After numerous health issues have led to Ozzy Osbourne postponing multiple shows and tours until 2020, he has broken his silence in a new trailer for “Home of Metal: Black Sabbath – 50 Years”, saying that he has never tried to escape his Birmingham roots and urging fans to follow their own dreams. Osbourne’s Black Sabbath bandmates Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler are also featured.
He said, “Well, whatever people think about me — and I don’t get the chance to go and see Birmingham very often — I’ve never ever tried to hide my accent, and I’ve never denied that I’m from Birmingham.
“I’m absolutely so proud with what I’ve done with my life; it’s unbelievable. Just hold on to your dreams, because you know what? Every once in a while they come true.”
“It’s an honor to be a part of the ‘Home Of Metal’. I am just a guy from Birmingham who’s been blessed to have had such dedicated fans throughout my career.”
Iommi added, “Fans are our lifeblood; they’ve always been there to support us.”
Butler said, “I’ve always maintained that Sabbath fans are the most loyal and honest and most independently minded of all. I thank each and everyone of them for their incredible support over the years.”
Ozzy Osbourne recently announced, “Ozzy will postpone all his 2019 tour dates, inclusive of shows in North America and Europe, as he recovers from an injury sustained while dealing with his recent bout of pneumonia,” the caption to the story read. “The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and Grammy®-winning singer and songwriter and 2019 Grammy® Special Merit Award recipient fell at his Los Angeles home aggravating years-old injuries (from his 2003 ATV accident) that required surgery last month.”
