Ozzy Osbourne, 70, rushed to hospital

Ozzy Osbourne has been hospitalised following ‘complications’ with the flu.

The 70-year-old rocker’s wife, Sharon Osbourne, took to her Twitter to reveal that doctors told the rocker to seek emergency help.

“As some of you may have heard, Ozzy was admitted to hospital following some complications from the flu,” Sharon wrote on Twitter.

“His doctors feel this is the best way to get him on a quicker road to recovery.”

According to The Blast, Ozzy checked into Keck Hospital of USC on Monday and Sharon arrived a short time later with a suitcase and a blanket, which seemed to indicate she would be staying at the hospital overnight.

Sharon also skipped Tuesday’s episode of The Talk, which she co-hosts, in order to stay by the Black Sabbath rocker’s side

Ozzy was forced to postpone the UK and European leg of his ‘No More Tours 2’ after contracting the flu at the end of last month.

He said he was “devastated” to have to postpone the tour dates, which came after he pushed back a string of other dates last year when he contracted an infection in his thumb.

“I’m completely devastated for having to postpone the European leg of my tour,” he said.

“It just seems that since October everything I touch has turned to s**t. First the staph infection in my thumb and now coming down with the flu and bronchitis.

“I want to apologise to all of my fans who have been so loyal over the years, my band, my crew and to Judas Priest for letting you all down.

“However, I promise the tour with Judas Priest will be completed. It’s being rescheduled right now to start in September. Again, I apologise to everyone. God Bless. Love you all, Ozzy.”
