Ozzy Osbourne to undergo surgery

Ozzy Osbourne has cancelled the Mexico leg of Ozzfest because he needs surgery.

Mexico's Black Sabbath date for May 27 has been cancelled but the Monsters of Rock gigs in Brazil and Argentina will go ahead in April before Ozzy heads to hospital.

The statement from Ozzfesta reads, "Cool Breeze Concerts regret to inform you that Ozzfiesta is cancelled.

Like you, we were very excited about the event. However, Ozzy is having surgery, scheduled for May, following his South American tour. He requires at least four weeks of recovery time. We are very disappointed that we need to cancel.
We will be offering refunds which will be processed in the next 4-6 weeks. If you decide that you would still enjoy an all inclusive vacation at the Hard Rock, Riviera Maya, Mexico please send us an email, and we can make the arrangements.

We apologize for any inconvenience and hope that you understand the circumstances surrounding the cancellation".

Black Sabbath are reported to be working on one final album to be released in 2015.

Earlier this week, Sharon Osbourne announced that Sabbath's upcoming dates in Japan will be their last ever.
