Sharon Osbourne has unexpectedly canceled her talk show tour just hours before it was set to begin in Stockholm, Sweden. The show was titled Cut the Crap and she was scheduled to travel across Helsinki, Oslo, and Copenhagen. However, the entire tour has now been officially scrapped.
According to a statement from Oslo’s Folketeateret, the abrupt cancellation was attributed to a private “family issue.” Although Sharon has not yet personally addressed the situation, her spokesperson reportedly admitted to being unclear on the full details of the decision, leaving fans confused and concerned.

Sharon Osbourn’s Cut the Crap had previously toured the UK, usually giving fans a closer look at the highs and lows of her life. The show was an unfiltered and personal account of her toughest experiences, from the challenges in her marriage to Ozzy Osbourne to family struggles with substance abuse, betrayals in her profession, and her longtime battles with mental health.
The decision to cancel the tour came just as Sharon had been supporting her husband, Ozzy Osbourne, through his health challenges. He was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2019 and has undergone multiple surgeries that have kept him back from public appearances. Still, he recently surprised fans by announcing that he would attend Black Sabbath’s farewell concert this summer.
Ozzy Osbourne’s final performance?
Despite his ongoing health issues, Ozzy Osbourne has returned to training to prepare for what may be his last major performance. He noted that his recent training sessions feel like he is starting again as he recovers. His wife, Sharon, confirmed earlier this year that the illness has not impacted his voice, and Ozzy is eager to thank fans in person for their years of support.
The farewell show, Back to the Beginning, will feature other stars, including Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, and Slash, with Tom Morello serving as musical director. Sharon described the event as a “celebration of the genre and the pioneers,” and emphasized that there are no plans for new music, as it is just a night to honor the legacy of a band that changed the course of rock history.
