British rock icon Ozzy Osbourne announced he was pulling out of the Power Trip music festival scheduled for October, citing persistent health problems
“My original plan was to return to the stage in the summer of 2024, & when the offer to do this show came in, I optimistically moved forward,” he wrote in a statement on Twitter. “Unfortunately, my body is telling me that I’m just not ready yet and I am much too proud to have the first show that I do in nearly five years be half-assed.” He added that the band replacing him at the festival were “personal friends of mine,” and would be announced shortly.
He became famous for his colorful performances, especially throughout the 1980s, including when he threw raw meat on concertgoers, and bit into a dead bat tossed onto the stage by a fan . In the 90s, Osbourne and wife, Sharron, founded the popular music festival, Ozzfest, providing a platform for a new generation of metal bands such as Slipknot.
