Ozzy scraps Cleveland show over 'family matter'

An "unforeseen family matter" has prompted Ozzy Osbourne to scrap his concert tonight in Cleveland, Ohio.

The rocker was billed to perform a pre-Christmas show with tourmate Rob Zombie at the Wolstein Centre, but the show has been axed.

Specific details about the family matter Osbourne must attend to have not been released.

Zombie will now play a solo show at Cleveland's House of Blues instead.

There were no plans as yet to cancel an upcoming New York show at Madison Square Garden on December 22. This will be Osbourne and Zombie's last show of the year. They will hit the road again on January 3 with a concert in Maine.
