Ozzy cancels UK dates after breaking foot

Ozzy Osbourne has cancelled two UK tour dates after breaking his foot.

The former Black Sabbath frontman has postponed this week's Wembley Arena and Birmingham NEC shows.

He needs to undergo surgery and has rescheduled the concerts for October and November.

Osbourne's Wembley and Birmingham shows were to have been his first UK arena concerts for eight years.

His daughter Kelly had already pulled out of the shows last month due to ill health.

He said today: "I f***ed up my foot on Ozzfest and I need to get it fixed so I can be fighting fit when I come home to the UK."

He will now play The Point in Dublin on October 22, Glasgow SECC (24), Newcastle Arena (26), Wembley Arena (29) and Birmingham NEC (31 and November 1).

Kelly and Ozzy release details of duet

Kelly Osbourne has released details of a duet with her dad Ozzy, after landing a new record deal.

The pair are to re-record a version of the song Changes, which first appeared on a 1972 Black Sabbath album.

Kelly was dumped by her previous record label, Epic, earlier this year.

She also axed a series of dates on a recent tour, which prompted speculation she was abandoning her fledgling music career entirely.

Kelly blamed the cancellation of her shows - including dates with her dad - on her health, although there was no clarification on what was wrong with her.

She has now signed a deal with music group Sanctuary, which will reissue her debut album Shut Up with extra tracks under the new name Changes.

The title track - to be released on November 3 - has been rewritten by Kelly and Ozzy to reflect the changing relationship between a father and daughter as they grow older.

A spokesman for the singer said: "Kelly is currently writing songs for her next album and plans to go into the studio in the next month to begin recording." Changes is her first recording with her dad.

Sanctuary Records is home to artists such as Morrissey, who signed a deal with the company this year after years without a contract.

Ozzy 'n' Sharon's Quick Split

Say it ain't so.

Rock's royal couple, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, briefly broke up this past spring when the Prince of Darkness fell off the wagon, although the duo have since reconciled their differences.



Mama left home when Ozzy started drinking and abusing prescription drugs--even as their son Jack waited to enter rehab.

"I just said, 'You have to stop,' and he didn't. And I said, 'Well then, I'm going.' And I packed my bags, and I left," Sharon confessed to Barbara Walters in an interview for ABC's 20/20.

Just a few days sans his "Shaaar-onnn!" was all Ozzy needed to see the error of his ways.

"The minute I left, the next morning, he gave up drinking. But I needed to make sure that he was on a roll. That he really meant it," said Sharon. "And, after four days, I came back to see him. And he was trying so hard. So hard. Still is clean and sober."

This isn't the first time Sharon has spilled her domestic woes to Walters. Last November, Ozzy's wily wife and manager complained to Babs that MTV's cameras had become too much. "I can't throw up on my own," said the then chemo-weakened Sharon, "and Ozzy can't get drunk on his own."

This time around, Jack, who spent two months in a detox facility in Pasadena for drug and alcohol abuse, joined his mom for the tell-all, 'fessing up to Barbara that he tried to commit suicide because he was so depressed over Sharon's colon cancer. The Osbourne matriarch is now in remission.

"I attempted to overdose," the 17-year-old said in the interview, due to air Friday night on the Alphabet net at 10 p.m. "Take a whole bunch of pills and drink some absinthe."

While the family's misfortunes might make for great TV, viewers will never get to see Sharon storm out on Ozzy or young Jack attempt an overdose because camera crews had already finished taping the third and, at that time, final season when the drama went down.

The Osbournes have since signed on for a fourth season, scheduled to air early next year, but taping at the Osbournes' Beverly Hills mansion didn't resume until this summer after the brouhaha died down.

However, Osbourne junkies can get their fix of the wacky TV family next week when Sharon's syndicated daytime talk show debuts on Monday. Her young crush, Justin Timberlake, helps kick off Monday's show while Jack joins his mom on Thursday for a discussion about teen addiction and recovery.
