Ozzy Osbourne was hospitalized on Monday due to complication from the flu, it was revealed Wednesday.
“His doctors feel this is the best way to get him on a quicker road to recovery,” the 70-year-old rocker’s wife Sharon Osbourne tweeted. “Thanks to everyone for their concern and love.”
Osbourne is reportedly at Keck Hospital of University of Southern California.
At the end of January, Osbourne pulled the plug on his UK and European tour with Judas Priest.
“It just seems that since October, everything I touch has turned to s**t,” he said, in a statement. “First, the staph infection in my thumb and now coming down with the flu and bronchitis.”
Osbourne is scheduled to bring the tour to four Canadian cities – Montreal, Hamilton, Edmonton and Vancouver – this summer.
