Ozzy Osbourne Retires From Touring, Cancels Upcoming Tour Dates

Ozzy Osbourne has announced his retirement from touring and canceled all his upcoming tour dates. In a statement shared on social media, the Prince of Darkness explained that he’s “physically weak” and “not physically capable” of handling the travel necessary for touring.

“This is probably one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to share with my loyal fans,” Osbourne wrote. “As you may all know, four years ago, this month, I had a major accident, where I damaged my spine. My one and only purpose during this time has been to get back on stage. My singing voice is fine. However, after three operations, stem cell treatments, endless physical therapy sessions, and most recently groundbreaking Cybernics (HAL) Treatment, my body is still physically weak.” He continued:

I am honestly humbled by the way you’ve all patently held onto your tickets for all this time, but in all good conscience, I have now come to the realization that I’m not physically capable of doing my upcoming European/UK tour dates, as I know I couldn’t deal with the travel required. Believe me when I say that the thought of disappointing my fans really FUCKS ME UP, more than you will ever know.

Never would I have imagined that my touring days would have ended this way. My team is currently coming up with ideas for where I will be able to perform without having to travel from city to city and country to country.

I want to thank my family……my band……my crew……my longtime friends, Judas Priest, and of course my fans for their endless dedication, loyalty, and support, and for giving me the life that I never dreamed I would have.

I love you all…

Osbourne was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in early 2003, but didn’t announce it publicly until 2020. His farewell tour, No More Tours II, was pushed back several times amid health concerns and the COVID-19 pandemic. The Black Sabbath frontman released his latest album, Patient Number 9, last year.

La Luz’s Shana Cleveland Unveils New Single ‘A Ghost’

La Luz’s Shana Cleveland has unveiled a new single, ‘A Ghost’, alongside an accompanying video. It’s taken from her new solo album Manzanita, which was announced with the track ‘Faces in the Firelight’. Check out the Vice Cooler-directed visual for ‘A Ghost’ below.

“I never really gave pregnancy and childbirth very much thought, and when I did become pregnant I was surprised by how much of a psychedelic experience it was,” Cleveland said of the new song in a press release. “A subtitle for this album could be: ‘What to Expect When You Are Open to the Mysteries of the Universe.’ When I sat outside the house looking out across the field, the chemistry and shape of my body constantly changing, I understood that I was no different than the plants and animals around me.”

Manzanita is slated for release on March 10 via Hardly Art Records.

“This track is a ‘Get in the Uber, Bitch!’ ode to nightlife, purgatory, and club rats everywhere,” Debby Friday said in a statement. “Uñas and I had been wanting to collab for a while and this was a case of right vibe, right time.”

GOOD LUCK will be out on March 24.

Death Valley Girls Share Video for New Song ‘Magic Powers’

Death Valley Girls have unveiled ‘Magic Powers’, the third offering from their upcoming full-length Islands in the Sky. It follows previous singles ‘Sunday’ and ‘What Are the Odds’. Check it out below.

Discussing the new song, the band’s Bonnie Bloomgarden said in a statement: “I was walking down the street, and all of the sudden it dawned on me that almost all the things that kids bullied me about, or I got in trouble for in school, or was told would make me never amount to anything, were actually my magic powers! My voice isn’t too high, or funny, it’s how I cast my spells! I’m not a bad student, I love learning, and being a seeker! And I’m not a crazy person with weird ideas, that will never fit into society, I’m a witch, and I have magic powers!”

Islands in the Sky is due out February 24 via Suicide Squeeze Records.

Ducks Ltd., Mo Troper, and Ratboys’ Julia Steiner Cover the Feelies’ ‘Invitation’

Ducks Ltd. have teamed up with Mo Troper and Ratboys’ Julia Steiner for a cover of the Feelies’ 1991 track ‘Invitation’. It’s the latest installment of their series The Sincerest Form of Flattery, which has seen them tackling the Cure’s ‘In Between Days’ with Jane Inc. and the Jesus and Mary Chain’s ‘Head On’ with illuminati hotties’ Sarah Tudzin. Take a listen below.

Talking about the cover, the band’s Tom McGreevy said in a statement:

In Toronto, it’s a really big thing on Halloween for bands to do cover sets where they dress up as the band they are covering. This year, Evan [Lewis] and a group of people who have all played in Ducks at one point or another got together to do a Feelies cover set and they were amazing! So good in fact that I immediately wanted to preserve their excellent cover band for posterity while also insinuating myself in the end result! It was a real family affair, with Paul Erlichman (who sometimes plays in our live band and does the string arrangements on our records), Katie Ryan(who used to play bass in our touring band) and the incomparable Kurt Marble (who used to be our live drummer) all playing on it. Another big part of what appealed about doing this cover was putting together a new vocal arrangement for the choruses, and so we got two artists who we really love to help us out with that, the Julia Steiner of Ratboys and Portland power pop icon Mo Troper. They’re both so good and have such distinct voices and it is super exciting to get to hear them on this song that I think about all the time. Feelies forever!

