Injured OZZY OSBOURNE Forced Out Of Variety Show

December 14, 2004

BBC News is reporting that Ozzy Osbourne has been forced to pull out of the Royal Variety Performance, which is being filmed on Tuesday (Dec. 14),because of a shoulder injury.

Osbourne needs another operation because the metal plate he had inserted after a quad bike accident last year has become so painful.

Osbourne's wife Sharon will appear on BBC One's "Crimewatch" on Tuesday after their home was robbed last month.

The Royal Variety Performance, to be screened on Wednesday, will take place in front of Prince Charles and was due to be Osbourne's only U.K. live appearance of the year.

A statement from his record company said: "Adjustments need to be made to the plate which is making Ozzy very uncomfortable at present.

"Although having made a remarkable recovery from the life-threatening accident, Ozzy needs the procedure as soon as possible."

His place will be taken by wife Sharon and daughter Kelly, who will send his apologies to the crowd at the London Coliseum.

Meanwhile, Sharon will also feature on "Crimewatch UK" to appeal for help tracing thieves who broke into their Buckinghamshire home and stole valuable jewellery.

Ozzy Osbourne tackled a burglar who then jumped 30ft (10m) from a first floor window and escaped.

A £100,000 reward has been offered for information leading to a conviction.

The stolen items included three wedding rings, a pearl necklace and a sapphire bought as an investment for their daughters.
