Fans are bumming after news that heavy metal legend Ozzy Osbourne has dropped out of the upcoming music festival Power Trip due to health concerns.
Osbourne was announced as one of the headliners for the inaugural rock and metal festival in Indio California.
The former Black Sabbath frontman announced a retirement from touring earlier this year. However, that didn’t stop him from penciling in a headlining spot for Power Trip alongside AC/DC, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Tool, and Guns N’ Roses.

Back in high school, Uiagalelei was a two-sport athlete playing both football and baseball.

The retired 42-year-old Samuel, who won two Super Bowls with the Patriots and later played for the Eagles and Falcons, took issue with a ranking of the NFL’s top active cornerbacks conducted by ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
