Alrighty folks, gather ’round because I’ve got some news from the cosmic grapevine that might explain why our dear, sweet Sharon Osbourne has slammed the brakes on what was supposed to be her triumphant return to the European stages. It seems the stars were not aligning for the queen of candor this season.
So, here we go, as the sun moves into Sagittarius, an energy known for its desire to spread its wings and fly, it appears Sharon had the opposite in mind. Astrological Career Retrograde, the little-known transit that plunges one’s job prospects into a state of “meh”, has swooped down like a heavy metal raven, cawing discord into the career paths of many. And guess who’s on the hit list? None other than Madame Osbourne and her rock ‘n roll DJ, Ozzy “The Wizard” Osbourne.
Now hold the phone, as a staunch believer in the holistic nature of the universe, astrology isn’t the only culprit here. Lo and behold, Ozzy, battling the relentless grip of Parkinson’s, just couldn’t shake the tetrousies – I mean, tremors – enough to board a plane.
My stars, this isn’t just a cosmic glitch; it’s a full-blown celestial kerfuffle! With the Prince of Darkness’s health taking center stage, Sharon’s set to reveal some ‘juicy’ tidbits on her tour had to be repackaged for a rescheduled visit to Planet Home instead.
But let’s sprinkle some fairy dust into this dark scene. Sharon has been the weilder of her husband’s magic wand with unwavering love and care, even if Ozzy w ont be playing at his Sabbath reunion. In fact, Sharon says this might just be his “final stop”. Oh, the gravity of those words in the face of the stellar unease we’re dealing with.
As Sharon says, with not even a whisper, “Ozzy didn’t get to say goodbye to his fans, and this feels like a full stop,” conjuring up a final stanza in his epic songbook.
That’s not just dedication; that’s family magic at work, guiding Ozzy to share one last ‘note’ with his fans, a “thank you for my life” present, wrapped in the aura of giving back through a concert that’ll fill the coffers of Parkinson’s charities.
But let’s get back to the stars. Some say Jupiter, the planet of expansion, is setting retrograde, making all our grand plans take a holiday vacation. Funnily, Astrological Career Retrograde hurts celebrities, affecting how they shine in the spotlight. So while Sharon’s plans got a celestial sucker punch, I think she and Ozzy will navigate through this with the same tenacity with which Ozzy sang “Crazy Train.”
In this universe of merriment,

Sharon has sparked concerns after she abruptly canceled her entire talk show tour.
The 72-year-old was scheduled to head to Scandinavia this week for a series of four shows dubbed “Cut The Cr-p,” but the dates have now been mysteriously canceled at the last minute.
She was supposed to kick off the tour on Tuesday in Stockholm and visit other cities within the region, including Helsinki, where one venue detailed the event saying: “Sharon Osbourne, the well-known international TV personality, is now making her debut on stage – live. On her European tour, she’ll be interviewed by Danish model and actress Brigitte Nielsen.”
“On stage, Sharon promises to reveal everything about the most challenging years of her eventful life,” the venue added.

Although Sharon is yet to comment on why she pulled the plug on the tour, The Mirror reports that Oslo’s Folketeateret Venue, where she was due to be appearing on Saturday, said they believed it was because of a “family issue.”
Last year, she was forced to cancel a public appearance at Mad Monster Party in Phoenix due to her husband Ozzy “not being able to fly.”

The tour cancellation comes amid her husband Ozzy’s ailing health condition with Parkinson’s disease.
Sharon has been the primary caregiver of the legendary rocker, who was first diagnosed with the condition in 2003.
In February, she opened up about Ozzy’s health as he prepares to hit the stage for his final concert in July with his Black Sabbath group.
Sharon disclosed that the Black Sabbath frontman can no longer walk due to the effects of the condition on his health, but shared that his singing voice is “as good as ever.”
“He’s very happy to be coming back and very emotional about this,” Sharon told The Sun of her husband’s final show.

“Parkinson’s is a progressive disease. It’s not something you can stabilize. It affects different parts of the body, and it’s affected his legs,” she continued. “But his voice is as good as it’s ever been.”
Ozzy disclosed he had been diagnosed with the brain disorder in 2020 after suffering a fall the previous year.
He has reportedly undergone seven surgeries in the past five years, including a fourth spinal surgery in September 2023.

Meanwhile, Ozzy will reportedly not perform a full set when he reunites with his Black Sabbath band for the first time in 20 years.
Earlier this year, the Prince of Darkness opened up about his upcoming performance in his “Ozzy Speaks Show,” where he confessed that he’ll only be doing “little bits and pieces.”
“I’m not planning on doing a set with Black Sabbath, but I am doing little bits and pieces with them,” he said, per the Daily Mail. “I am doing what I can, where I feel comfortable.”
The event will feature a dozen bands, including Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Gojira, and Anthrax, and will also see a “supergroup” performance comprising members of Limp Bizkit, Van Halen, The Smashing Pumpkins, and Faith No More.
Despite Ozzy’s love for performance, Sharon noted that the concert would be the rocker’s final show.
“Ozzy didn’t have a chance to say goodbye to his friends, to his fans, and he feels there’s been no full stop,” she said. “This is his full stop.”
The all-day heavy metal concert at Villa Park is a charity initiative, as proceeds from the show will be donated to several Parkinson-related charities.
These charities include Cure Parkinson’s, the Birmingham Children’s Hospital, and Acorn Children’s Hospice, a Children’s Hospice supported by Aston Villa.

Sharon’s husband, Ozzy, was forced to quit touring in early 2023 because of his many health conditions.
However, he disclosed that if he got the chance to play one final show, it would be to repay a debt of gratitude he owed to his fans for their support through the years.
“That’s one of the things I’ve been the most fucking pissed off at: I never got the chance to say goodbye or thank you,” he told Rolling Stone UK. “Because my fans are what it’s all about. If I can just do a few gigs… They’ve been loyal to me for f-cking years. They write to me, they know all about my dogs. It’s my extended family, really, and they give us the lifestyle we have. For whatever reason, that’s my goal to work to. To do those shows.”
He added: “If I can’t continue doing shows on a regular basis, I just want to be well enough to do one show where I can say, ‘Hi guys, thanks so much for my life.’ That’s what I’m working towards, and if I drop down dead at the end of it, I’ll die a happy man.”
