Tony Iommi said that Black Sabbath was offered a spot at the Power Trip festival, happening in October in California but he turned it down because of Ozzy's health…only to find out Ozzy had agreed to do it with his own band.
Welp, Ozzy just cancelled.
He just released a statement online that said, quote "As painful as this is, I've had to make the decision to bow out. 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."
As painful as this is, I’ve had to make the decision to bow out of performing on Power Trip in October.

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.
