Ozzy Osbourne is rescheduling his Shoreline Amphitheatre — again.

The new date is Oct. 20.

The Mountain View show was originally scheduled to take place on Oct. 6, but was postponed — first to Oct. 16 — due because the heavy metal hero needed to have surgery on his hand.

“The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and Grammy-winning singer and songwriter is being treated for an infection, which required surgery on his hand this morning (Saturday, October 6),” according to a news release released on Oct. 6. “Osbourne will spend a couple of days at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles where he’ll remain under doctor’s care as they monitor the infection.”

That was originally the only show that was supposed to be impacted by Osbourne’s medical situation. But now comes word that more changes are necessary.

“Ozzy Osbourne has postponed two additional shows following further consultations with his doctors at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles, who have advised that he take a few extra days to recover,” according to a news release. “The two shows, Tuesday, October 9 at Mattress Firm Amphitheatre in Chula Vista and Thursday, October 11 at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, will be rescheduled as follows: Monday, October 15 in Los Angeles at the Hollywood Bowl and Thursday, October 18 in Chula Vista (San Diego),at Mattress Firm Amphitheatre.

“In addition, the Mountain View, CA show at Shoreline Amphitheatre, which was previously rescheduled for Tuesday, October 16, has been moved to Saturday, October 20.”

Osbourne is known for both his work with the legendary Black Sabbath and in his own multi-platinum-selling solo career. His Shoreline show is also this year’s 107.7 The Bone Presents Bone Bash XVIII concert,.
