Ozzy Osbourne has just announced that his postponed Los Angeles Hollywood Bowl show will now take place Monday, July 27, 2020. The concert — part of the itinerary of his recently announced new dates for his "No More Tours 2" — will come near the end of Ozzy's 2020 North American shows, which kick off May 27 in Atlanta and conclude July 31 in Las Vegas. Prior to the North American tour, the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductee and Grammy-winning singer and songwriter will kick off a six-week European trek in Ozzy's native United Kingdom on January 31 before wrapping March 16 in Zurich, Switzerland. The tour includes stops throughout the U.K. — Nottingham, Dublin, Manchester, Newcastle, London (O2 Arena), Glasgow and Ozzy's Birmingham hometown — before heading to Europe for gigs in Germany, Finland, Sweden, Austria, Czech Republic, Italy and Switzerland. In early April, Ozzy postponed all his 2019 tour dates, both in North America and Europe, as he recovered from an injury sustained while dealing with his recent bout of pneumonia. The singer fell at his Los Angeles home, aggravating years-old injuries from his 2003 ATV accident that required new surgery. The 70-year-old Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductee has battled a variety of health issues since kicking off his farewell "No More Tours 2" tour last summer. He contacted a staph infection in October that forced the initial postponement of his North American tour dates. In January, Osbourne scrapped his European tour because of an upper respiratory infection that turned into pneumonia, forcing him to cancel dates in Japan, Australia and New Zealand. "No More Tours 2" is a reference to Ozzy's 1992 "No More Tours" trek, which marked the first time the singer announced the end of his days as a touring artist. The tour name was a pun based on the title of his then-most recent solo album, "No More Tears". Ozzy returned to action three years later and has been on the road ever since.
