JAKARTA - Singer Ozzy Osbourne canceled his North American tour, entitled No More Tours 2. Quoted from Ozzy's official website, the tour was canceled because Ozzy will be undergoing treatment from the illness he suffered recently. This is the second time the Black Sabbath vocalist has canceled the tour after last year's first.
