Singer Ozzy Osbourne has been forced to postpone his 2019 tour owing to injuries he sustained while dealing with illness, he announced on April 4.

Osbourne, 70, had been dealing with pneumonia, and during that time he sustained an injury when he “fell at his Los Angeles home aggravating years-old injuries (from his 2003 ATV accident) that required surgery last month,” according to a press release posted on his Facebook page.

The singer will “will remain under doctor’s care in Los Angeles as he recovers,” the news release stated.

All shows in 2019 will be pushed back to 2020, and customers are being asked to hold onto their original tickets, and they will be honored for the rescheduled dates, according to the release.

“I can’t believe I have to reschedule more tour dates. Words cannot express how frustrated, angry, and depressed I am not to be able to tour right now,” said the “Crazy Train” singer in the statement.

”I’m grateful for the love and support I’m getting from my family, my band, friends, and fans, it’s really what’s keeping me going. Just know that I am getting better every day … I will fully recover … I will finish my tour … I will be back!”

Amid his bout of pneumonia, his wife, Sharon, said he was “breathing on his own” in February.

“He’s overcome by the response he’s had,” she said on the program, according to Blabbermouth, which cited her comments on “The Talk.”
