Ozzy Osbourne is giving fans a health update.

In a new interview, the Prince of Darkness said, “Well, I’ve been working my guts out to try and get back on my feet. I’ve come to the point where Sharon says to me, ‘You know what? The truth of the matter is you can’t keep booking tours and failing, canceling.”

“So, if I can ever get back to where I can tour again, fine. But right now, if you said to me, ‘Can you go on the road in a month?’ I couldn’t say yes. I mean, if I could tour, I’d tour.” Ozzy continued, “But right now I can’t book tours because right now I don’t think I could pull them off.”

Ozzy went on to say, “The f**king press drives you nuts. I mean, I looked in the magazine, ‘Ozzy’s on his last legs.’ I’m f**king not dying…Come on, guys. Haven’t I had it bad enough already? If I get OK today, if the doctor said to me today, ‘Oh, you can tour, it would take another six months to get it together, you know?”

In January, Ozzy announced he was canceling all upcoming shows and retiring from touring due to years of medical issues.
