Ozzy Osbourne - Suffers From Laryngitis, Forced To Cancel Tonight's Graspop Appearance

Legendary heavy metal singer Ozzy Osbourne, designated Saturday headliner of the Graspop Metal Meeting taking place this weekend in Dessel, Belgium, had to cancel tonight's performance as he suffers from severe laryngitis and his doctor has ordered an immediate 72 hours vocal rest before further evaluation.

Comments Ozzy: "I was so looking forward to performing at the legendary Graspop Metal Meeting. It really pains me to let people down and it is with great disappointment that I am unable to perform for the great fans of Belgium."

The festival schedule has been modified accordingly. Former co-headliners Judas Priest will now headline on Saturday in a two-hour performance featuring a special laser show. Belgian thrashers Channel Zero have been added to the billing on short notice and will perform a 60 minute show, the first time they'll be performing their reunion album Feed 'Em With A Brick live.

You may not like Ozzy now, but the lead singer of Black Fucking Sabbath deserves some respect. Get well soon, Ozzy!

It definitely sucks about him not making it. I bet that bothers him.

But at least he tries really hard to make good appearances, which is respectable !

The should show some respect just based on the fact he is sick, being sick with laryngitis sucks.
