance at Mad Monster Party in Phoenix due to her husband Ozzy "not being able to fly." The tour cancellation comes amid her husband Ozzy's ailing health condition with Parkinson's disease. Sharon has been the primary caregiver of the legendary rocker, who was first diagnosed with the condition in 2003. In February, she opened up about Ozzy's health as he prepares to hit the stage for his final concert in July with his Black Sabbath group. Sharon disclosed that the Black Sabbath frontman can no longer walk due to the effects of the condition on his health, but shared that his singing voice is "as good as ever." "He's very happy to be coming back and very emotional about this," Sharon told The Sun of her husband's final show. "Parkinson's is a progressive disease. It's not something you can stabilize. It affects different parts of the body, and it's affected his legs," she continued. "But his voice is as good as it's ever been." Ozzy disclosed he had been diagnosed with the brain disorder in 2020 after suffering a fall the previous year. He has reportedly undergone seven surgeries in the past five years, including a fourth spinal surgery in September 2023. Meanwhile, Ozzy will reportedly not perform a full set when he reunites with his Black Sabbath band for the first time in 20 years. Earlier this year, the Prince of Darkness opened up about his upcoming performance in his "Ozzy Speaks Show," where he confessed that he'll only be doing "little bits and pieces." "I'm not planning on doing a set with Black Sabbath, but I am doing little bits and pieces with them," he said, per the Daily Mail. "I am doing what I can, where I feel comfortable." The event will feature a dozen bands, including Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Gojira, and Anthrax, and will also see a "supergroup" performance comprising members of Limp Bizkit, Van Halen, The Smashing Pumpkins, and Faith No More. Despite Ozzy's love for performance, Sharon noted that the concert would be the rocker's final show. "Ozzy didn't have a chance to say goodbye to his friends, to his fans, and he feels there's been no full stop," she said. "This is his full stop." The all-day heavy metal concert at Villa Park is a charity initiative, as proceeds from the show will be donated to several Parkinson-related charities. These charities include Cure Parkinson's, the Birmingham Children's Hospital, and Acorn Children's Hospice, a Children's Hospice supported by Aston Villa. Sharon's husband, Ozzy, was forced to quit touring in early 2023 because of his many health conditions. However, he disclosed that if he got the chance to play one final show, it would be to repay a debt of gratitude he owed to his fans for their support through the years. "That's one of the things I've been the most fucking pissed off at: I never got the chance to say goodbye or thank you," he told Rolling Stone UK. "Because my fans are what it's all about. If I can just do a few gigs… They've been loyal to me for f-cking years. They write to me, they know all about my dogs. It's my extended family, really, and they give us the lifestyle we have. For whatever reason, that's my goal to work to. To do those shows." He added: "If I can't continue doing shows on a regular basis, I just want to be well enough to do one show where I can say, 'Hi guys, thanks so much for my life.' That's what I'm working towards, and if I drop down dead at the end of it, I'll die a happy man."

Sharon Osbourne cancels entire talk show tour at the 11th hour
The former X Factor judge should be in Scandinavia this week but has cancelled four shows at the last minute Sharon Osbourne has cancelled her entire talk show tour at the last minute and in mysterious circumstances. The former X factor judge and wife of rocker Ozzy was due to head to Scandinavia this week for a series of four shows she calls 'Cut The Crap'. One venue in Helsinki detailed the event saying: 'Sharon Osbourne, the well-known international TV personality, is now making her debut on stage – live. On her European tour, she'll be interviewed by Danish model and actress Brigitte Nielsen. 'On stage, Sharon promises to reveal everything about the most challenging years of her eventful life.' But the dates, which were due to kick off in Stockholm tonight have now all been cancelled. The Mirror has gone to the promoter for comment but he has not responded at the time of going to press. When we called Oslo's Folketeateret Venue where she was due to be appearing on Saturday, they said the event was cancelled and said they believed it was due to a "family issue". A spokesman for Sharon said they did not know why the tour had been cancelled. We have also approached her agent in the US. Sharon appears to be in the US at the moment and has posted on social media about the Coachella festival and also sent fans an Easter message. Sharon will be back on the road soon though and is due to join Ozzy this Summer at his final ever show on stage. Ozzy and Black Sabbath will headline their final gig on July 5th at Villa Park in Birmingham, as part of an event titled "Back To The Beginning". This show will reunite the original band members – Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward – for the first time in 20 years. The concert will also feature sets from various heavy metal bands, including Metallica, Slayer, and Pantera. But Ozzy's poor health means he won't be able to play a full set. Speaking about Metal Hammer magazine, Sharon said: "Ozzy's very excited and feels very overwhelmed that all the guys in Sabbath and his mates are all turning up. "It's the perfect way to say goodbye to his fans, because that was his big regret - he felt he never had a chance to say 'thank you' to the fans, and this is the perfect way his career should end." Sharon has managed Ozzy's incredible career for decades and was a judge on The X Factor from 2004 to 2007, and she returned in 2013, and again from 2016 to 2017. She was the winning judge in the 10th season when Sam Bailey, a contestant from the Over 25s category.