Duckts Ltd.’s debut album, Modern Fiction, came out in 2021. Check out our Artist Spotlight interview with Duckts Ltd.

The Tallest Man on Earth Announces New Album ‘Henry St.’, Shares Video for New Single

The Tallest Man on Earth has announced his first album of original songs in four years. Henry St., the follow-up to 2019’s I Love You. It’s a Fever Dream., comes out April 14 via ANTI-. Today’s announcement comes with the release of a new single called ‘Every Little Heart’. Check out its Jeroen Dankers–directed video below, along with the album’s cover art and tracklist.

Produced by Sylvan Esso’s Nick Sanborn, Henry St. features contributions from Ryan Gustafson (guitar, lap steel, ukulele), TJ Maiani (drums), CJ Camerieri (trumpet, French horn), Phil Cook (piano, organ), Rob Moose, yMusic (strings), and Adam Schatz (saxophone).

“Henry St. is the most playful, most me album yet, because it covers so many of the different noises in my head,” Kristian Matsson said in a statement. “When you overthink things, you get further away from your original ideas. And God knows I overthink things when I’m by myself.” The time in isolation also brought him some newfound peace of mind. “Having been away from it taught me that making music and performing is what I’m doing for the rest of my life, and I’m so grateful for it. It has given me new confidence and playfulness. This is what I do. It’s unconditional.”

Last year, the Tallest Man on Earth released the covers collection Too Late for Edelweiss.

Westerman Announces New Album ‘An Inbuilt Fault’, Unveils New Song ‘CSI: Petralona’

Westerman has announced a new album called An Inbuilt Fault. It’s set to arrive on May 5 via Partisan. Today, the London-born, Athens, Greece-based artist has shared the record’s lead single ‘CSI: Petralona’, which was co-produced by Westerman and James Krivchenia of Big Thief. Listen to it below, and scroll down for An Inbuilt Fault‘s cover artwork (by Bráulio Amado) and tracklist.

Speaking about ‘CSI: Petralona’, Westerman said in a statement: “I had the riff for the song and left it lying around with a bunch of other bits and pieces. A friend told me that Tom Waits has this image of having a musical junk drawer of old parts that you haven’t found anything to do with. It came from there. I went to Greece for a month to scope out if I wanted to move here, and a friend encouraged me to write about this strange day I had there. The lyrics were immediate. It’s presented on the album as it was first written. It’s the most autobiographical song on the record.”

An Inbuilt Fault will follow Westerman’s 2020 debut Your Hero Is Not Dead. It includes the previously released single ‘Idol; RE-Run’.

Kate Bush, White Stripes, Missy Elliott, and More Among 2023 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Nominees

The nominees for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s Class of 2023 have been revealed. The White Stripes, Missy Elliott, Sheryl Crow, Warren Zevon, Cyndi Lauper, George Michael, Willie Nelson, and (packaged together) Joy Division/New Order are among the first-time nominees, while Kate Bush, Iron Maiden, Soundgarden, the Spinners, A Tribe Called Quest, and Rage Against the Machine have also been nominated.

This is the fourth nomination for Kate Bush and the Spinners, and the second for Soundgarden, Iron Maiden, and A Tribe Called Quest. Rage Against the Machine are nominated for the fifth time after being up for induction in 2018, 2019, 2021, and 2022.

This week, The Los Angeles Times reported that Billy Joel wrote a letter urging the Rock Hall nominating committee to nominate Zevon, who has been eligible since 1994. Missy Elliott and the White Stripes are being nominated in their first year of eligibility.

“This remarkable list of Nominees reflects the diverse artists and music that the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame honors and celebrates,” John Sykes, Chairman of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation, said in a statement. “These artists have created their own sounds that have impacted generations and influenced countless others that have followed in their footsteps.”

This year’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees will be announced in May, with the induction ceremony set to take place in the fall.

Petite Noir Announces New Album ‘MotherFather’, Enlists Sampa the Great for New Song

Petite Noir has announced MotherFather, his first new LP since the 2018 visual album La Maison Noir. It’s out April 14 via ROYA/Warp, and today, the Congolese artist has previewed it with the single ‘Blurry’, which features Sampa the Great and comes with a video directed by Hector Aponysus. Check it out below and scroll down for the album’s cover artwork and tracklist.

“‘Blurry’ is a song about growth in love,” Petite Noir explained in a statement. “Being ready to take that next step whether it means being together or apart. Sometimes the best thing you can do is just move forward with your life solo. Choosing you above all.”

Sampa the Great added: “I felt so honoured to be able to work with Petite Noir. I’ve looked up to him and his music for a while and I’m truly inspired by his courage in paving the way for alternative musicians in Africa who feel like they don’t fit into one genre or one style.”

Of the album, which is subtitled The darkness is comforting sometimes, Petite Noir said: “It’s about going through the darkness. But it’s also about rebirth – because the dark times are needed for us to grow.”
