Ozzy Osbourne, a famous rock musician, has announced his retirement from touring due to physical limitations.
The Black Sabbath leader admitted to his followers that his 2019 spine ailment was still causing him difficulty.
In a statement posted on social media, he added, "Never would I have dreamed my touring days would end this way.
The star's injuries from a fall four years ago worsened those from a quad bike accident that almost killed him in 2003.
The 74-year-old remarked, "My singing voice is fine. But despite three surgeries, stem cell therapy, countless hours of physical therapy, and most recently, the ground-breaking Cybernics (HAL) Treatment, my body is still feeble.
A mechanical "exoskeleton" costing $20,000 (£16,230) is used as part of the cybernics therapy to assist patients regain their mobility.
Osbourne's farewell tour of Europe and the UK, which was scheduled to start in Finland this May, was postponed indefinitely as a result of the remark.
Following his initial accident and the Covid-19 pandemic, the shows had already been postponed numerous times.
The musician expressed his gratitude for everyone's patience in holding onto their tickets for so long, but added, "In all good conscience, I have now come to the realization that I'm not physically capable... as I know I couldn't deal with the journey involved."
His staff is already brainstorming locations where I could perform without having to fly from city to city and country to country, he continued.
The diagnosis of Parkinson's
Osbourne has experienced a variety of medical issues recently, including Covid and Parkinson's Disease, which he was initially diagnosed with in 2003 but didn't make public until 2020.
He revealed the disease has affected his movement in an interview with The Guardian from last year.
He continued, "You think you're lifting your feet, but your foot doesn't move. "I have the impression that my boots are made of lead.
The removal and realignment of pins from his neck and back required significant surgery last year, which, according to his wife Sharon Osbourne, "would define the remainder of his life."
The singer was in "agony" after the successful procedure.
In the same interview with The Guardian, he said, "It got so severe that at one point I thought: 'Oh God, please don't let me wake up tomorrow morning'."
Despite this, the celebrity performed Iron Man and Paranoid at the Commonwealth Games closing ceremony in Birmingham the previous year.
He had a back brace behind him for support during that performance.
One of the hardest things Osbourne had to tell his devoted followers was that he would no longer be touring, he added in his statement.
He continued by expressing gratitude for the support of his family, band, crew, and traveling companions Judas Priest.
Finally, he expressed gratitude to them for "their unwavering devotion... and for giving me the life I never ever dreamt I would have."
